So Rumsfeld was right. Never should have sent in the additional troops. A small force was all that ever should have gone there and let the Northern alliance do the dirty work. Pay one mullah to kill the other and use predators. Never get involved in a ground war in Asia.

Here's the problem with our entire foreign policy aim under Bush: You cannot pacify Islamist countries. The fact is Afgani's want to kill each other, to behave with savagery and brutality. You cannot stop them from doing it. All we can do is respond to direct threats to us. That's what we did after 9/11, and now we should stop the nation building and leave them to be perfectly happy killing each other. If they try anything again, then we will have a casus belli to go in their and kill them all again.
