Who knew it would be this easy! Afghan for the Win!
If I understand rightly, after 16 years of an unwinable US WAR and all the other shit that has been going on in Afghan since the Great Game of the Brits over a century ago, we now know what to do and that's not getting out.
I just heard the illustrious ex-General Jack Keane, revered by all parties, that the addition of 4,000 troops will finally show the Taliban that we are serious and they will rethink their position.
Hoo Rah!
I also understand that the Donald intends to tweet mean things at the Pakistanis to get them to finally stop supporting the Taliban.
This is winning people.
Enjoy.
PS y'a see we and others had over 150k troops in country. Somehow that didn't convince the Taliban to sit down and STFU. But 4k? Someone else had a plan. Winning!

Thank you, General Haig.
Keane! Sorry, Keane.
I got confused, since he uses the exact same plans...

I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
You are the first!
In all my experience here and there, no one. no one, has ever brought forth a Blackadder vid.
I am humbled and genuflect in your general direction.

Ok, I'm totally high right now...
So honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or nice.
If nice: Thanks, but I actually use this one fairly frequently... Guess I've held back for a while.
If Sarcastic: Yeah, a little common among the folks I hang with online, as far as the jokes go, but I find Rowan Atkinson to be a great depth and breadth of humor.
Either way, I will take the compliment with gratitude, and the sarcasm with good humour.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
Nice

That must have been you who addicted me to BlackAdder? You fiend!
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Dang good for PUI (Posting Under the Influence)
Seemed like time for another internet acronym.
We stayed recently in a house owned by a relative
of Field Marshal Earl Roberts.
Just about the only person who went into Afghanistan... and went out very quickly, 'job done' (according to Empire rules).

It's Déjà Vu All Over Again
A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
Here's a thought:
Let's petition the government to televise the human slaughter live so the American people can make sure they are getting their money's worth.
That would do more to end this bullshit war than anything else I can think of.

The guy is an idiot. As I have mentioned before. This "speech" shudder been delivered from the Oval Office
But no. It has to be a campaign rally in front of the poor fools about to become fodder.
He entered to hail to the chief.
It's been nice knowing you all. I am know driving into a bridge abutment.

He's fucking insane, I said it last year well before
he was elected. Tonight just proved it again. You have to be insane to go in front of the world and lie like he did tonight. Absolutely.
But in the end, it was no different than Obama or Bush except even more ridiculous considering it's been sixteen years.
Hopefully people will end the deep state got to Trump bullshit now. He was always got.
Deep state
Yeah, I'm really getting worn out on this idea that pols are somehow untouched until Deep State "gets" to them. I certainly think the MIC exists and the country is more or less run by the rich, but you just don't reach that level without already being down with the plan. They don't need to get to them that are already got.
Idolizing a politician is like believing the stripper really likes you.
This is what Hillary's BFF had to say about the troops
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Maybe we should take the Chicago approach
then again probably not....I cry for my
hometown and hope Mayor Rahm rots in hell.

He said the same shit all the rest of the presidents
since the war was started have said. Same as all the generals. Same as presidential advisors. Same as we have been hearing for 16 years from everybody.
Did anybody here think he would do something different when there is oil, gas, opium, and pipelines to control?
Anybody?

@EdMass You are right.
You are right.
I forgot minerals.
Thanks, Edmass.

Same war
Different idiot.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Same war, same sheeple allowing it to go on.
Maybe that's the bigger story at this point.
Oh, good. Another "surge" in the Middle East.
They always work so well.
When will we learn we don't do well or do good in this kind of war--er, I mean, winning hearts and minds.
??4,000 troops??? Screw that. Just send
Jared.
I thought peace in the Middle East was his job?

I'm going to be totally pissed if the reason I never find any cute male Russian spies hiding under my bed is because they're all clustered under Hillary's...
