Personal note: I thought we were right to go into Afghanistan in 2001. I thought we were right to take out Saddam Hussein afterwards. But that should have been it. The fact that we're still in Afghanistan in 2019 and still dealing with the same people trying to kill us is an embarrassment. And a big part of that embarrassment was Barack Hussein Obama's policy of sucking up to terrorists at every opportunity for eight fucking years. Just think of what we could have done if we had a president who wanted to actually win a war?
But right now? Fuck it.
Obama surrendered and ran away from Iraq like the scared little pathetic bitch that he was, and so now Iraq is pretty much a lost cause. No need to go back, there's nothing that could be accomplished.
Afghanistan is a festering shithole of stupidity and evil. The Taliban was beaten back. We should have left while the leaving was good, but we didn't, and quite frankly after two decades I don't know if Afghanistan is ever going to rise above the level of being a festering shithole. I wouldn't mind if we carpetbombed every Taliban location and left right afterwards. Trump might just do that, as he's of a mind to pull our boys back home. But the usual suspects in D.C. are getting upset about that.
It’s particularly galling to see people you know would screech if Trump used force (like against NATO ally Turkey) screeching because he won’t. President Trump ought to throw this back in their pouty faces and tell them that if the members of the House and Senate are so eager for war, they should avail themselves of the Constitution’s War Powers Clause at Article I, Section 8, Clause 11, and declare one. Let them sign on the line that is dotted if they’re so psyched to rumble in Whocaresistan.
And that right there is probably the best suggestion I've heard on the subject. Hey, Congress! You want our troops put somewhere to fight someone? Then you fucking put that shit on paper, and you sign it. Otherwise, fuck off, you pathetic sacks of dick drippings.
Bah. I'm in week #1 of four weeks straight, so forgive me if I'm a little aggravated. Just wait until week #4!
