I find this odd considering we got out of Iraq while innocent people still needed protection.
And with the rush for the exits in Afghanistan, are you telling me no innocents there need protecting?
Aside from our national security interests in winning there, people in Afghanistan most definitely need protecting:
The Taliban have beheaded 17 Afghans for attending a dance party that flouted Islamic extremist rules.
The killings, in a the southern district of Helman, were a reminder of how much power the insurgent group still wields - particularly as international forces draw down and hand areas over to Afghan forces.
The victims were part of a large group that had gathered late last night in the Musa Qala district for a celebration involving music and dancing, said district government chief Neyamatullah Khan. He said the Taliban slaughtered them to show their disapproval of the event.
"Disapproval" doesn't even begin to cover this. Over dancing. Head Loose, indeed.
Barbarians.
The only good jihadi as a dead jihadi, as far as I'm concerned. I sleep well at night, thank you very much. How those who want to make deals with the Taliban can do that is beyond me.
