Latest Breaking News On - Afghan provincial capital - Page 1 : comparemela.com

we have done to stop this. many people say we can t stay there forever, maybe if we stayed, 5, 10 years, we still would have seen something like this. what would you have done differently? what i would have done is not to do this. we had a minimal troop presence there, maybe 3,500, probably a little low to be really comfortable, but when i was there we had 100,000. so down to 3,500 and, guess what? the taliban still did not hold a single afghan provincial capital. so the status quo was working okay. not perfect, but we could rock along with it. remember why we were there in the first place, because of 9/11. who brought us 9/11? al qaeda under taliban cover in afghanistan. so it is a direct threat to our national security to watch the taliban forward. they will bring al qaeda with them, and we re going to be back to the status quo after 9/11.
