You have no idea what you are talking about. We went in Afghanistan because the Taliban had taken it over and was using it to train terrorists and were harboring those who took part in 911 and were protecting them. It becomes difficult to leave because we do not want to leave a void for terrorists to come back and do it all over again. Not sure why that needs explaining.

Did you call members of this board murderers?
They are not to be trusted. They betray us all the time. You would have us abandon Kabul and leave those people to be killed by the Taliban.
With all due respect. You don’t know what you are talking about.
No, it doesn't. Taliban refers to the former theocratic government of Afganistan and its forces.
Definition of Taliban in English:

From Persian ṭālibān, plural of ṭālib ‘student, seeker of knowledge’, from Arabic (so named because the movement reputedly began amongst Afghani students exiled in Pakistan).

PROPER NOUN
- A fundamentalist Muslim movement whose militia took control of much of Afghanistan from early 1995, and in 1996 took Kabul and set up an Islamic state. The Taliban were overthrown by US-led forces and Afghan groups in 2001 following the events of September 11.

Yes. My point is that 100% of the population is Muslim. 100% of the population hates America (but, some of them do hate the Taliban more). The Taliban (which last I heard controls about 20% of the country) has the entire population to recruit from. You can't get rid of the Taliban without wiping out the whole population. The US-backed government controls something over half the country, but it's US-backed. It exists because of US money and strength, not because of natural affinity any Afghani people might have for it. 100% of the population, including the people in the government, hates that it's US-backed. How would you feel about an Iran-backed government in the US (assuming they had the strength to impose themselves)?
We're going on two decades of occupation with zero progress. What's the definition of insanity?
The Taliban didn't attack us on 9/11. Osama bin Laden, a Saudi with mostly other Saudi's did, no Afghani's. They trained in American flight schools. Osama bin Laden did have operations in Afghanistan, but I've never seen evidence he had the blessing of the Taliban.
We have interpretation people who aren’t Afghani
Sham, as House needs 218 to vote for it, no where near that total, and Senate must force Him out, and no way that happens!
So they are good people, not terrorists? Please!
The Taliban government got into the American crosshairs because it wouldn't extradite bin Laden.
They offered to extradite Osama bin Laden. But, president Bush chose war over cooperation.
You are seriously disturbed.
Prove your statement.
Proof? Evidence?
Hmm, it seems the hysterics have settled down a bit.
Democrats are concerned that an impeachment role call will reveal their vote.
This dilemma has suddenly become very interesting again.
I think the Sheriff of Nottingham is going to be FIRED!
He brought a man to trial but he has no tangible evidence of a crime. In reality - Only hearsay evidence.

Yes, what is your proof. Because, that's not how I remember the situation.
I'm always amused by people who demand proof of things but won't change their minds even if they get that proof. Just the first article to pop up on Google.
Boy did you misrepresent that article. Did you even read it or did you just see the title and said ahaa I found what I wanted?

If that is your idea of "proof" you are delusional.
