Harper defined it as putting paid to the Taliban for all time and the establishment of civil, political and human rights for the Afghan people. I guess we didn't quite hit those marks.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-38300879320268737412017-08-03T10:37:57.050-07:002017-08-03T10:37:57.050-07:00Trump doesn't know how to spot good advice, Mo...Trump doesn't know how to spot good advice, Mound.
