Obama and Afghanistan


Lets Get Real:

The opinion of this blog  of the uber liberal NYT is well know to the readers of this blog, but this editorial is dead right,  this blog for years has been calling for the US/UK to get out of Afghanistan, the pointless deaths is a shame for both the US and UK Governments. One can postulate that after NATO leaves in 2014 the Country will fall apart, the Central Government in Kabul will fall and President Karzai if he has any sense will be on the last US helicopter out of Kabul, when the USSR left the puppet leader was caught, tortured and killed by the Taliban.   As to prevent Afghanistan returning to a safe place for terrorists the US should do a deal with Pakistan, they should increase their bases in the badlands of Pakistan and send drones over Afghanistan to attack terrorists threats.   This was British Imperial policy but then it was planes.   There is talk that the Obama Administration wants to keep ten thousand US troops in Afghanistan, this would be a bad move, they would be targets with not much support, the Republican House should say NO to any such request form the Oval.   Afghanistan is a hell hole, NEVER mind how many times you invade the place it does not get better, Afghanistan shows what happens to a Country that suffers constant War and Civil War.    TIME FOR THE US/UK to get OUT.
