    HISTORICALLY = “Alexander the Great” successfully DID conquer Afghanistan, contrary to Doctor Kissinger’s representations on that matter.

    The SOVIETs, however, did not succeed may centuries later.

    The US even clandestinely ARMED local Afghanis against the SOVIETS. Those weapons – e.g. surface to air, shoulder-launched missiles – have and are being used against our forces there.

    Did the President’s military (strategic and tactical) planners look at the reason(s) for ALEXANDER’s successes in years previously — where others have failed more recently?

    As for Greta Van Sustren of Fox News “On the Record”- A carping, lawyer with her limited credentials HAS ABSOLUTELY NO(!) military experience nor credibility on the military arts and science issues – not now, nor ever!

Got something to say?
