    I think both parties can agree walking away from Afghanistan should have happened long ago.

    Matt Taibbi: McConnell getting so many Dems to vote for the resolution rebuking Trump's announced pullouts from Syria and Afghanistan could damage the Dems and help Trump in 2020.

    Some time ago, Iraq was where
    We looked for stuff that wasn’t there
    We haven’t found it to this day,
    And yet we feel obliged to stay.

    Trump making peace with a vengeance in Afghanistan:

    From Jan. 1 through October, U.S.-led forces have used 6,208 missiles and bombs in Afghanistan. That compares with 5,982 for the same period in 2018, which saw the most airstrikes of any year since the Taliban was toppled in 2001.

    AT WAR WITH THE TRUTH

    U.S. officials constantly said they were making progress.

    They were not, and they knew it,


    A confidential trove of government do ents obtained by The Washington Post reveals that

    senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign,

    making rosy pronouncements they knew to be false and

    hiding unmistakable evidence the war had become unwinnable.

    U.S. spent $9 billion failing to wipe out Afghan opium

    Afghanistan is far and away the world’s largest opium producer and

    has been for the entire period since the US invaded and occupied the country in late 2001.

    Afghan farmers were cultivating about 60,700 hectares of opium poppies in the late 1990s,

    but around 121,400 hectares a year in the mid-2000s.

    As the US occupation dragged on,

    opium cultivation generally climbed throughout the 2010s,

    peaking at more than 323,700 hectares in 2017.

    That equates to about 9 tons of raw opium produced that year,
