    I guess it'll be tough to ever know for sure because at the rate things are going we'll never leave. It's hard to even imagine what the landscape will be like in 2024 when the agreement runs out. Here's a guess though, life will still suck over there.

    I was there from late 2001 to mid 2002 then back again from late 2002 to the beginning of 2003, even in that short span of time I witnessed a sort of transformation, the general populace doesn't want 'em around, that and Karzai (both Hamid and Ahmed) are both cordial with Pakistan, enough that even though Pakistan's ISI may want 'em both dead (it's believed they've unsuccessfully attempted to assassinate 'em), the other side of that coin is the Karzai's know their way around the rest of Pakistan's government. That and Ahmed controls all sorts of underhanded mafia like paramilitary forces with all sorts of ties to the heroin trade - it'd be the same as John Gotti running the mob while John Gotti's brother was the President of the United States with less oversight from Congress or any other facet of the Federal government.

    That and the average every day hooked on khat lazy as $#@! all Afghani despises the Taliban.

    I'm not a liberal.

    You're a dittohead though, so you wouldn't understand.

    A decade of war, huh, wasn't it obammy who pulled the troops out of Iraq and put them in Afgan land? Now he signs an agreement to be there until 2024? What a frigging joke this one is, like nobody can see past his stupidity. He believes that he knows all and is gods gift to the world. He is a douche bag, nothing more. Probably has the same IQ as my shoe size.

    The eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring bullets loading. you are old enough to kill , but not for voting, this whole crazy world is just to frustrating, and you tell me over and over and over again my friend, you don't believe we are on the EVE of DESTRUCTION.


    Never approach a bull from the front, A horse from behind, or a fool from any direction.
