I can understand why we originally went into Afghanistan. But I
don't understand why we are still there, other than political deals.

Bush originally went to Afghanistan with a small tactical force, just
looking tor Bin Laden. He got in so much trouble from the left because
they missed him (supposedly because the mission was too small) that we
came in force.
In the end we got Bin Laden with a small tactical force. Everything
else we did in Afghanistan was counter productive.

You can say all you want about the Iraqi "mistake" but we did end up
with a quasi democratic government that is not threatening Israel (the
real goal).
Compared with what happened in Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iraq was a
raging success. Thousands of American lives lost and we are worse off
there now than we were in 2001 or even 2009

Their selfish needs outweigh the facts.. Bush may have been a much
better president, but harry didn't get an IPhone from him, sooooo...
