and Pakistan says foreign troops are not acceptable to them. It appears that for Bush friendship with Mush is far more important than attacking AQ/Taliban terror cells in and around Pakistan.

So it's not only Barack telling Pakistan they can't have a terrorist haven.

Wonder if we can get our $Billions back? < :-)

Has anyone ever successfully invaded and held Afghanistan?

I've said that a million times. But when I say we need to go in and get them, people on this board went off the handle. Now that Barrack is saying it, its welcomed.

Has anyone ever successfully invaded and held Afghanistan?" Invaded, yeah. Held it? why, there is nothing there unless you are a heroine junkie!

I don't think the Taliban are--or ever were--our problem, except to the extent that we accused it of providing safe haven for bin Laden and al Qaeda. After driving bin Laden out of areas which were Afghanistan's in name only into areas which are Pakistan's in name only, we have rather steadfastly refused to go after bin Laden. And even though the Taliban are just one of the factions that we are fighting in Afghanistan, we seem to lay all the problems at their doorstep.

Obama seems to have a tendency to view Afghanistan as the "good war". I think he is wrong about that. There wasn't any good war. Miscreants such as the ones who rammed planes into the towers are not a job for armies. They are a job for police and special ops.

SezWho2 - The Taliban isn't a country. They are the political movement that took control of Afghanistan and with their and bin Laden's support atgtacked the United States.

I'm not one to advocate of wars or fighting, but this was a just retaliation for attacking us, killing our prople and for attacking our way of life.

Iraq was a war of choice. But Afghanistan actually attacked us.

The problem is we forgot about the war in Afghanistan and attacked a sovern country that did absolutely nothing to us except have oil. < :-)

adaydream,

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you, but then again, I'm not sure what you are saying. You say that the Taliban are not a country and yet you say that Afghanistan attacked us. I agree with the first but disagree with the second. Not only did Afghanistan not attack us, but the Taliban did not either.
