#4 Karzai - that guy that ended the night raids and turned a blind eye to the war lords.

President Trump has the right strategy - Lawfare backed up with a kinetic response...mitigate the exposure of our supply lines by staying close to the airfields...hit the war lords in the pocket...and put a missile up their azz if they complain...and kick the US State Dept out of the region along with any of their nation building fantasies.

AF is a huge criminal enterprise that uses the Taliban as muscle - ID the criminal enterprise and crush it kinetically please. Once the ability for the bad guys to make a profit ends...the Taliban will miraculously subside.

#5 Yeah, Karzai, me too. We should have left you to the tender mercies of the Taliban.

#6 I strongly suspect Karzai made a deal with the Taliban midway through his presidency, in exchange for drug money and a promise to avoid targeting him, both before and after the Taliban takes power.

#9 U.S. must seek peace and stability in Afghanistan rather than extending conflict and bloodshed in Afghanistan and the region."

Save that for us....

They actually are not for blog identification purposes here at Rantburg, Zhang Fei, though other websites do use them that way. I've removed yours from that comment.
