Perhaps we could see what the President back in '92 knows.

That would be George HW Bush. Impeached ex-president Clinton did not take office until 1993 and in those days, what is now called Al-Qaeda were the Afghan "Freedom Fighters".

Maybe someone can also explain to me why Osama Bin Laden is considered the baddest guy when he is only a spoiled rich kid throwing his family's money at the truly dangerous Ayman Zawahiri in an attempt to be cool.

Mission Accomplished in Afghanistan == Ayman Zawahiri has assumed room temperature.

Yes, I got the year wrong. Bush Sr. was happy to use AQ against the Russians, and Clinton couldn't be bothered with foreign policy, other than using it to make himself look good.

As for me, I'd be fine with us leaving Afghanistan. Too much PC BS keeping us from hammering the enemy into the dirt.

It's clear that Obama doesn't have the brains or the guts to fight this war. That, plus he doesn't have the heart to kill his Muslim brethren.
