Not fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, we are fighting a local group of fanatics.
And again, the prize isn't worth it, Afghanistan produces nothing of value, is simply a money pit for anyone fool enough to invest there, and will always be backward.
We did the job we set out to do, nation building wasn't it.
If they want more they have to fight for it, you ccan't give freedom, people have to earn it.
I agree. I have to think that it is the threat of al qaeda rebuilding itself that is keeping Obama in the game there - he has access to information, or perhaps, a chance to capture Bin Laden. That would be a huge feather in his cap and allow him some international street cred that is much needed for him. Of course then I believe the Obama administration would not know what to do with Bin Laden if they did capture him - it would be far better if he was killed than captured to avoid that scenario.
But yes, bring the troops home now. Enough is enough.
