Fact Check: The Truth about Afghanistan [UPDATED]



(To skip right to the video, click here: VIDEO - TALIBAN SONG PARODY)

Some reminders about Afghanistan:  

Afghanistan was Obama's War, not Bush's.  Obama's and Biden's.  And together they own this disaster of a pull-out.  

Remember:  75% of US combat casualties were under Obama/Biden, not George W Bush!  

Sure, Bush went into Afghanistan first, but he had no choice; we'd been attacked.  By the time Bush handed it over to Obama, we had achieved our goals and Bush was winding things down.  

So Obama had a choice: continue the pullout and declare victory, or re-escalate the war and take a stab at nation building.  On the assumption that Afghanistan was the "good" war as opposed to Iraq, and the mistaken belief that Osama bin Laden was still there, he made the tragic decision to re-escalate the war.  At the same time,  he tied the hands of U.S. troops with impossible rules of engagement.  The result was a massive increase in Taliban attacks and U.S. casualties. 

Then Obama released the top Taliban commanders in exchange for a traitor named Bowe Bergdahl.  Remember that?

That's the fuster cluck Donald Trump inherited.  Under Trump, the war was again de-escalated, rules of engagement returned to normalcy, and combat deaths were slashed to the point there were none in his last year.  In effect the "war" was no more a war than our continued presence in Japan or Germany.  Meanwhile, the Taliban were not in charge, and Afghanistan was continuing on a path to some semblance of human rights normalcy. Near the end of his term, Trump negotiated a conditional plan to remove all troops which was in place when Biden came into office.  

Now Biden had a choice: continue the conditional plan to remove all troops, re-escalate the war, or just pull out at a date certain with no conditions.  Biden chose the latter.  He pulled out with NO condidtions.  Just stripped them right out.  Next he executed a hasty, incompetent, unconditional retreat.  The inevitable result is the Taliban are in control of the entire country and armed to the teeth with $90 billion of the finest U.S. military weapons and vehicles.  Heck-of-a-job, Joe! 

A more complete humiliation could not be possible.

Here is a video I made in 2014 right after Obama released the top Taliban commanders in exchange for Bowe Bergdahl.  These are the leaders who marched into Kabul this weekend.

[UPDATE]  4 of the 5 Gitmo prisoners Obama freed for Bowe Bergdahl are now Taliban Govt Commanders! (unexpectedly)

Kinetic Islam Déjà vu



In March of 2001, Mullah Omar and the Taliban destroyed two 1700 year-old stone Buddahs in Afghanistan.  One of them stood 165 feet tall.  At the time, few westerners understood that act.  Six months later when the twin towers of The World Trade Center were destroyed, we all got an education in how kinetic Islam feels about infidel idols and symbols. 

Fast forward to today, and the exact same thing is happening in Iraq.  Islamic State, or ISIS, or ISIL, is summarily destroying ancient churches, statues, artwork, and symbols of the infidels.  This time we have some perspective on why this behavior is occurring – Islam, or at least a fundamental interpretation of Islam, leads its followers to destroy these symbols.  Turns out the Quran, like the Old and New Testaments, contains a fair amount of idol destruction.  The difference is, Christians and Jews do not go about re-enacting these verses from the early days of monotheism.  Muslims do, particularly the kinetic radical fundamental type. 

What scares me is the timing of all this.  Six months after the Buddahs came down, we got 9/11.  I hope kinetic Islam has a different schedule this time.

Myth: Hey, this prisoner swap is the same thing Israel does!


One of the lies Obama likes to invoke is, "Hey, I'm not doing anything unusual here; everyone does it!"  Thus, when the Bergdahl fiasco blew-up in his face he invoked history saying, "Hey, this is what happens at the end of wars!"  Which of course is interesting because he skipped the signing of the treaty.  As far as I know there is still a violent jihad being waged against us by the very people Obama just released.  That makes this different from any such prisoner exchange in history.

Another lie we hear is, "Hey, the Israelis do this all the time, and they really know how to fight terrorists!"  What we have done has no relationship to what the Israelis do.  If you want some insight into what the Israelis are up to when they release prisoners, watch the movie "The Green Prince".  The eponymous prince in the movie is Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hassan Yousef, one of the founders of Hamas. (The flag of Hamas is green, hence "Green Prince".)  Mosab Hassan Yousef was imprisoned by Israel for terrorist activity, but subsequently was released after being secretly flipped by a sophisticated and successful effort to infiltrate Hamas.  Israel knows what they are doing.  They are playing a long game in an endless struggle for survival.  


One may speculate that perhaps we have a similar program and one of these five Taliban generals has been flipped.  Really?  Does anyone reading this believe Barack Obama knows what he is doing and is operating a successful operation to flip Gitmo detainees and infiltrate the Taliban?  Remember, this president has taken virtually no prisoners and sought no new intelligence since taking office.
