The reason we didn't "win" in Afghanistan was because the PTB didn't want to win. They were there for the resources. They got the resourcss. They got the locals to farm and produce the resources, and they got the American taxpayers to pay the Afghans for them. Oil, Opium, probably children for trafficking, who knows what else. It was a C_A resource smorgasboard.

We haven't been at war with Afghanistan since probably after the first year or two. We have been farming them ever since.
