The plan was not to save the people but to kill thousands of terrorists that were there. That is what was done. Leave now and they will fester again like roaches.
You are right. They will fester again like roaches once we leave. But truth is we don't have the resources to stay over there fighting a pc war with a govt. that really does not want to punish an enemy.
We need to secure our own borders and anyone who attacks us in any way should pay a swift but lethal price using anything we have and quickly. We need to takeout 10 for every American that is taken out from now on. It will slow our eventual demise.
