Will the Afghans prosecute Afghans soldiers who killed coalition troops ?

Can the statements made by the Afghans be trusted after all, it's in their interest to make such a statement
Errrrr......No.
Weapons of mass destruction....Iraq
Stopping Afghanistan from being used as a base for Al Qaeda was and is the mission.
Even Obama ended up supporting it.
The real issue is the lack of definition of what constitutes victory.
We should have done deal with the Taliban way back at Tora Bora.
The justification for staying is simply that pulling out will be a worse outcome , not just for the US but for the people of Afghanistan.
Text book mission creep.
The Taliban is nowhere near being defeated and Pakistan has been duplicitous all the way. They don’t want an Afghanistan aligned with India and are terrified of Pashtun independence.
No end in sight .
Not worth the bones of one Australian SAS.
Time to get out.
