The mission we were sold on was to get Bin Laden and Al Quaeda who were in hiding there. Then, it morphed (to the public) into we need to destroy the Taliban, who were helping them. I was all for part 1, until it got ridiculously impossible. But always opposed part 2.

This isn't new. When we get into unwinnable situations, this happens. I'm old enough to remember the exit from Vietnam. Desperate people hanging on to US aircraft.
