More on Retreat

As the Afghan situation deteriorates as it must as American troops start to withdraw, no American ally is about to step up and fill the breach. Our NATO allies had to be virtually dragged into kicking in small contingents often reserved for training or policing and held out of major combat and only given grudgingly as America provided massive troop numbers and firepower. As the US is pulling out, do not delude yourself into thinking any allied nation will step in and do not expect much more cooperation from those Afghans themselves who have in the past bravely made common cause with the Western forces there. How can natives working with us now continue knowing that we will likely be evacuating in the near future, which will leave those who are seen as collaborating with infidels to the not so tender mercies of the Taliban? Barack Hussein Obama is now cutting the heart out of a concerted effort to actually win against the forces of darkness, deciding instead to leave the Afghans who have stood with us in a rapidly fading light.
