we shouldn't have stayed anyway. Once we cleaned out the Taliban and Al Queda, or at least had them on the run, we should have just left....

Spot-on correct! A soldier's life is worth more than 20 insurgent lives especially if they can be taken out via drones.

A lot of this has to do with our limp-wristed fear of stating who the real enemy is: Pakistan. We should recognize that Pakistan has made a de facto declaration of war against us, and we ought to reply in kind. However, America has become so politically correct and wussy that we can not fight a real war against a real, and strong, enemy any more.

Heaven forbid, if Hitler were doing his dirty work today, we would never have the balls to land on Normandy beach. We've become a nation of Chamberlains.
