Quote:But I can't seem to figure out what we've accomplished
It's a work in progress. We are just starting to nation build, so we'll be elbow-deep in Afghanistan for a few years. But we did manage to topple the Taliban, and disrupt the Al Qaeda network. Was it perfect? No, there has never been a military operation unhampered by politics and egos. But all in all, considering it has been less than a year since 9/11, the military has done quite a good job under trying circumstances.
Oh, and dead as a doornail. I don't buy the riding off into the Iranian sunrise story-if it happened, he is one hearty motherfucker. Did you see how frail he looked in that last video? That guy couldn't cross the fucking street without stopping for breath, there's no way he made it overland in that terrain during that time of the year.
