The Taliban had bin laden and wouldn't give them to us. That is an act of war. And they were killed. There is a new generation of Taliban.We never had an issue with the Afghan people, or their way of life. The fucking Taliban killed 3000 people in NYC. We should have droned the Taliban long before President Obama finally ordered it.There was disagreement in Obama's admin as to stay or go. The Taliban live there only because we chose not to kill them with drones. We killed them because they helped attack us. I think one can make the argument that allowing girls and women to learn to read the Koran and get medical care facilitates a notion that attacking the US because we don't share their values on social law furthers our goal on not having another 9-11
We drone them because our leaders are big pussies not willing to take the flak the deaths a full scale invasion would cause.
We still would not "win" as there is nothing to win.
The Taliban did not. The people we trained and armed did. They quickly left Afghanistan......we stayed.
Correct.
The people responsible for the WTC attack on 9/11 were all Arabs or Saudi, and none of them were Afghans or Taliban.
The Arabs all left Afghanistan and are likely in Iraq, Syria, Libya, or someplace else now.
There is absolutely no reason at all for any US troops to ever have gone to Afghanistan, and it was always illegal.
