U.S. Names Afghanistan Major Non-NATO Ally
"We are not even imagining abandoning Afghanistan," Mrs. Clinton said in a press conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. "Quite the opposite: We are building a partnership with Afghanistan that will endure far into the future."
Afghanistan is considered a hardship tour for U.S. diplomats, and Mrs. Clinton took a swipe at "naysayers and cynics who are quick to criticize what we do here."
Sorry, Hillary, as Powell said, "if you broke it, you own it". That's true? That's all we're left with?
The exit strategy seems to be not much of an exit.
Billions to support a corrupt and ludicrous regime. After we leave, and continue throwing money at it the question is at what point do we let Afghanistan (and Pakistan and Haqqani and Taliban) sort it out for themselves?
Bury us in "support". The Great Game played out in 1901.
The Great Game
There are no winners. There are no outside influences possible to resolve whatever the f has been going on there for centuries.
Get out now.
Leave them to their own resolution.
This promotes the re-elect how?
Arrrghhh.
Rant over.
