On the Fall of Afghanistan

On the Fall of Afghanistan

By Michael Moore

Kabul, Saigon. The fall, once again. America loses another war. Our longest war. “We’re #1!!” We spent over $2 trillion. We sacrificed over 2,300 American lives to invade a country where Bin Laden was never, nowhere, to be found. Bush said he had no interest in capturing him

Obama’s team found him in a house just down the road from Pakistan’s “West Point”. Who woulda guessed! WE are the invaders. The Taliban are not invaders — they’re Afghans — it’s their country! They’re religious nuts. We know what that looks like — we have our own!…

What a tragic mess. Defund the military-industrial complex (increase funding for veterans!), defund the NSA, defund Homeland Security. They sent our young troops to their deaths. Shame! 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia! Not Afghanistan, not Iraq, not Iran…

Once again, we have been defeated by an army with no bomber planes, no destroyers, no missiles, no helicopters, no napalm — just a bunch of guys in pickup trucks. We haven’t won an actual war in the defense of this country since WWII.

Today is VJ-Day —Victory Over Japan Day. The day the U.S. lost the Afghanistan War. God bless our troops. May our troops forgive us.  Much condolences and love to all families in the US, Afghanistan, Canada, the UK, the EU, etc. who lost loved ones in this disgustingly sad war
