Bush's war

[trof]

Why is W getting no blame for getting the U.S. into Afghanistan in the first place?
Yeah, it was probably Cheney and Rumsfeld that got him to do it, but it was on his watch.

Biden has put a HUGE "THE BUCK STOPS HERE" on his administration.
Bush, Obama, and Trump kicked this tarbaby down the road.
Biden has the guts to say "Enough is enough".

We learned NO lessons from Viet Nam.
Same-o...same-o.
Support a corrupt/U.S. puppet regime in hopes that we could help them 'win' what was basically a civil war.

Kipling had it right over 100 years ago:
"Now it is not good for the Christian’s health to hustle the Aryan brown,
For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the Christian down;
And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased,
And the epitaph drear: “A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.”

3. And never forget that Rumsfeld let bin Laden walk away from Tora Bora in Dec. 2001 or Jan. 2002 ...

... Dick Cheney could have his war for oil in Iraq. We could have gone in kicked the Taliban out of
power, killed OBL, and gone home as the good guys but once w, Cheny, and Rummy let OBL go we
became like the Russians, the Indians, the Brits, Genghis Khan, and others stuck in a no win war
in Afghanistan.
