Meanwhile, The Taliban Are Right

From the San Fran Chronicle: The Taliban Wednesday likened the planned withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan to America's pullout from Vietnam, calling it a "declare victory and run" strategy.
A statement from the militant group said the ongoing transfer of security operations from U.S. troops to Afghan forces was merely a retreat similar to the American withdrawal from South Vietnam prior to the communist victory there in 1975.
American-led NATO troops are scheduled to pull out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014, although the U.S. will leave a residual force behind and other NATO countries have pledged continuing support of the Kabul government.
"They want to flee from Afghanistan just as they turned tail and ran from Vietnam," the Taliban statement said. "When America faced utter destruction in Vietnam, they came up with the formula 'declare victory and run' and want to utilize the formula of 'transfer security and run' here in Afghanistan."
The United States withdrew is combat troops from South Vietnam in 1973, leaving South Vietnamese forces to face the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong who marched into the capital, Saigon, two years later.

While the United States initially accomplished their goal of getting rid of the Taliban from Afghanistan and President Obama, when he started his presidency, now Obama, through his policies is doing almost exactly what happened at the end of the Vietnam War.
And the Taliban is just waiting out the United States and will move their followers in and more than likely take over Afghanistan again, putting the U.S. at risk for another terrorist attack.
More foolishness from Obama, a guy who has no clue about world politics, but supports Muslims and Muslim terrorists.
