This is a stupid way to waste our grand kid's money at a time when the

what would be more stupid is to allow another 9/11
Al queda has moved out. we have even less chance of securing the borders
there than we do here.
which is OK. we win the war if we prevent the taliban from taking
power.
If we'd have said "Hey Mr. Taliban, if you hear some loud noises around Tora
Bora, don't worry about it, just us coming in to "get some" for 9/11. Just
letting you know so that you stay out of the line of fire."
on 9/11 there was no functional difference between AQ and the taliban.
now there is. i have no objections at all to negotiating with
elements of the taliban...as long as they keep their noses clean
And then seriously going after that scum instead of going after the sitting
government and half assing the assaullt on al queda when they were all in a
cluster, we would be much better off than we are today.
yep. bush screwed the pooch by trying to fight the war on the cheap.
