2/ I was there with a bipartisan House delegation. We wanted to get outside of Kabul to see Obama's "surge" in action. The military picked Parmakan, a small town in Herat Province. If I recall, it had been controlled by the Taliban, but U.S. forces had retaken it. — PolitiTweet.org

I want to share with you a story from a 2011 trip to Afghanistan that perfectly encapsulates why our mission there was flawed by design and why, despite the heroism of our soldiers, it's time to leave. 1/ Read the whole thing. It's worth it. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ We were greeted by the Army unit stationed there. Their leader was an impressive guy from Goshen, CT. These guys were bad ass, and rightly proud of having run the Taliban out of town. They introduced us to the village elders, and we set off for a tour of the town. — PolitiTweet.org
