Why is it as soon as Obama announces the extension of troops in Afghanistan to satisfy the too scared to admit military Bush's face is all over main stream media?
Almost before it was announced.
The USA has no legislation to cover the Taliban. The Taliban did not down jets on September 11, 2015. The event this decision was based on occurred 14 years ago and it was due to the organizing of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. This is another ILLEGAL war.
New York Times has a map of Afghanistan as to where the Taliban is and has influence.
SO.
The Taliban no longer have bin Laden to finance their poppy wars, so now they rob banks.
This is Afghanistan's problem. The problem does not belong to the USA. Since when is the USA military the boy scouts of th world to fight other country's civil wars?
There is absolutely NO REASON to keep troops in Afghanistan. None. This is not a threat to the USA.
Cut the funding to the military. I think global neutrality is a better place for the USA. Global neutrality allows for a strong national defense. Global neutrality will allow for alliance if needed. Global neutrality will remove the blood of the innocent off our hands.
There is no US or UN resolution to continue the presence in Afghanistan. The won't be any UN resolution because Russia will veto anything that extends the USA in the Middle East. There is nothing there at is a threat to the USA. Quite frankly, China, France and Britain might veto any UN resolution for the USA's presence in any civil war. NATO won't want to be dragged back into another illegal war.
Barak Obama, "I do not believe in endless wars." PROVE IT!
This speech was given by President Ford (click here) amid the international turmoil surrounding the end of the Vietnam War in April 1975. On the very day the President gave this speech, 100,000 North Vietnamese soldiers were advancing toward Saigon, South Vietnam's capital. Meanwhile, leaders from around the world, and the North Vietnamese themselves, waited to see how the United States would react to the pending collapse of South Vietnam, which the U.S. had fought hard to preserve....
...On January 8, 1815, a monumental American victory was achieved here -- the Battle of New Orleans. Louisiana had been a State for less than three years, but outnumbered Americans innovated, outnumbered Americans used the tactics of the frontier to defeat a veteran British force trained in the strategy of the Napoleonic wars.
We as a nation had suffered humiliation and a measure of defeat in the War of 1812. Our National Capital in Washington had been captured and burned. So, the illustrious victory in the Battle of New Orleans was a powerful restorative to our national pride.
Yet, the victory at New Orleans actually took place two weeks after the signing of the armistice in Europe. Thousands died although a peace had been negotiated. The combatants had not gotten the word. Yet, the epic struggle nevertheless restored America's pride.
Today, America can regain the sense of pride that existed before Vietnam. But it cannot be achieved by refighting a war that is finished as far as America is concerned. As I see it, the time has come to look forward to an agenda for the future, to unify, to bind up the Nation's wounds, and to restore its health and its optimistic self-confidence.
In New Orleans, a great battle was fought after a war was over. In New Orleans tonight, we can begin a great national reconciliation. The first engagement must be with the problems of today, but just as importantly, the problems of the future. That is why I think it is so appropriate that I find myself tonight at a university which addresses itself to preparing young people for the challenge of tomorrow.
I ask that we stop refighting the battles and the recriminations of the past. I ask that we look now at what is right with America, at our possibilities and our potentialities for change and growth and achievement and sharing. I ask that we accept the responsibilities of leadership as a good neighbor to all peoples and the enemy of none. I ask that we strive to become, in the finest American tradition, something more tomorrow than we are today.
Instead of my addressing the image of America, I prefer to consider the reality of America. It is true that we have launched our Bicentennial celebration without having achieved human perfection, but we have attained a very remarkable self-governed society that possesses the flexibility and the dynamism to grow and undertake an entirely new agenda, an agenda for America's third century....
