We Lost the War in Afghanistan. Get over It

I guess if the goal is to surreptitiously transfer public wealth into private hands, such a “war” is a huge success.

It was called operation "Enduring Freedom" , should have called it "Enduring Failure" instead.

The USA has learned what the Soviets and British did before them.

“Pakistan can’t guarantee the success of Afghanistan, but it can certainly guarantee it’s continued failure.”

An expression I heard while in Afghanistan on/off between 2012-2014.

Kunduz Airlift(airbridge to exfiltrate key leadership & ISI)

OBL in Abbottabad(like finding Hitler in West Point, NY 1955)

“The Wrong Enemy” by Carlotta Gal(published a decade late)

At most, it should have remained a special operations and support only mission because our allies were not really our allies.

Glad that Bolton is out.
