#1 Whew! So glad this doesn't concern us any more!

The Afghan "government" was always a joke. They're an easy price to pay to get out of there. The whole of Afghanistan isn't worth a single more American's life. Not one more.

#2 Praise Allah Herb! It's not as if the plague of fundamentalist Muslims there tried to murder 50,000 human Americans on 9-11. Right?

On the other hand it was definitely the evil Christian West the inspired Muhammad's 610 AD call for global jihad. Right Herb?

#3 #2, That and put a murderous, plundering Arab army in central France a century later. Where's The Hammer when we need him?

#6 I thought it was Saudis that were at the controls.

Sure, but Al Qaeda had been sheltered in Afghanistan by the ruling Taliban ever since they fled Sudan.

#7 I don't want US troops there, but I wouldn't be opposed to a few B-52 strikes if opportunity presents itself on our way out.

Just a reminder that we can't nation build cultural failures into a real nation but we can slaughter better than anyone in history.
