- The Afghan Government is corrupt
Over 90% of heroin comes from there
Women still have almost no rights!
The U.S. pulled most of their troops out , about 6 years ago , to put them in Iraq and left our troops to fend for themselves!
Our troops were sent without proper equipment , according to what their wives say.
( Green camoflage for the desert , Vehicles without proper armour underneath , an absence of medivac helicopters or resupply helicopters is just starting to be fixed in 2009 )
The U.N. says that the Taliban can now successfully operate in 70 % of the country.
The people of Afghanistan do not trust most of their police , but respect their own army.
Aid is often stolen by the people in power and sold for their own profit.
After the sacrifice of so many dead soldiers and ten times that number wounded / crippled over the last 7 years , haven't our brave soldiers sacrificed enough to support a corrupt government? WHY continue such a farce? SHAME on both the liberals who put them in their and the Conservatives who want to keep them there!
