"I love the Cheneys but from a purely historical point of view Steele is right."

How so?

Afghanistan has been successfully invaded many times. It is common misinformation that it was not.

Successfully invaded - yes, exactly. But the british and russians lost alot of soldiers trying to establish garrisons in that country for no discernable results.

Afghanistan is not Iraq - its a wild country. I've thought from the beginning we needed to avoid a prolonged engagement there, kick ass and then promise to come back & kick ass again if they misbehaved.
