Afghanistan: Trump Flip Flopping Like Mackeral
Pres. Dumpsterfire gave a speech tonight at Ft. Myer and delivers vaporware as policy on Afghanistan. There goes another campaign promise down the tubes. Brilliant.

Breitbart tears into Trump, compares him to Obama. Oops.

We helped the Afghans defeat the Russians and instead of leaving them to their own devices, we went on a nation building crusade...it must be the poppies.

Nice summary post from a friend at my forum home while I was away...
I think this headline about sums it up.
"Trump's New Afghan Strategy -- I Won't Tell you" (Huffpost)
In reality, there is no new strategy. We're just gonna keep up the same ol same ol in Afghanistan for the last 16 years. We're going to send more troops and stay longer.
How much longer? How many more troops? What's different that's going to work NOW after more than a decade? .... mumble mumble. That would be telling.
"But it's going to be great, I tell you, great."

The Atlantic: Trump unfit to lead
Exactly how will his idiot supporters get behind this decision given his very long history of tweets against having troops in Afghanistan? Will they, at long last, realize he's simply an incompetent fool con man?

Nope. Because for the great majority of them, the wackjobs behind the podium at every rally, its not about Afghanistan. Its not about anything but the promise of getting any swarthy Mexicans and Muslims, along with any black folks, out of the line in front of them for free shit from the government they hate. It's about making America white again.
But the majority of the people marching with the nazis, the klan, and the neo-confederates are decent people. My ass.

It was my understanding we did leave them to their own devices, and quite abruptly. An traditional Afghan power struggle developed, and the Taliban had mostly won it before 9/11, and our return.

Well put, yet 80% of them are for the repeal of Obamacare. Imagine that.
Wonder why the generals on the Trump train are so intent on keeping and expanding the troops in Afghanistan.

They aren't for very much expanding, I don't think. The Generals are fine with having Afghanistan as a place to go get a ticket punch. This is mostly all Trump talk, 'full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'
