There's about 100 Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The rest are Taliban. I never really knew what Bush's beef was with the Taliban. Sure they suck, but we're not going to change that mentality over there, and they are entitled to it, as long as they don't interfere with us. Our war is not with the Taliban, it's with Al Qaeda. And right now it looks like they're in Pakistan. Pakistan should answer for that. We're giving them a lot of money to help us track Al Qaeda down. If they're allowing Al Qaeda to run around in their country, I say we do some air strikes, and renegotiate.
So what are we doing in Afghanistan? BO hasn't really said. Just that he's sending 30000 more troops there (finally), and then starting to bring them home before the 2012 elections. We have to have a goal there. Does he intend to completely wipe out the Taliban? Then he's in for something like Iraq. Maybe worse if he doesn't handle the Afghan war as well as Bush did.
Question... while BO is attacking the Taliban, is he
apologizing too?
I will say Bush, or the military commanders or whoever, royally
up Tora Bora. That could have been a clean victory.
