US Has Given 'Limited Support' to Taliban in ISIS Fight, General Says

[Peter1469]

It is inevitable they will have influence on Afghan politics and thus government. Recognizing a Taliban governed Afghanistan isn't tenable for the United States, the goal posts have never changed. And neither has your tolerance for such a reality. You believe Taliban rule is inevitable, I do not, and Neocons won't allow it.


We need to maintain a base of operations in Afghanistan. Get out of their politics, and focus on our enemies in the region. And make sure the Pakistani government doesn't fall. We got this, Pete, you move on along.



Allowing the Taliban to return to govern Afghanistan isn't keeping America safe.

So if we keep a base there to conduct counter terror ops and keep out of Afghan politics, and I could support that if there is zero mission creep, what do we do if perhaps 10-20 years later the Afghan people vote in a Taliban super majority government?

They vote in a super majority Taliban government.....we go in and make it a super minority Taliban government. And ask they try....again. We're not going to ever recognize a super majority Taliban government. Ain't happening. Any more questions?

That isn't likely to happen. I suggest you come up with a plan B.

And if I had a nickel for every time something happened after you told us all it would be unlikely, I could retire early. Plan A is working, and will remain in effect until further notice.

I know it's sort of lazy and predictable of me to say this, but....we all know if this had happened under Obama, we'd be hearing claims that Obama is a secret Muslim, traitor, get the gallows ready, etc...

Sorry...

Didn't I suggest that you proof read before posting?

You must not expect much in retirement.

If what had happened under Obama?

What is the Neocon 10 year plan to ensure the Taliban does not gain an unacceptable level of political power in Afghanistan?

How much does that cost? How many troops need to die for the Afghans?

As always, I am here to help the neocons when they man up and decide they need to personalty put their ass where their mouth is. I can give all sorts of needed advice. Set you up for your occupation duties. I can even service their wives for them since their mission will last decades.
