...or the old one, anyway.
So the president has had a change of heart. It sounds like about 4,000 troops are going to Afghanistan to supplement the 8,400 we already have there.
The good thing is that the strategy has changed from one of nation building, this was always stupid in Afghanistan, to counter-terror.
Personally I hope they revive the practice of daily enemy body counts.
Look, folks, no one gives a crap about Afghanistan or Afghanistanis. No one. But the simple fact is when we cut and run chaos follows.
Don't believe me? Look what happened when we bailed out of Vietnam, or Somalia, or most recently Iraq. Barry's early withdrawal from Iraq was a disaster. Talk about a paying a penalty.
We also liked the talk about India. We think they're our long term strategic partner. Besides, we live in Chindia.
At some point it comes down to trust, we suppose. Do you trust President Trump?
