Just double checked. GWB did go into Afghanistan after 911, supposedly to get BinLaden. That didn't happen, and that war wasn't real active since GWB decided that destabilizing Iraq would be more fun (or whatever). Obama actually campaigned on Afghanistan being the war we should be fighting and shifting gears to a more vigorous attempt there. He got Bin Laden, so one has to wonder what further incentive there is to stay in that cesspool. It would make more sense to lock the maniacs in that country than try to change them.

If I remember correctly, hillary was always a big advocate of that escapade, wanting to teach Afghani girls how to read or whatever.

Wouldn't be surprising if there isn't some pipeline access and natural resources involved in that adventure.

Summary....we were already in Afghanistan, but the involvement was cutting back. Then, along came Obama! What they (Obama and hillary) can't explain is why we stayed after BinLaden was killed.

And don’t forget whacko Patty Murray saying that OBL was building schools and hospitals there.
