Lie to get us out of there?

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan's president on Sunday ordered all U.S. special forces to leave a strategically important eastern province within two weeks because of allegations that Afghans working with them are torturing and abusing other Afghans.

I am not sure I believe it.

So as a fiscal responsible person, do you support wars financed on credit? I guarantee that if W had launched the Second Iraq war and insisted on paying for it with tax rate increases, (you know like they did back in WW2 when we were fiscally responsible) we would never have gone to war...

As AA stated what does that have to do with topic.
But since you brought it up.
Wasnt it Obama that sated he would have our boys home in 6 months.
Wasnt it Obama that actually sent over more troops.
Wasnt it Obama that claimed he would close gitmo.

Now back to topic shall we.
The area in question is an unstable area with many Taliban present.
So the question is is the leader being dishonest in an effort to aid the taliban or is he telling the truth.

 

[The Man]

I thought this would be hot topic...Are the leaders in said area being dishonest to the world to rid us from the area.
{Remember the area has many Taliban present.}
Or are we actually abusing citizens?

Hell...should we drone attack those that falsely accuse us of abuse?..The president of afg...thats a pretty bold statement he has made regarding the US.
Should such leaders be removed?...as such leaders cause harm to social relationships between the east and west...If a POS in in control over there then the war was essentially a waste.

 

[Jackass master]

The Afghans are doing much better than the Iraqis did at policing the area. I think we need to either pull out or keep a large enough force that our guys are not overwhelming if the Taliban mounts a surge. They are all waiting to get back to growing poppies as that is all they know. I highly doubt the Taliban will become very strong right away but over time more will flow in from other areas.

 

[Accountable]

If the host wants us out of his house, we should leave.

 

[The Man]

Yes but is the president of Afg telling a lie...and if so wouldnt that suggest he is aiding the taliban.
If he is telling the truth...doesnt that make the Obama administration just like bush but worse...as the Obama administration swore to end such activity.

 

[Accountable]

Obama is just like Bush. I thought that was already established. :coffee

Worse as he threw Obama under the bus to gain the image of no tolerance of abuse by our military....then it appears as if he is doing the same thing....IMO he should openly address the accusation rather than just let it fade away.
