The Era of Biden

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

it was debatable at the time whether AQ was even still in country

Operation Mountain Thrust pretty much determined that they had fled, into Pakistan

after that, the mission creeped into nation building under NATO command

Having another airbase close to Pakistan is another excellent reason we should not have withdrawn from Afghanistan.

Damn.... my position just gets stronger and stronger.

they can strike just fine from the sea

if they need air bases, they already have plenty nearby to do just that

Afghanistan is redundant af, totally superfluous

your position gets weaker and weaker

Every one of your posts is either A) something Smitty already posted, or B) can be reduced to a two word "nuh-uh."

Change the record, toady.

[Smitty-48]

Of course he can.

he's not going to get me to fight for anything, when he is invoking a centre

if he is invoking a centre, abiding that shit, then there is nothing to fight for there

I clearly heard Farmer say he’s on our side. Monty is clearly on the other side. Hanny’s a Fascist which will end up being our side, as you’ve said.

so long as you are not asking me to fight for something, it's of no consequence

so long as this is just hanging out and shooting the breeze, I have no quarrels

if you want me to do battle tho, I don't fight for a nebulous centre which does not exist : fool's errand

when Smitty is right, he's right

when he's wrong, I don't hesitate to tell him so

if I really was his toady

he'd be laying into me for it

No.
He liked the troops.

See.

"Nuh-uh" would have worked just as well.

His peace plan (by some accounts) would have left at least 2500 troops.

Assuming the Taliban kept their side of the peace deal (an unsafe assumption), that might have been sufficient to avoid this red-assing.

[DBTrek]

If the Taliban attacked our troops while Trump was in charge ... he strikes me as the kind of guy that would escalate that shit to level 1000 without blinking an eye.

I imagine some swamp creatures would have to talk him down from just nuking the place on principle.
He was, I'm told, "nuclear Hitler".

I think we just happen to agree on a wide spectrum

but it doesn't seem like you got your views from me

to me, it seems like you came to your own conclusion before you ever met me

funny how

people only claim I am Smitty's toadie

when they are getting their asses kicked by me in a disagreement and I happen to agree with him

obvious deflection in obvious
