Its one thing to have bizarre end or extreme arguments, or to spin the facts to support your position, but he makes up facts to support his position, and its not even obscure facts that he might get away with, he asserts things happened that everyone with any knowledge knows are wrong. We didn't "exit Afghanistan militarily". Which is why I wondered if he was posting from a parallel universe. It wouldn't be enough to just be an extra terrestrial, because ET or not, in this universe we are still in Afghanistan.

If we attacked Pakistan in full force it would have been more difficult than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Instead of maybe 50 million people combined in both of the countries we did invade, you have over 160 million people. And what would have been the point or justification? Musharraf is no democrat, but he's not the Taliban, or Saddam. He isn't pro-terrorist, or anti-US. He didn't violate a ceasefire formed after a war with the US, and he didn't try to shelter Al Qaeda from the US.
