AFGHANISTAN IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART - OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS - FROM THE DAYS OF THE SILK ROUTE - ALEXANDER THE GREAT - AND MORE - AFGHANS HAVE HELD THEIR HEAD HIGH - AND VALUED THEIR FREEDOM.

There is light, they say at the end of the tunnel - there is only so much inspection we can do - the time has come to inspect our intentions. When will we look at humanity - in another light that matters. 

Never give up on Afghanistan - more because of some sordid colonial intrusion that paid no dividends at all. 

The rise and fall of the Mujahadeen - with remnants like the Al-Queda trying to make some noise - Isis-K acting turbulent - this is just a passing storm.

The Taliban were embraced by Donald Trump, who sold out America.

DT is not an American; he is a traitor.

The - January 6, 2021, plot and invasion on Capitol Hill - is on his head, and he has blood on his hands. 

Traitors have no place anywhere - including America - and traitors must be dealt with the most vigorous measures.

Yesterday - October 7, 2021 - twenty years ago, the United States went to wipe out the terrorists in Afghanistan - with no real plan or blueprint - how best to address the underlying ailments - that befell Afghanistan.

Earlier the Soviets played hell with Afghanistan - and our intelligence aided and abetted the Mujahadeen - we gave them shoulder-held missiles - and more.

When 9/11 happened - we really should have gone to Saudi Arabia, but George Bush chose to invade Afghanistan. 

Before that, I doubt he knew anything worthwhile about Afghanistan.

For sure, he learned too much about Saudi Arabia more from his father, who was President of the United States  - but more head of the CIA.

Again and again, the United States has failed to make a deep needs assessment - we went to Iraq and failed, we went to Libya and failed - need I say more about Afghanistan. We must learn from our mistakes - keep the politicians out - they talk too much and have wasted trillions of dollars - and today cannot even address the pressing budget issues - arguing and pandering - while the taxpayers suffer - right here at home.

There will be bloodshed in Afghanistan soon - the Taliban cannot govern, and no nation worth the salt is ready to sit down with folks who know little about diplomacy and nothing much about handling.

 

Afghanistan today is suffering from food security. It has a serious issue that must be addressed  - severe drought - that profoundly affects the thousands who are farmers - those that live in the countryside.

The 40 million population that Afghanistan must care for - are confused - how could the United States possibly create a situation - where those who worked and helped the United States - are now left for the Taliban to prey upon?

How could the United States - put so many young girls, women, and those vulnerable in harm's way with intent? 

Has President Joe Biden lost his mind - failing to have an exit plan - that the military had in mind - that President Joe Biden cast aside.

President Joe Biden insisted on his extended withdrawal plan  - extended from May 2021 to August 31, 2021 - to leave Afghanistan - a day that will be etched in the minds of decent human beings - where the United States failed humanity.

Today many crimes against humanity are committed - all linked to President Joe Biden, Vice-President Kamala Harris and his minions - the worse among them Anthony Blinken - Secretary - United States State Department.

I remember  Antony from his devious deeds linked to the Libya debacle and more.

Afghan girls and women over the 20 years - were allowed to learn - most completed high school, others went to college and universities. So many women sacrificed to shine and contribute to Afghanistan - today they are at home - fear to get out of their homes - and many are targeted, whipped, beaten, and killed. Who has blood on their hands?

Thousands of infants, children, young girls, and women - Afghan elders, those with comprised health, more the physically and mentally challenged - are left to fend for themselves.

Let us not fail to keep our promise. It is time - long past - that we have a task force to address food security, the surge of  Covid-19 pandemic in Afghanistan.

Added crimes against humanity - banks, stores, other facilities closed or operated on a limited basis. One may have money in the bank - but access to cash is minuscule - the United States knows about the above issues and even deeper issues - but has chosen to kick the can down the street.

Just like General MacArthur  - I know many Generals that address some of the pressing issues on a War Footing - right now, we have access to Afghanistan.

The Generals and experts that they have at their back and call  -  can work with some of our allies - North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) - the Qataris, the nearby Middle-Eastern allies - the United States and NATO, the British, the Australians, Canadian, Norway, France, Germany - have vested interests in Afghanistan.

The Taliban would be foolish not to work with a plan that betters the people - and we could keep Isis-K and others at bay - with the military strategy that has a Chain of Command - that has been vetted and works. Time is running out.

President Joe Biden failed miserably with his immature actions leading to the mess he left in Afghanistan - he must fix the situation at hand - the mess he created - now.

We still have flights leaving Kabul airport - the process is cumbersome and those who want to evacuate go through hell - there are Americans still putting in long hours, making many sacrifices, doing God's work.

I have good friends who have to be creative to bring out the Afghans. Daily they strive and prove to the world - that when the government fails - we the people can prevail.

Most of these Afghans have their documents - access to the airport is torture and many can fall into the hands of the Taliban and be put in harm's way. 

All records are checked by the Taliban - who are in charge right now.

Many Afghans are here - and given some designation - Humanitarian Refugees - we need to address this situation - have one category - that is in sync with the benefits associated with the Green Card. 

The Green Card allows one to enjoy health benefits, sound education, makes it easy for all immigrants to contribute their best to society.

We must be humane and not add more stress - toxic stress - to those that have suffered so much.

Our beloved sisters and brother - Afghans - that we Americans have adhered to.

Thousands of Veterans, Nongovernmental Agencies, NATO, and so many are now doing what they can do - in this emergency situation - having empathy and compassion. Aho.
