Since you started discussing this subject some time ago, you have taken so many different positions, often contradicting yourself from one post to the next, until you've gotten to the point where there is no plausible action whatsoever that we could have taken in Afghanistan that would have met with your approval, including leaving bin Laden completely alone and taking no action at all.

Now you seem to be advocating hundreds of thousands of troops in Afghanistan, when I clearly remember you telling us once that any president other than Bush would have simply "taken out the terrorists" without have to resort to invasion (using sorcery, I guess.)

You have a bone-deep horror of American success in war, and you'll keep changing your position so that no matter what happens, it's wrong. I don't know where that comes from.
