quote [ For nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan, U.S. leaders have sounded a constant refrain: We are making progress. They were not, documents show, and they knew it. ]
Nicholas Kristof on Twitter: "@washingtonpost My own realization that we were over our heads in Afghanistan came when I interviewed farmers who pretended to set up Taliban camps that the US would then bomb. The farmers would collect the remnants of millions of dollars worth of bombs and sell them for $100 as scrap metal."

No surprise here. It's always been obvious that no one ever even knew what would actually constitute "winning", let alone how to achieve it. And one thing Democrats and Republicans in government all agree on is that "fighting terror" is a great way to get political support, so let's just keep riding that gravy train to nowhere. It's easy to keep moving the goalpost when no one knows what it is anyway.

“I knew there were no nuclear weapons... the intelligence did not show that that was the case so I knew it was a misrepresentation to the public... In my view, that was not an impeachable offense.” - Nency Pelosi
