#9  Are they honestly suggesting that what is happening now in Afghanistan is not a civil war? Is that an admission that we are at war with pakistan?

#8  90% of Afghans will die to expel foreign armed forces from their country. But they don't mind the Taliban. Essence of the problem.

“Ninety per cent of Afghans have no education, and they didn’t mind the Taliban. But if you were educated it was hell.”



Kinda sums up the problem right there. Of course there's also the obligatory "US didn't create lasting institutions" crap a little later. But, exactly what does he expect with 90% rubes?

This will be a return to the dark ages of tribal/warlord government. It's what they want.
