Trump to address nation on Afghanistan policy Monday night


quote:

President Donald Trump will address the country Monday night when he will provide an update on his administration's plans for Afghanistan and South Asia.

The details of what Trump will announce are not clear, but he is expected to approve sending more troops to Afghanistan.


From CIA NN (do not want to given them clicks)

quote:

Earlier Sunday, Mattis confirmed a decision has been made, but declined to offer details about the decision, saying Trump would choose when to make the announcement.

"He wants to be the one to announce it to the American people," Mattis said on Sunday, later adding, "He now needs the weekend to collect his thoughts on how he's going to explain it to the American people."

Promise broken. Shame he gave into the fricking warhawks. There's no endgame in that shithole. Quit wasting lives and money in the middle east. Let em kill each other. Not our problem.

I'll be interested in the words he doesn't say and the alt-left, GOPe, media, and Kuckhammer's hyperbolic reaction to what really is in Trump's mind.

Satellite photos showed some statues in Kabul. WhiskeyPapa/DisplacedBuckeye were offended, so we're going in to take them down.

really disappointed in Trump and understand why Bannon tendered his resignation and said this presidency is over. Very sad.

If McCain supports it, it's usually the wrong thing to do.

Just wait, McCain is going to go all in on support for Trump now. Give him glowing praise, etc.

Because someone who stands to make money from it bought political support.

This one we can blame on Obama.

The moment we popped Bin Laden the transports should have been bringing our troops home.

Sounds like he either going to send a few thousand more or use private military contractors.

Ya, well, that's what happens when the Beltway tards swallow the "nation building" neocon doctrine hook, line, and sinker.

The US military doesn't exist to "build nations." The US military exists to wreck shite.
