China begins stripping of rare earth materials from Afghanistan in 2014.

But but they belong to US!

That is a legitimate point. Communism and Islam both treat individuals as disposable…would be interesting to see which one was victorious. Islam is barbaric and stupid, but they’re not pushovers by any means.

In yet another unfortunate history lesson, I have to remind you that the Western world has already tried to pit Communism and Fascism in an attempt to figure which one emerges victorious. What makes you think that Islam will fare any better? For all their oil wealth, there is exactly one barrier between them and going back to banging livestock and eating camel dung, and it’s Western stupidity that we tend to mistake for benevolence.

If they march into Afcrapistan they’ll face the might of jihad. That’s where things could get “interesting”, as their curse goes.

One thing for sure is they won’t be hampered by our strict rules of engagement. And the PRC has tons more of disposable young men to feed into the meat grinder of Afghanistan.

The Chinese will be the first one to win. The reason: They are the first empire that has a great excess of population in conjunction with a could-not-care-less attitude towards MSM and public opinion. You cannot do guerrilla when your enemy’s ROE is “10 yuan per head”.

with those who think telegraphing this move just to look cool in front of Obama’s base is a really dumb, selfish choice by the Commander-in-Chief. Withdraw them, then brag if that’s your thing.

Not even then.. Nothing like bragging about troop presence being sparce to put those that are left there in danger.

At least fifth empire, you clueless rubes. They have been preceded by the Macedonians, the Brits, the Russians, and the Yanks.

D’whooops.

I failed at that bit of history. Thanks for the correction.

China becomes third empire to waste time, blood, and money in Afcrapistan.

Currently China is mining gold and drilling oil in Africa in some pretty violent places. They really don’t care about killing off an entire village to setup ground to mine areas and apparently the UN doesn’t care to notice. Do you really think they’ll care to notice once the US is out of Afghanistan?

In Africa, “violent places” usually means a jumble of barbarians running around with African Credit Cards and RPGs, maybe with some heavier hardware. They’re dangerous, but not at all well organized.

If they march into Afcrapistan they’ll face the might of jihad. That’s where things could get “interesting”, as their curse goes.

Just my 2 cents, seeing as how neither we nor the Russian Communists (who did NOT play nice at all) failed…

If we pull out fully, let’s make sure ALL the press leaves as well. We wouldn’t want to see pictures and videos of the slaughter of all the women teachers and all other educated females that the Taliban will immediately conduct. It’ll upset people to see such.

Yes. We don’t want the folks to see what these people really are. It might make the libbys cry as they figure out a way to blame our troops and Bush.

I would rather we do see all of that so those in the west finally get the obvious notion that we are creating an unreal Peter Pan vision that will never survive in those societies. The dimwits have to face reality at some point and the sooner the better.

Besides watching the reporters get chased across the countryside trying to get out would also be a lot of fun.

Once the D.C. elites decided we were not going to WIN wars, they never should engage in them.

So now O can sit there with his “murder flash cards.” I am just so disgusted.
