[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5746422, member: 24302"] We most certainly did have operational security in Afghanistan. By about 2007. Most of the Taliban had fled to Pakistan. The Afghanistan/Pakistan border isn't like our southern border. There's only narrow corridors through a few passes because of the mountains. One in particular has a highway. The Taliban started coming back through that pass. That wasn't on donkeys and camels. Caravans of trucks. The U.S. knew they were coming in. And let them. This was reported a few years ago by Lara Logan. Highly respected journalist who used to be on "60 Minutes." Then she started saying this stuff outloud. She had spent years in Afghanistan and had cultivated relationships with the most powerful people in the country. That's how she learned what was going on. There absolutely was a plan. Perpetual war. Joe Biden deserted $85 billion worth of equipment. How is it that there was $85 billion worth of new equipment in warehouses in Afghanistan? The defense contractors were making tons of money producing this stuff for Iraq and Afghanistan. We would still be in Afghanistan maintaining the status quo if Trump hadn't come in and looked at the expenditures and said it's too much. It's time for the Afghans to stand on their own. This is why he was hated by the generals in the Pentagon. [/QUOTE]
