Ask the Taliban if they are better off now than they were 4 years ago?

Again I have to go back to the reasoning behind these wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are equivalent to why Obama is using drone strikes, we don’t get to see the classified information.

So how these know-it-alls like ABC’s panel can tell us the wars were wrong is not even subjective, Cokie Roberts, Corey Booker, Paul Krugman, and George Stephenopolis don’t know.

It seems to me that approval needs to be pointed out.

The US Congress voted and approved invasions into both Afghanistan and Iran.

The US Congress did NOT vote to approve drone strikes into Pakistan.

I approve of the drone strikes but the US Congress has never voted on them.

Actually, I believe the Taliban are MUCH better off than 4 years ago. Thanks to White House dictated rules-of-engagement, many more American and Allied soldiers are being killed - a major Taliban goal.

That's why you so rarely hear casualty rates reported in the MSM.
