We need to get out of there. That place will never be civilized unless we police it forever. We've got bigger issues than sending people to die over there. There's no end goal that makes any sense. We're not going to pave Afghanistan and set up Walmarts. The instant we leave, the whole place falls right back into chaos again. There is no "win" to be had there. Afghanistan is like a weird, unconquerable Bermuda Triangle zone or some shit.

And to borrow from the Pres.... if the war is "bigger than one man",.... then why are we still "looking for Bin Laden"? We're never going to ferret out a scattered bunch of dirty Afghani / Saudi hippies. The Taliban isn't going anywhere either. That's why they're called 'fanatics'... they're fanatical. Stick a fork in it, this war is done.

Unless,..... someone steps up and says something like, "Well, there's actually some interests we have there that we need to stick around for....." or something. Just sayin'.
