   WTH, What @XenaLee ?
   We just had a thread locked due to the snipping, I was just pleading for a little civility, seems a lot of anger out there and it's not the eclipse cause it's been going on for a couple of days.

I don't fault us going into Iraq back in '03; I do think that has been mismanaged some and I don't care for Assad because he let Jihadists go through his territory.

As for Afghanistan, it is interesting that the Fox guess just now on Tucker said Afghanistan is on Russia and Iran's flanks. Those two countries actually have to deal with trouble coming out of the Sunni-dominated nation of Afghanistan. I assume he was former military and he was saying we should get out.

So, we are sending 4,000 more soldiers over is what I've heard.

That is what they are saying.....4k more can do what 100k couldn't do!

   Pakistan is the key, if he gives more than platitudes on this, it's a step in the right direction.

"We are not nation-building" is an interesting way to sell nation-building.

Trump's tough talk on Pakistan's double-dealing is honest and refreshing. Euphemism on this is counterproductive.

Terrorism is one thing, but what about massive collateral damage? Killing civilians creates more terrorism. Round and round we go.

Finally moving away from Pakistan and embracing India.  We have been too dependent on Pakistan over the decades. Then Pakistan stabs us in the back by harboring terrorists.
