How do you put troops back into Afghanistan without the support of the government indeed, with a government that is openly hostile to their presence. Do we just occupy Kabul airport? Take back Bagram - from the air with paratroopers I guess because any land supply is now out of the question.

I want what Senator Sasse has been smoking because it’s not a serious idea.
