THE U.S-. STILL KILLING IN AFGHANISTAN AND CAUSING TURMOIL WORLDWIDE.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

All the BILLIONS of dollars the U.S. has dumped into Afghanistan to train an Afghan military was squandered and a waste to the American taxpayers.

The Taliban overran  Kunduz,a city of about 300,000 people. The Afghan military, as on previous occasions dropped their weapons and fled. Others decided to side with the Taliban and joined their ranks. Cowards? You bet. We have seen this occur over and over again. Afghan's that take our money to be trained and fight for their own country but deserts from the battlefield. Currently, the same this is happening in the Syrian conflict.

The officials Afghanistan then requested AGAIN, that the U.S. come to their rescue.They asked  for U.S. military airstrikes on Kunduz. And as before, the U.S.obliged and ordered airstrikes to try to retake the city because the Afghan soldiers are reluctant to fight..

Now, a few days after the initial U.S. airstrikes, the U.S. conducted more aerial strikes but this time  our warplanes hit a hospital.instead of Taliban fighters.The U.S. airstrike killed over 20 people - at least 12 medical staff members and seven intensive -  care patients,which included THREE children and 37 were injured. What a tragedy. The  facility was hit repeatedly over more than an hours time. You would wonder where the discipline is, especially when U.S. and Afghan military officials  were notified with  GPS coordinates of the medical facility, numerous times over the last month , including just four days earlier. Dozens of staff may still be unaccounted for, still missing. The response by the U.S. military was this; Col Brian  Tribus said "The air strike may have resulted in  collateral damage ." He went on to say: " This incident is under investigation.

Personally, I would submit that this air attack appears to be a direct violation of the international humanitarian law. War Crimes? I would say there is a strong possibility this may be the case.
But I suspect since the United States refuses to answer to international courts and tribunal's for possible war crimes violations or atrocities which they may have committed, any self investigation by the United States will be an exercise in futility.

Question to the world: "Why is the United States EXEMPT from any charges of war crimes and atrocities that are alleged by other nations while the U.S. sits high atop an ivory tower and does accuse other individuals and military personnel from other country's of committing some of the same acts as U.S personnel and military and  declare them  "war crimes?" It is not secret that other nations are not happy with this arrangement but through the decades the United States refuses to comply and abide by the  same rules and standards they impose on the rest of the world. That's WRONG! I would offer that the United States should be held accountable for their bad acts like any other nation around the world. Like the saying goes: "What's good for the goose is also good for the gander."

If the U.S. military refused to send and conduct airstrikes on the city of Kunduz this tragic incident would not have occurred.  If the U.S. would have insisted that the Afghan military and their foot soldiers on the ground use the weapons and equipment that was supplied them by the United States and stand up and fight for their city, this tragedy could have been avoided.

Folks, this is now Obama's FOURTEEN (14) YEAR mission of folly in Afghanistan. We're still there propping up and fighting the Afghan people's war for them.The Taliban's still there and we, the U.S.are still dumping billions of dollars into this quagmire. It's the same old story,we train other nations military to fight, we give them the money, weapons and equipment but the countries leaders continue to ask us to stay and fight their wars for them. When is enough, enough., people?

As a side note, if you think Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan was bad just watch what this administration and our lawmakers will do in Syria. Instead of allowing 25,000 Kurd fighters that stepped up and said they really want to fight the ISIS scourge to the end I predict the U.S. in all of their stupid wisdom will ignore the Kurd's request and stubbornly continue to giver billions of dollars, weapons and equipment to questionable rebel groups which will in turn trash Syria and fan the flames of havoc and destruction upon the Middle East, setting it ablaze.  My suggestion to our Washington lawmakers -DON'T BE STUPID,  give the weapons,military equipment and aid to the Kurd's and let them do the job they are chomping at the bit to do, Kill ISIS. They clearly want to do it and are ready to go - - at least 25,000 strong.

Another prediction - the U.S., as always, will continue to stick their nose into other countries business and internal affairs and then rationalize their military actions as bringing democracy to the region. What a joke.

I also offer the scenario that if we, the U.S. never preempted an attack on Iraq we would not have ISIS and other terror groups at our doorstep and  battling it out around the world today. If you think back before the invasion of Iraq, countries like Libya, and Afghanistan were doing just fine with their existing leaders. These countries had their own way of life, custom and culture.The world was humming along. The people in those country's were living their lives and we here in  America, living ours. If the people in places like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Panama, had differences with their regime leaders they fought it out among themselves. The disruption(s) only affected their country, their people, on their soil . That is the way people from these countries wanted it. They  DID NOT want our interference and intrusion into their country's, nor did they ask us to settle their differences.They fought among themselves UNTIL leaders in the West like Bush and Obama, playing God, decided who was and was not capable of running their.country's and with misinformation, false information , a political agenda  and outright LIES deemed and declared that these countries leader were not friends of the U.S. any longer and decided to use military force to overthrow the regimes. Thus, turning the world, especially the Middle East into an inferno.

I truly believe the world is much worse off than it was  before  the United States attacked Iraq. I believe that the entire Middle East region would be more stable and content if  Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi were still in power, leading their people. Even after the Iraq attack the people in the Middle East told the United States and it's allies that they did not want us on their soil. They said they wanted to run their own countries without U.S. influence but our leaders wouldn't listen and kept throwing our tax money and our military into the corrupt cesspools  run by different factions. The result -now these countries want us to fight their wars for them, feed them, take care of them into perpetuity.- And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
