Jviehe is confused.

We're still playing whack-a-mole in Afghanistan, patting ourselves on the back when we concentrate our efforts in one region, take control, only to find that 5 other regions are back in Taliban control because they don't get beat, they just scramble elsewhere.

It's like the claims that "we beat Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, which is why there are less than 200 of them reportedly there", but in reality they fled to Pakistan where they have a safe haven.

America is stuck thinking like a neo-con still in Afghanistan with this bullshit "we keep turning corners over there" mentality.

Maybe it says something about America's degrading math skills since how many corners do you need to turn before you realize you're actually going in a circle?
