Afghanistan? A must fight war...a war we needed to spend treasure and lives on...

Only as a means to set up a pincer engagement (with India) of the main enemy.

Afghanistan as a standalone deserved nothing more (or less) than a punitive expedition.

True. Notice I said "needed" and not "need"...which was intentional. We should have treated those guys like we treated Dresden then been done in less than 6 months. It should have been everything AND the kitchen sink...

And the fact that folks are on here supporting Bush...when he let that criminal Karzai breath free air (and get filthy rich) shows how low we are. There was NEVER any honor in letting that guy run that country...plus it's not our job.
