It's official..we ended the war in Afghanistan. Well, except for..........

11. Yes, when it was a war we called it a war.

There were fronts, campaign, etc., etc.

The problem is that many wars start sort of with a dribble--this wasn't one of them. It started as a war.

Many wars end with a sort of dribbly decay curve. This was one of them. It went all asymptotic years ago--rapid decay curve to a low baseline, where it's been pretty stuck since then.

It was supposed to end like it did for the Russians. That didn't quite happen. Might, still. In which case some people can be happy in saying how horrible it is as they feel good about themselves while viewing scenes of carnage that they blame on the usual suspects. In this case one of the "usual suspects" will have to be Obama, however. A way will be found to exculpate him, I'm sure. He's been absolved of any responsibility for IS in Iraq (which is odd, since it's based in Syria these days, and there's not much of a way to exculpate him for Syria, except to nonsensically say he didn't have a strategy so he couldn't have had a bad strategy).
