On My Continued Belief that the Afghan War Should Have Lasted No Longer than Several Months with the Clear Metrics for Success Being, a) to Destroy the Terrorist Training Facilities, b) to Smoke as Many Terrorists as Humanly Possible, c) to Murder and/or Capture Osama bin Laden, and c) to Put the Fear of Allah Into the Taliban by Smacking Them Around for a Spell - that's it!!

You notice that I didn't include twenty years of moronic nation-building and the presiding over of the largest increase in poppy production since time immemorial? Please, tell me that you did.
