Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted December 2, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted December 2, 2018 One of the Taliban's most senior commanders has been killed in a US airstrike in Afghanistan. Mullah Abdul Manan Akhund was the Taliban's "governor" and military chief for the southern Helmand province. He was killed in the Nawzad district of Helmand on Saturday night, provincial officials said. The Taliban said his death was a "major loss" but it would not deter them in their efforts to take back control of Afghanistan. But Afghan interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish told the AFP news agency his death was a major blow to the Taliban and would "lower the moral" of its fighters in southern Afghanistan.

Anler Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Why are we still in Afghanistan? We are not "at war" with Afghanistan or the Taliban. The Taliban has never attacked us they are merely d fending their Homeland against a foreign invader. If we leave they are not going to come here to get us. So what is the objective? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is his war, but he isn’t the sole proprietor here. He’s barely shows up as a minority shareholder of that fucking mess... We need to get the hell out. No question about that. Although, let’s not confuse why and how we got to where we are, and that isn’t Trump’s doing. It is his fault if we continue on. Which we will... Ben is right, deep state mess.

If China or Russia tried the west would simply funnel weapons into the valley to destabilize the mess. I’m convinced that this war is now more about stupidity and false national pride than resources or profit.
