[Peace-discuss] Trump in Afghanistan

[Mildred O'brien]

"...It's the only war we've got" sounds like a LBJ quote.  Can't say that nowadays...Besides, the conditions for war on Vietnam were established in the Eisenhower admin (Dulles bros) with partition of the country and promise of elections which never took place.

WSJ: "Trump Says Taliban Peace Talks to Resume During Surprise Afghanistan Visit”

In the early 1960's, some US military would say of Kennedy's attack on South Vietnam, "It's a dirty little war - but it's the only war we've got.”

Today, thanks most recently to Obama - the first US president to be at war throughout two presidential terms - they needn't say that about Afghanistan: he's left seven others to choose from, having attacked Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, the Philippines, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen as well.

But the permanent government (notably Democrat ‘liberals’) insist on removing Trump for fear he'll end the killing in Afghanistan and elsewhere…
