        Fast forward 16 years and...we're still there. There are kids who have driver's licenses who have never known a world with US not at war.

        And what has the US accomplished? Is Afghanistan safer or was this an exercise in futility, since the hijakers are mostly Saudi?

        Hell of a long war. Russia’s war in Afghanistan contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union. Will the US follow a similar trajectory?

        @kbaygirl So why did the US invade Afghanistan again? OBL denied ever having anything to do with 9/11. What was the proof?
