Yet the US thinks differently.

Right after the invasion we were told: These carefully targeted actions are designed to disrupt the use of Afghanistan as a terrorist base of operations and to attack the military capability of the Taleban regime.
More than twice the duration of WW II to accomplish that seems a bit excessive.

Personally, when Obama got involved in Libya and there were some on the right talking impeahment, I was hoping they'd have the cojones to go through with it. I think we need to put the manner in which we go to war on trial. Wr/no war based on votes serves neither the country or the people.
That's enough to supply the world's rare earth needs for 10 years based on current consumption, points out Robert Tucker, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientist who is the lead author on a report released on September 14.
How can we keep "idiotic Bush comments" out of this one? Are you completely cracked?
How many years are you going to hang your hat on Bush. Deal with the present.
How long would it take you or I to sign an order to pull troops out of this hell hole? Me about 2 seconds. Seems like Obummers needs 3 plus years and counting to sign his name.
Deal with the present people not the past. As much as you hate to admit it your CINC has failed you.
It has been said throughout history that "Afghanistan is where Empires go to die"...American politician's arrogance never allows them to review history though

Keep your idiotic Bush comments to yourselves. It's been three frigging years now.
I am still waiting to find out about all those Navy Seals killed on Obummers watch.
My first thought was why was such high ranking officers over there in such heat?
