President Barack Hussein Obama had a press conference yesterday at the White House with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai. There were no military personnel present, just the fawning press.
Obama was anxious to announce our drawdown of troops to 10,000 this year, maybe down to zero next year. Hamid Karzai is anxious for American troops to be gone, “so the tourists can return.” LOL.
The Administration and Karzai had been negotiating the terms of our withdrawal for months. Just as with Iraq, the sticking point was whether or not our troops would be subject to Afghan laws. Karzai insisted, Obama refused; and so now we are leaving Afghanistan.
The sticking point was the right of our homosexual troops to serve openly. Homosexuality and even cross dressing are serious crimes in Afghanistan, especially in rural areas. Penalties start at jail time and can include the death penalty.
The same situation happened when Obama negotiated our withdrawal from Iraq. They wanted our troops to obey their own laws. Obama didn’t. So we pulled out, everything. Now Iraq is a close ally of Iran in supporting the Syrian government, the new Axis of Evil in the region. The nascent beginning of a new Muslim Caliphate.
Obama pulled of Iraq just to please 0.25% of the U.S. population (that’s one quarter of one percent) who are homosexual. Now he has done the same thing in Afghanistan. Whatever bad happens in Iraq and Afghanistan from now on is on the conscience of the gay community.
Ironically, according to Wikipedia, there is a thriving trade of young boys who are kidnapped to service members of the Afghan militia. This part Obama approved of, no doubt. This is just the kind of foothold the liberal culture warriors look for in their efforts to obliterate other cultures.
Be that as it may, the war in Afghanistan has cost $1.2 trillion. Over 2000 soldiers and 13,000 civilians have been killed and almost 18,000 soldiers wounded. The healthcare and benefits for the soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost another $1 trillion over the next 40 years.
