Did you not see the discussion when he announced we were going in?

"Because the rebel resistence asked us to"? So instead of sending 1 American there, Obama refused - and instead asked NATO, and NATO sent in troops? We did not?

I think the thoughts about "why Libya" were pretty thoroughly discussed when it happened 7 months ago.

obama, who always asked for transparency in the past, has been anything but in this regard. hell, even congress asked- he didn't answer them either.

Yes, I agree there was a question about Congress and their lack of involvement.

we didn't get osama bin laden because of the war in afganistan, we got him thru cia and other forms of spying and interrogation.

Actually, our troops helped push bin Laden out. And we needed a physcial presence there to launch the attack into Pakistan that killed bin Laden. We could not have gotten bin Laden if we didn't have an Afghani border to launch the attack from. It could not have come from the sea or elsewheres.

The rest of it, the 'nation building" stuff, yes, a mess.

when will we get out of afganistan? who the hell knows. half the military spending in the world, and can't win in a place where the other side uses donkeys for transport.

I hope we get out of Afghanistan asap.
