Let's Get The USA OUT of Afghanistan. Clearly There is No Mission... It's a Bogus War Designed to Last Forever so The Military Industrial Complex Can Make a Huge Profit.

The War in Afghanistan Had a Goal When It Started. To Hunt Down and Kill Osama bin Laden. Well, He's Dead so... What are We Doing There? The Main Effect of US Occupation of that Country is That the OPIUM CROP Has Increased It's Output... With US Troops Fighting Islamic Fundamentalists, Opium Farmers Can Grow More Flowers Without Fear of Having their Crops Burned by The Taliban or the Mujahideen...

HEADLINE: U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited Afghanistan on Sunday amid uncertainty over how long American forces will stay in the country.

In his first trip to Afghanistan as defense chief, which had not been announced publicly, Austin met with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani as well as U.S. diplomat Ross Wilson and Army Gen. Austin Miller, America's top commander in the country.

"I'm here to listen and learn," Austin told reporters in Kabul. "It'll inform my participation in the review that we're undergoing here with the president."

The visit comes as the United States signals difficulties in withdrawing all its forces from Afghanistan by May 1, a deadline outlined in an agreement between the former Trump administration and the Taliban. It also comes as Afghanistan's government and the Taliban continue to work toward a peace deal to end decades of war, even as violent attacks continue.

MEME - gvan42 -  Let's Get The USA OUT of Afghanistan. Clearly There is No Mission... It's a Bogus War Designed to Last Forever so The Military Industrial Complex Can Make a Huge Profit.

Why is there a war in Afghanistan? The short, medium and long story... BBC:

NOW: The US and the Taliban have signed an agreement aimed at paving the way towards peace in Afghanistan after more than 18 years of conflict. Under the deal, the US and its Nato allies will withdraw all their troops from the country in 14 months if the hardline Islamic movement upholds its commitments to stop attacks.

But why is the US fighting a war in Afghanistan and why has it lasted so long?

ANSWER: On 11 September 2001, attacks in America killed nearly 3,000 people. Osama Bin Laden, the head of Islamist terror group al-Qaeda, was quickly identified as the man responsible.

The Taliban, radical Islamists who ran Afghanistan and protected Bin Laden, refused to hand him over. So, a month after 9/11, the US launched air strikes against Afghanistan.

As other countries joined the war, the Taliban were quickly removed from power. But they didn't just disappear - their influence grew back and they dug in.

Since then, the US and its allies have struggled to stop Afghanistan's government collapsing, and to end deadly attacks by the Taliban.

I oppose the US war against the Philippine Islands. Bombing people causes the survivors to join anti US groups.

Why don't we just let those people over there solve their own problems? We don't need to help ISIS with their recruiting drive... DUH.

It reminds me of Endless War in George Orwell's book 1984. We already have Endless War in Afghanistan already, why start another futile bombing crusade? It's all just a marketing trick to help defense contractors sell useless stuff to the Pentagon. That's why we armed ISIS in the first place. OOPS, it was an accident. Now we can bomb people in the name of Freedom. What a racket.

What ever happened to Trump's Infrastructure Plan? Still no actual action, just talk, talk, talk. "He's All hat, no cattle"

We need to spend some money fixing America. Just making a speech doesn't accomplish anything. In reality, the Failed Trump Presidency has not accomplished anything at all...  No Healthcare bill, No Tax cut for the wealthy, No Wall with Mexico, No budget, Nothing. Except...

He has appointed a Supreme Court Justice who approved the Muslim Ban. He also Bombed Afghanistan and Syria... But the Endless War goes on and on and on with no end in sight.

What happened to the Apprenticeship program or Unleashing America's Energy? Is it all a Joke?

Remember, Impeach Trump Now.



Cuomo Declares a State of Emergency for New York City Subways.




I oppose sending more soldiers to Afghanistan. Endless War for Profit.

We have been there for many years and have never been close to winning. No one can even say what the goal is... Just an endless war with no mission. Pointless destruction...
