there isn't evidence of that. He provided the clerics the ability to allow their people freedom. Nothing wrong with that. It should have had a deadline and it didn't.Of course W did things I never would have done. He went nation building. I wouldn't have done that
No. They didn't. They said they were willing to discuss it, "if" they were provided with evidence to suit them and "if" the US agreed to stop bombing, "if" the US agreed to Bin Laden being handed over to a third party outside US influence, etc, etc, etc ...
Quite rightly, Bush told them to piss off.
Thanks for reminding us how liberal hippies wanted us to cut and run from Vietnam too.RetiredGySgt it's a no win situation--just like Vietnam ..TOTALLY different from Japan and Germany
Your FOS.I think the majority of the conservatives were in favor of the withdrawl but we wanted a plan to get out the americans and all the people who helped our troops like the interpreters and their families . This is not what Biden did ..
After 20 years, we are "cutting and running"?Thanks for reminding us how liberal hippies wanted us to cut and run from Vietnam too.
Part we agree on: I agree that the Taliban enabled Al Qaeda who attacked the United States. And that means I totally support our attacking and destroying the Taliban and paying them back many times over for what they did to us. And I had no problem with our military staying involved and keeping them down by bombing and whatever else we wanted to do to them for as long as we need to keep them from being a threat and as a warning others what we will do to them.
What I don't agree with: Nation building in Afghanistan. It's a tribal country. Russia failed to control it. Britain failed four times. We had no chance. We should not have invaded and tried to build a government there. To maintain the government, we will have to stay for centuries. That is insane. W was a moron and really screwed us by putting us in an impossible situation where we could never leave.
It's really unfortunate that we sent so many Americans who fought and died for our country. My niece was in the military there and her husband did at least five tours that I remember. Now we pull out and it falls negating their sacrifice and the price we and they paid. I feel genuinely bad about that.
But what choice do we have? We have been there for almost 20 years and they aren't remotely able to support themselves. They won't be in our lifetimes. They won't be in our children's lifetimes.
What should we have done? What is the solution other than leaving? I can't believe Bush went in without realizing this is how at one point or another it would end.
U.S. troops leaving Afghanistan teetering on the brink of all-out civil war
As CBS News visits the viciously contested front line, it's clear U.S. troops are leaving behind an Afghan security force struggling to fend off a resurgent Taliban.www.cbsnews.com

Hello. I asked the same question 2 days ago and never received any advice.
Suddenly, all the expert military advisors pop up like mushrooms. They all know how to do it. How coincidental.
He's still tying their hands preventing them from going out and getting people.
