    Head of the most prestigious foreign affairs think thank in the US explicitly calls for "open-ended" (i.e. permanent) occupation of Afghanistan, and then they wonder why the elite policy-making class has lost all credibilityhttps://twitter.com/RichardHaass/status/1084821527470706688 …

    Neither winning the war nor negotiating a lasting peace is a real option in Afghanistan. Just leaving, though, as we are about to do in Syria, would be a mistake. What we need is an open-ended, affordable strategy for not losing. My latest from @ProSyn https://bit.ly/2AKauwu

        They want the poppy fields. Period. Any idea how much they’ve made over the past 14 years off the books? Makes you wonder if the wall is just a plot to make it more difficult for Mexican heroin to enter the USA. 😎 #NotFreeMarkets #PoppiesNotPeace

        If the reasoning was objective was actually made clear, people might not be so averse to the idea, but as it stands, the average citizen is not let in on the end goal, objective, strat, or even the general principle at play with such decisions. Hard to approve of mystery box.
