Afghanistan: A Tragically Stupid War Comes to a Tragic End: Ron Paul

Via Reborn

Sunday’s news reports that the Biden Administration mistakenly killed nine members of one Afghan family, including six children, in “retaliation” for last week’s suicide attack which killed 13 US servicemembers, is a sad and sick epitaph on the 20 year Afghanistan war.

Promising to “get tough” on ISIS, which suddenly re-emerged to take responsibility for the suicide attack, the most expensive military and intelligence apparatus on earth appears to have gotten it wrong. Again.

Interventionists love to pretend they care about girls and women in Afghanistan, but it is in reality a desperate attempt to continue the 20-year US occupation. If we leave, they say, girls and women will be discriminated against by the Taliban.

  1. Yeah, Ron, we should have simply laughed off 9/11 and the over 2,800 Americans who died.

    When the country is turned into a hotbed of Muslim extremism and new attacks are launched, we should simply laugh them off, too. Right, Ron?

  2. We stormed the wrong country in retaliation for 9/11 but that
    country had nothing to steal.
    How long does it take to paint a mural on a van?
