Well, while I do not argue your point that he is an idiot, I also believe that either he (or someone who is pulling his strings) has a purpose for his actions in Afghanistan. Whether or not that purpose is in the best interest of Americans and America is not a difficult question to answer.
I have no clue where or how they can spend that kind of dough in that place. Reconstruction would be a fraction of that. This ain't Iraq.
The left boxed themselves in by claiming the real war was afganistan and Iraq was a mistake. Our new leader wants to prove that lie. They are vested in it for history and to continue to damage Bush.....as they see it.
They will be proved wrong and it's gonna cost us. In the end they will pull back and maintain what Bush left them as they should have, or they will pull out and go back to million dollar cruise missles, tents and camels asses......
