You know as well as I that that has never been the case. I have been a supporter of the Afghan conflict for very good reasons. I was very much against Iraq for very good reasons. Personally I think we have lost Afghanistan because of Iraq. We have also ruined one of the finest militaries. Do you really thing that the current army could duplicate the 3rd Infantry Division's race to Baghdad? Right now I think that Afghanistan is a lost cause, and we should cut our losses and leave.
