"ISIS is beginning to extend its influence into Afghanistan, but the Obama administration no longer is giving the country priority, and the 10,000 American troops that remain are feeling abandoned, a U.S. intelligence officer has told Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin The officer, who is stationed in Afghanistan and has requested anonymity for security reasons, paints a bleak picture in a war zone that is apparently all but forgotten after an investment of more than $1 USD trillion by the U.S. There simply aren't enough active-duty U.S. reservists or National Guard personnel in Afghanistan to complete the mission, he contends.

We should have pulled all troops out of Afghanistan & Iraq the day after we got OBL. |
