"...if someone (President Gore for example) had just "done it right," the entire Afghanistan War would have been over in a few weeks,"
First of all, no one has ever said anything remotely like that so your strawman is pathetic. Second, I know you are still gung ho to keep fighting that war exactly the same way because change is scary, but Bush had SEVEN YEARS + in Afghanistan. and it's safe to say his strategy DIDN'T WORK.
