Looks familiar to a lot of folks...only this one was even more poorly planned.

It was always going to be a sh!t show. We either prop up Afghanistan for near perpetuity or we cut bait. We just can't solve the world's problems on our own and we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking we can.
This is in contrast to places like Israel and what I believe the Kurds could have become. Those we can support financially and with light military support because their underlying populace and government were stable and had the will to exist. That just isn't true of the current Afghan government and I don't know if any amount of time where we stayed there would change that.
In the future for Afghanistan if terrorist actions originate from there we do what we should have done in the first place. Exerted just enough military pressure so they regret it and leave with the message, "don't make us come back."

CW4 Guy Butler thank you for the evidence chief! Many people did forget about this part. And since the completion date was outside his term limits, the fruition of the project would have to be the responsibility of the new president.
