Was there ever a real objective to the war in Afghanistan? Ostensibly it was about getting Bin Laden, but you don’t send an army to get one man.

Bin Laden was always a separate mission. Afghanistan was primarily about removing the radical Islamic Taliban from power and by default removing the safe haven and training ground for terrorists that Afghanistan under the Taliban provided.

The Kenyan Marxist now openly supports radical Islamists region wide and as well allows the Taliban a seat at the table and negotiates with them regarding the ordered retreat of his homosexual sex military.

Well, that didn’t work out too well. It’s ludicrous to think it would have worked when all the terrorists had to do was to slip through the porous border with Pakistan and find safe havens in any number of other Islamic countries.

What the US did initially worked much better - bomb those mountains flat and use special ops and CIA. Invading Afghanistan and Iraq were the dumbest military moves since Custer decided it would be a good idea to pimp with a few Indians.
