We've got the Islamists cornered in Afghanistan! - SteveG - 03-23-2013

"As U.S. forces continue to target al Qaeda leaders in eastern Afghanistan, things have calmed down somewhat in southern Afghanistan outside the city of Kandahar, the last major Taliban stronghold to fall to U.S. and opposition forces following U.S. attacks on the conservative Muslim regime that harbored bin Laden"
Looks good for a complete victory before our mission is over!

What a coincidence, the Soviets declared victory, washed their hands, picked up their toys and went home too.

A story about Osama Bin Laden from December, 2001.
How clever.

"Islamists" are not America's enemy. We are not at war with Islam. Islamists were not our enemies in 2001.
Please keep your sham headlines accurate.

I couldn't use 'Taliban' because apparently they weren't in the grand mountain fortress of Tora Bora, which turned out to be a bunch of small caves with a few hundreds Al Qaeda and a few days worth of supplies.

Anyway, Tora Bora was the first mighty bungle as the initial invasion went on. It became worse from there, especially after they pulled the resources to stop Saddam from unleashing his WMDs on behalf of Al Qaeda.

Is it trolling to point out the failure of the Bush boys to get it right...or are you still maintaining that history skipped from 2001 to 2009 without anything happening?
