We will not settle for stagnation.
The college grads are discovering that they cannot discharge their college loans in
bankruptcy court. They want a career not a job working at Starbucks.
Can't you see that?

The decade-long War in Afghanistan (2001–present) has caused the deaths of thousands of Afghan civilians directly from insurgent and foreign military action, as well as the deaths of possibly tens of thousands of Afghan civilians indirectly as a consequence of displacement, starvation, disease, exposure, lack of medical treatment, crime and lawlessness resulting from the war. The war, launched by the United States as "Operation Enduring Freedom" in 2001, began with an initial air campaign that almost immediately prompted concerns over the number of Afghan civilians being killed[1] as well as international protests. With civilian deaths from airstrikes rising again in recent years,[2] the number of Afghan civilians being killed by foreign military operations has led to mounting tension between the foreign countries and the government of Afghanistan. In May 2007, President Hamid Karzai summoned foreign military commanders to warn them of the consequences of further Afghan civilian deaths.[3] The civilian losses are a continuation of the extremely high civilian losses experienced during the Soviet Afghan war in the 1980s, and the three periods of civil war following it: 1989-1992, 1992-1996, and 1996-2001.

Or, they are trolling ATS trying to justify their hopes and commitments to a failed Obama adminstration that ignored them and the promises it made them once it took the reins of power and told those who didn't follow-on, "I won. I trump you;" or to whom it threatended," We will punish our enemies."

While that is indeed a gain of 4.5 million, it's only a net gain of 300,000 over the course of the Obama administration to date.

Given the foregoing, how do you justify “negotiation” with the Taliban”

If I start a thread about this, will you cut and paste this reply to it? So it can be discussed? We are totally off topic on the fact check/job creation thing but I don't want to ignore your time and effort spent on what it is a intelligent reply with substance we can discuss...something too rare lately.

so...what they said was true...4.5 million private sector jobs were created. they didn't say anything about the jobs lost, how would anyone stop that..."oh, please, business A...we'll give you government money to keep people employed at your business, so don't fire anyone"... i guess that would be your answer.
