Two years of no progress because Bush left such a mess. We haven't

I don't see any different policies or timetables coming out of this
administration. It is fun to blame Bush for everything but some ideas
are just fundamentally wrong, no matter who is doing it.
Our man in Kabul is negotiating with the Taliban as we speak so I
think the whole mission was a waste of time.

nope. part of the negotiations is a guarantee that al qaida will never
be permitted to establish residence in afghanistan and attack the US.

We keep fighting terrorism like it was a central government endeavor.
There is no central character or even a central organization. We are
fighting an idea and the next attack is as likely to come from
Indonesia or Africa as Afghanistan/Pakistan.

uh huh. arm chair general...
