It would have been a mistake to rush into ill-considered policy in Afghanistan as well. When I say Clinton left us nothing in Afghanistan, I mean dead empty shell of an embassy, burned out, boarded up, zero policy, zero data, zip, nothing, nada.
Bush did the right thing. Study the issue, make a decision, submit, sign, implement.
How do you think we got people in there on the ground so quickly? CIA already knew their way around. The policy Bush's NSC came up with is the policy that won the war in Afghanistan.
Thanks, I have missed you on the ME thread...
I haven't been able to be there much the last week or so...but, that should change soon.
Hopefully, you will find some more time to hang out there also.!!
