If you did want to go to war with the Taliban?

[BuckyOne]

Wouldn't this have been a great time to do it? Saw a little BS. Use some Afghan's for bait and just blast the hell out of them.

But, no, the soldier's hands have always been tied to not look bad!

How quickly we forget...

On August 20, 1998, the United States retaliated against Osama bin Laden for his alleged role in the East Africa U.S. embassy bombings. On that day the U.S. launched dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles against two targets--several bin Laden training camps in Afghanistan and a pharmaceutical factory in the Sudan.

Thank you Bill Clinton.

This is supposed to be how it's done.

NOT sending boots on the ground as did that Texas shit-for-brains GWB.

The only reason they exist is because the powers that be want them to exist. Fought numerous world powers in the world wars but can't defeat some goat herders?

Define a proportional response to the World Trade Centers, Pentagon & Flight that crashed in PA.

Seriously, that was about the 5th or 6th terrorist attack that occurred AFTER Clinton refused to accept the surrender or involuntary incarceration of Bin Laden.

The United States foreign policy under the last 3 Democrats has been nothing short of absolute disaster.

Hey CHUMP, let me remind you ole ignorant one. The war in Iraq and Afghanistan were started by Bush and his team lost them both...

Time you woke up to reality at least 10 minutes out of a 24 hour day.

"The United States foreign policy under the last 3 Democrats has been nothing short of absolute disaster"

What da Fukk world are you living in??? NOBODY likes Americans since FOREVER.

Reagan ran the deficit from $70b to $175b. Trickle Down Economics? Fukk Off!!! One Termer Bush 41 ran it up to $300b. When Clinton left the White House the USA had a SURPLUS of 100b. Eight years of GWB turned that into a $1.2t deficit. Not to mention he left the Dow at $7k.

GWB's answer to 9/11 was to print money, print money, print money. Put boots on the ground in Iraq to hunt down Saddam Husein who wasn't even involved in the 9/11 attacks. Drove gasoline prices up to nearly $5g crippling small businessmen while lining the pockets of his oil buddies. USA allies were NEVER more alienated.

Enron. Remember that little Texas debacle? Innocent employees lost their life savings. Back to the Dow at $7k... after GWB, Obama lifted the Dow to $19.7k, a 150% increase, an incredible Bull Run. And the run continues today under a new Democratic Administration. Dow just broke $35k this week.

Any imbecile can make money investing today. You have not made money in this economy Fats???

Turn off Fox News and CNN. Cut the cable and live a better life. And stop trying to rewrite history.

The war in Iraq & Afghanistan were won in record time

There hasn't been a non US government in either Country since Biden just surrendered here

Furthermore, active military operations ended in Iraq in 07 and in Afghanistan in 09. Its been nation building & peace keeping for over a decade.

Thats why this exit is so fukked up.

It should be so easy w competent military advisors to transition here...but Biden isn't competent and neither is his affirmative action military advisor group.

Now he's got to go back to war after today's events

I actually get a higher rate of return thru my business but I'm not understanding what Enron has to do with whatever point you were trying to make.

You cannot defend the liberal home ownership and community reinvestment policies the liberals pushed upon the banks in the 99s & early 2000s.

They are, conclusively, the cause of the economic collapse the US suffered.

Enron was 1 company who's market cap was a drop in the bucket of the energy sector let alone the national economy.

Debt issuance, so long as it's % to gdp is under 90, and as a percentage keeps w inflation, is not a big deal.

I don't think you understand that Trump took us to 95% w the PPE and 1st round of stimulus.

Biden bankrupted us w his Stimulous, we are at 110% of gap now.

That is bankruptcy.

[slayer14]

I dont believe the hype that they good mountain warfare army these Talibans

[slayer14]

I've seen a clip of the Taliban trying to fly a helicopter and they botched it and could never take off. Biden is just over hyping them.

[BuckyOne]

Is it possible to find Taliban forces and bomb them? Wasn't the big problem finding them so the military could efficiently attack them?

If the Taliban are not afraid of being attacked they can do whatever they want. It is the only thing they understand, "kill or be killed"!
