Bush in effect rowed out into the middle of a large lake, and Obama has to row back.

However, no matter who is fighting it, that war is a lost cause. It's going on 9 years and nothing has been gained. The Mayor of Kabul just ran a crooked election, as if it's even remotely possible to have a democracy in a country which is occupied by foreign forces.

I realize you think it's a good thing, which must be because you like war for the sake of war. War should accomplish something. This one has not produced anything but grief for the US while falling into OBL's trap. He dreamed of getting Americans over there where they could be killed.
