The Afghanistan Papers give Trump what he needs to bring the troops home


By Zachary Yost - - Thursday, December 19, 2019


When the Afghanistan Papers were released last week by The Washington Post, we finally got definitive proof of what many of us have known for years: The foreign policy establishment is lying. For nearly two decades, we’ve been told victory in the Afghan war is nigh, but they’ve merely thrown away countless lives and taxpayer dollars in a fruitless forever war.

To his credit, President Trump recognized this reality back in 2012, taking to Twitter (as he’s wont to do) to complain. “Afghanistan is a total disaster. We don’t know what we are doing. They are, in addition to everything else, robbing us blind,” Mr. Trump wrote. Since he took office, he’s continued with that same line.

Of course, even though it seems that he wants to, he hasn’t ended the war.

And there was a rumor we'd withdraw 4,000 troops.. but that hasn't happened.

There is nothing in Afghanistan worth saving.
That includes most of those living there.

Get our guys out.
Let the Afghans solve their own problems.
(they are muslims, and they will never change)
