[Ben Ficklin]

The Iraq Study Group report published in 2006 pointed out that the Taliban had retaken everything in Afghanistan except the large urban areas.

We lost Afghanistan when we put Afghanistan on the back burner so as to invade Iraq.

The original plans was to be in and out of Iraq in 3-6 months, but that didn't work out. It was not until after Iraq that we could turn back to Afghanistan. The first re-deployment was set up by Bush but actually happened in the spring of 2009, under Obama. The second deployment was 65,000 troops that Obama sent beginning in 2010.
