Finish what? What is the goal? Supposedly this was about getting OBL, but it’s foolish to send in an army to go after a bunch of loosely knit groups of terrorists who move across borders at will. You are right about politicians and policy wonks getting our troops killed. The next time some jerk like Wolfowitz or Perle tell us that a war will be easy, cheap, and short, perhaps we should send them in first.
We need to get the f*** out of Afghanistan!
