Mattis promises new Afghanistan strategy by mid-July

By: Leo Shane III and Aaron Mehta, June 13, 2017

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary James Mattis on Tuesday promised to deliver a new military strategy for Afghanistan to lawmakers by mid-July, a timeline months behind what some members of Congress had anticipated.

Mattis, appearing in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he hoped to be able to brief senators on the new strategy for America’s almost 16-year-old war in the next few weeks.

“We are not winning in Afghanistan,” Mattis he told lawmakers. “We will correct that.”

Dear General Mattis:

Please find my submission for "a new strategy" for Afghanistan:
1. Invade the country.
2. Depose all leaders in all governmental positions
3. Install a military government, commanded by Americans
4. Write a new Constitution for the country, outlawing islam and banning sharia
5. Knock down all the mosques and madrassas
6. Round up and imprison all the mullahs
7. Issue a proclamation that all the citizens of the country are now converted to Christianity
8. Begin Christian instruction in the schools.

I'll bet this works better than -your- "strategy"...  ;)
