We've spent how many millions, or if you're from the US, 'billions' ACTUALLY trying to help these people for more than a decade. And it goes beyond 'military' aid. The US and other countries have spent billions upgrading their infrastructure and legitimately trying to help their country.
And what have they done?
From a recent Michael Yon dispatch. He is someone that has actually BEEN over there, unlike the rest of us ignorant, stupid, rednecks who obviously don't understand anything.
Quote:
The recent Koran-burning in Afghanistan has again inspired lunacy and murder. And while the US civilian and military leadership burdened by their oleaginous apologies tumbles down a moral stairwell, Afghan security forces continue to murder American and Coalition troops. Insider violence persists at an increasing rate. Approximately 200 Coalition members have been killed or wounded in nearly fifty documented “green on blue” attacks.
Noticeably absent from the airwaves is a definitive apology from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and a vow to fight this treachery committed by his troops. Instead, we are likely to hear Karzai whining about night raids that his own troops help conduct every night.
We should immediately cut off all aid to Afghanistan until we hear a public apology from Karzai, and a denouncement from Karzai of Coalition murders by Afghan troops. We should end all unnecessarily joint operations, training, and support of Afghan forces until we have public assurances from Karzai that the Afghan government strongly condemns the increasing murders of Coalition members. Armed Afghans should not be allowed onto US aircraft. Our people do missions every night with armed Afghans on our helicopters. It would be nothing to take down a CH-47 from the inside.
It is time that we redeploy our main battle force home and disentangle ourselves from AfPak.

He has been talking a while now that its time to bring the troops home. I agree, because like I said, they get so pissed off over a Koran burning, but nothing is mentioned when the Taliban straps a suicide bomb onto a mentally ######ed child, and sends him into a busy market place where they remotely detonate the bomb, killing the child and a dozen other 'innocent' people.
Because of that I have stopped caring.
