Re: Bob Woodward book details Obama battles with advisers over exit plan for Afghan w
Weird, in US foreign policy it seems to be "any dumbass can keep killing and dying at the screams of the opiated nationalist masses." I dont know thats how it seems to me. As far as Im concerned, unless you're committing a war and occupation that directly violates the liberal ideals that founded the country we live in, you cant win in places like vietnam or afghanistan. As in, cannot be conquered or tamed sort of ordeal. The smart thing for this planet was to have let the soviets keep it and them put an iron fist up the jihadist rear, the US cant do that and cant get away with the violations of human rights it would take to tame the country.
Any dumbass can sound the retreat.
