Time to Pull Out of Afghanistan: The US Trained Those Killing Our Troops

Efforts in Afghanistan are futile and we are broke. $16 trillion broke!

Read the following paragraph and tell me Afghanistan has been a successful war.


(CBS News) The strategy for getting U.S. forces out of Afghanistan depends on training Afghan soldiers and police to protect the country themselves, but on Monday the U.S. military suspended most joint field operations with Afghan forces because so many Americans are being killed by the men they are training.

Afghan government troops -- our allies -- have turned their guns on NATO forces 36 times this year, killing 51, most of them Americans. That is more attacks than the last two years combined.

Why are we still there? This is a cemetery for all the world's army and US arrogance hasn't changed that. These men didn't need to die.

It's as if we refuse to learn the lessons of the past. When it comes to Afghanistan, I recall the United States CIA training one Osama bin Ladin and his merry men. Look what that led to.
