Time to withdraw completely from Afghanistan , and like the Rusians did, leave them with a destroyed country ( pretty much the normal states of things when the USA pulls out ).  |
We gotta make it look good though. That's the way America political winds blow.
I think part of the reason we went to war with Iraq is because a number of people
felt like we didn't leave Iraq "the right way" after the first gulf war.
A number of people thought Bush#1 was a failure* on Iraq and Bush#2 wanted to rectify that. (*failure = not punishing enough)
I knew we were going to war with Iraq the night that Bush#2 was elected.
I just didn't know exactly how he would get us there.
I told everybody I knew to get ready for war with Iraq.
Afghanistan was the war I never figured.
