Whatever happened to the original mission in Afghanistan: ‘Get Bin Laden, and dismantle Alqaeda’?

Osama bin Laden isn't available to answer that question... he's been one with the rubble since Tora Bora (John Kerry's protestations notwithstanding).

As far as dismantling Al Qaeda, that's a trap we never should have fallen into. Al Qaeda can dismantle itself with a simple name change any time and still live to fight on. They've done it dozens of times before and since 9/11. Hell, American Democrats and media still talk about "Al Qaeda in Iraq" (aka "Al Qaeda of the Two Rivers") like they're a different team playing in a different league in another sport. They're like the San Francisco baseball Giants to the New York football Giants. All they did was add "in Iraq" to their name, and in the eyes of the most powerful political party on earth, the media and most Americans, that makes them an entirely seperate entity. And no matter how many U.S. troops and Iraqi civilians die at their hands, they're not worth fighting because we shouldn't be there anyway (another vicious lie).

"Al Qaeda", or whatever disposable pseudonym the jihadists put on their business cards, isn't the extent of the enemy. Men willing to do violence on behalf of the pedophile prophet are in unlimited supply, and they're fungible. An al Qaeda terrorist can become a Hizballah terrorist who can become a Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami terrorist before dying as an al-Itihaad al-Islamiya terrorists. Along the way, he raises a couple of boys who start planting IEDs in Afghanistan as Lashkar-e-Jhangvi terrorists. Eventually, Al Qaeda goes down the memory hole with the Hartford Whalers and the Houston Oilers... and the mass murder goes on.

We're not at war with a terrorist organization. We're at war with Islam... or at least, it's at war with us. Until we come to terms with that uncomfortable truth and what it really means, we're powerless to stop it.

Your my kind of war monger, I could vote for you, simply because I’m tired of the PC and the people responsible for the PC who are destroying this country with their spendthrift ways and their hate America attitude.
