I find myself agreeing... If perhaps for different reasons. The mission there has been pretty well accomplished. We went in there to get Bin Laden, eliminate the leadership of Al Ahead and disrupt their global operations. This has all been done. The Taliban only became the enemy when they gave shelter to OBL. With AQ all but stir-fried, our quarrel with them is moot.

We can be proud of the work our boys have done there. Brilliant stuff. OBL is dead. AQ is a pitiful shell of its former self. They may rebuild... In fact they likely will, but that is now something for another time and place. We’ve given the Afghanis as much of a nation as they’ve ever had... And now it’s up to them to do with their 7th-century culture whatever they will.

Al Ahead = Al Queda.
