The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001, as the armed forces of the United States of America, the United Kingdom and the Afghan United Front (Northern Alliance) launched Operation Enduring Freedom. The primary driver of the invasion was the September 11 attacks on the United States, with the stated goal of dismantling the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization and ending its use of Afghanistan as a base. The United States ALSO said that it would remove the Taliban regime from power and create a viable democratic state.

Which brings us back to reality land and the subject of this thread:
“Clinton in Afghanistan ‘to urge Taliban reconciliation’,”
FAIL.
