Still not able to come up with a legitimate objective that remains to be accomplished?
I'm listening
Wasn't the Left screaming that as long as we hadn't found bin Laden then all our efforts were a waste? Wasn't that, like, last week or so?
Wasn't Obama giving a speech about how Afghanistan was the good war and we needed to fight it, like 4 months ago? Like to the VFW:
So in August it was "fundamental to the defense of our people." And today he's looking for ways out of it.As I said when I announced this strategy, there will be more difficult days ahead. The insurgency in Afghanistan didn't just happen overnight and we won't defeat it overnight. This will not be quick, nor easy. But we must never forget: This is not a war of choice. This is a war of necessity. Those who attacked America on 9/11 are plotting to do so again. If left unchecked, the Taliban insurgency will mean an even larger safe haven from which al Qaeda would plot to kill more Americans. So this is not only a war worth fighting. This is a -- this is fundamental to the defense of our people.
