Hey DC SWAMP'ers, how about FIXING & PROTECTING AMERICA 1st, before spending another dime eleswhere?

Or does that take $$$$$ out of the wrong pockets in DC?

#3 No and 'Hell No'!

Afghanistan is a Symptom of a deeper malady. If we 'Occupy Afghanistan' the contagion will just relocate to some other hellhole and fester there. Punitive Raids may be the only palliative action -- go in, break things and educate at least a generation that supporting evil is a Bad Idea™.

#4 It is necessary to drive out of your garage to get to work. Performing that activity with your garage door shut is not commendable. Joe and his minions are boneheads.
There is no good case for occupying Afghanistan again. Returning to crack a few heads, to blow up a terrorist base or to repatriate some friends is rational. I would listen to the pitch skeptically, though, if the sell is coming from someone who was previously pimping pumping money and weapons into Ukraine.

#5 By the way: Anybody got a list of officers who were fired, demoted, or otherwise penalized as a consequence of that brilliant withdrawal?

#6 Massive devastation, no excuses, and the CREDIBLE promise to do it again and again if another attack is launched from your territory. And a note to Pakistan that we will include the ISI Headquarters and Senior ISI Leaders homes the next time.

#7 Rudyard Kipling wrote the outsider poetry of that hard part of the world:

"When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains.
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains.
And go to your g-d like a soldier."
