THE TRUTH ABOUT AFGHANISTAN "Over the last 20 years, we’ve heard dozens of rationales, justifications and excuses for the US occupation of Afghanistan, all of them now exposed as hollow (or worse). There’s been no “nation-building,” the status of women has not been elevated or protected, the army and security forces have not been “trained” and “modernized,” opium poppy production has not been eradicated, militant groups have not been eliminated, sectarian strife has not lessened, the influence of Pakistan’s ISI has not been blunted. But American contractors and weapons makers have made tens of billions, year after year, for two decades, on long-term, no-bid contracts, many of the companies run by retired officials from the Pentagon and CIA, with little to no oversight or accountability. The Afghan war and occupation was one of history’s longest gravy trains, feeding govt. guaranteed profits to some of the most unsavory operators in the country, as 1000s of Afghans perished, and every time someone tried to stop it, they were shouted down with one word: “terrorism.”" "As blame is apportioned for the Afghan debacle, the temptation, fully yielded to by many, is to focus on Cheney and Rumsfeld, leaving out the malign roles played by John McCain, David Petraeus, Barack Obama and nearly the entire US Congress and press corps. + Once you get out, they pull you back in... + If you understand the “War on Terror” as an enterprise for the benefit of weapons makers and defense contractors, it’s been one of the most successful wars in US history. + Cost of Afghan War: $2 trillion. + Cost to stem climate change (according to UN): $300 billion."

@redneck400m3 LOL trump was backed into a corner. He was forced to make the concession. He had no choice but to surrender to the talibans. He abandoned Ghani. He is the shame of america.

@clintonott4550 LOL I don't like biden. He should step down now. But I don't see how trump could have done any differently. This is a mess. This is expected. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling himself.

Jason James You are admitting that america being the most powerful and technologically advanced country in the world, has no ability to hold a fair and reliable democratic election? What business do you have to teach the Afghans a lesson in democracy?

@Troy Kitchens >>we took out Bin Laden and Al Qaeda When you realized Bin Laden and Al Qaeda were not in Afghanistan, you should have immediately apologize to the Afghans. And immediately withdraw and make reparation to the Afghans. Who gave you the right to walk all over innocent people and treat them like enemies?
