For the Pentagon, ending the war in Afghanistan means leaving 10,000 troops there. Where did they learn math?
10,000 = 0

More importantly, will the Afghani mathematicians come up with the same totals?

Afghani is currency…

Take it up with Ted then. He’s the one who said that, and he has been to Afghanistan twice.
Surely, Ted, being US citizens and all, they learned their maths in the US ? Or on one of those more than 1000 bases (= – 9000 bases), the US military maintains outside the US ? And no matter where they learned the four artithmetical operations, what happens when they attempt to divide by 10000 (= 0) ?…

Ted, I think you have the math reversed in the background. 100 Al Qaeda is not equal to 1,000,000 terrorists. The correct formula is 12 terrorists = 1,000,000 Al Qaeda.
Can’t it be both?
