        So pouring more money and lives into a desert hellhole is what counts as "not losing?"

        The war in Afghanistan was lost a long time ago.

        If not losing is the objective then we need to think like the locals - i.e. In Generations not presidential or parliamentary terms

        Another example of Trump contradicting himself. Further proof his followers are willfully ignorant at this point.

        Curious about the repeated use of the term "strategy" to describe 4,000 more troops. Also curious about Republican glee. Is it just relief?

        An unknown number of troops for an unknown time at an unknown cost is what people cheer as strategy these days.

        If Rambo III taught me anything, it's that you can't "win" a war in Afghanistan.

        It would be a complete shock if you actually wrote something positive about the president. I won't hold my breath. "Trump cures cancer, but"
