1. Gee, now what would they need
with a place like that? I thought it was only the Americans doing the killing over there.

2. It's a trick!
The Americans left behind pop tarts, twinkies etc. When the Taliban start eating that they're goners.

These military types are good about that stuff.

4. Just looking
at the vast array of American weapons slung over the shoulders of these fighters brings back memories of another senseless war waged by America 40 years ago. History again, has sadly repeated itself.

5. ummm i have a question for anybody in the military...
wouldnt it be prudent to destroy bases as you withdrew?


i mean... if i was a military leader, that place would have been burned to the ground as we left.

6. Only if there was an objective to your actions. Do you know the objective in Afghanistan?
I hope nobody expanded this to learn it from me, it must be a secret, I certainly don't see any objective in Afghanistan except that they are a cover for the sneaky war we want to wage in Pakistan
