Ah, I see now you just mean that you do not believe that military
action in Afghanistan will reduce the threat posed by Al Queda. Fair
enough I suppose (I think that is a minority view, and an incorrect
one, but it is an important one and worth considering, though doing so
here in any depth is probably not appropriate). But you don't really
seem to mean that Obama did not explain why we have to be in
Afghanistan - you know he explained why, and you just disagree with
him.
