The time was 11 years ago...Obama is going on 4 years too late....
When all is said and done....the biggest anti-war campaign will have occupied Afghanistan for about 40% of the time spent there. And Iran is coming up.

Afghanistan is known as the "Graveyard of Empires" for good reason. Just ask the Soviets. We definitely need to leave as soon as possible. I wish Obama would have got us out of both countries as quickly as possible as well as stayed out of Libya. At least we are heading in the right direction.
Without reading the article I voted yes. My mind was made up about that long ago. I don't see that it's possible to repair or mitigate the sickness too deep in them. I cannot comprehend a sane mission statement applicable to their better interests. Fighting someone else's civil war for them NEVER works.
Rather than carry on a pointless quagmire we have to focus on achievable goals, meet those goals, and get the hell out of there. Do not write mission statements demanding the troops be social workers. That's not an appropriate use of military force.
It should have never escalated beyond a cia , air strike war.
Seals got it done with a surgical strike. That was the only way it was ever going to get done. The rest of this very expensive & heart of darkness pomp and circumstance... not so much.
