The only thing left for this is the final picture - the helicopter taking off from the roof of the US Embassy. It will be blamed on Bush.
It will be his fault along with others, including our next President, because it can still be won with overwhelming force. The fact is the war should have, and could have, been over while Bush was in office. He didn't unleash the full U.S. military without restriction on their use of power while forgetting about nation building. He sent them in with the same unrealistic ways for victory, and our next President will be to blame for our lose or continued policy of fighting to lose, unless there is a dramatic change in policy. Those aren't the only two options no matter how unlikely it is we will actually ever see our military unleashed for total war. We should win the war the way we should have to begin with, and we all know that isn't going to happen. We pullout or stay put getting our guys killed for what we made mean nothing.
I would like to see someone finally admit that we were naive in thinking we could build a civilized pro-American nation in Afghanistan, and have now halted those plans for an all-out destruction of the nation and Taliban strongholds in Pakistan.
