The Era of Biden

[Hanarchy Montanarchy]

We've all conveniently forgotten the overwhelming bi-partisan support for invading Afghanistan.

True
I'm not spending a lot of time on this, maybe that's wrong. I base that on understanding the passionate views in the wake of 9-11. For me, it's much more important to understand how we allow the mistake to continue for 2 decades.

What mistake? The Taliban was harboring, and will continue to harbor Al Qaeda. That makes them an enemy two decades ago and an enemy today.

Either debate your side honestly or shut the fuck up.

there were two distinct operations, US CENTCOM Operation Enduring Freedom

that mission was simply to go after AQ, and that mission was completed in 2003

the second operation started from there, under NATO ISAF command

the nation building mission is not an American mission, it's been a NATO mission for eighteen years

I'll bet, and there are only 80-100 AQ in Afghanistan.

put down the globalist kool aid, bro

they are at the very least not natural allies

they don't have the same mission

AQ is an internationalist Jihad against the Western World

the Taliban are a Pushtun militia which only seeks to impose Sharia Law in Afghanistan

He already admitted it was a mistake to go into Afghanistan: in fact, he's disavowed whatever misguided initial response he had to 9/11, so if you're being snide, shut up already. BUT, if you want to defend all of that, go at it: I'm sure lots of people here would like to see you squirm.

We found massive AQ training camps in Afghanistan way after 2003.

not true

there was only one training camp, at Tarnak Farms

by the time the Canadians took it in 2002, it was just rubble

having been destroyed by TLAM's launched by Bill Clinton
