Rethink Afghanistan: the rationale for war has evaporated

by Sporkmaster••4

As in my previous posts the group Rethink Afghanistan published this as a response to the reports of Osama’s death.

On May 1st, 2011, we learned that a CIA operation in Pakistan killed Osama bin Laden.

After 10 years of war and the death of Osama bin Laden, it’s time to bring the troops home from Afghanistan. With al-Qaeda driven from the country and Bin Laden now dead, the rationale for war has evaporated. It’s time to stop now.

The swift withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan must begin immediately.

Ok lets get this straight the raid happened in Pakistan, something that Rethink Afghanistan has been very vocal about being against it.

In fact that Rethink Afghanistan was putting out videos that decry that a turning point was about to be reached. So if we had listened to you back then we would not have this moment. So that being said why should we listen to you now?

  2. For the longest time we were told that the Af-Pak war was a waste of time because it “wasn’t accomplishing anything” annd because bin Laden was gone. And if we had listened to their advice, this day would have never come. But it did and…this just proves them right?

  3. I’d say that “turning point” ReThink was talking has definitely been reached….

  4. the world is replete with “turning points”, but really why snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?
