Time to leave Afghanistan

I opposed former President Bush’s invasion of Iraq from the beginning because, I felt, it had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11, regardless of how former VP Dick Chaney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld try to convince us it did. I was in favor, however, of going into Afghanistan with all the forces we could must because I wanted to see us hunt down and dispose of the Osama Bin Laden, the man responsible for 9/11.

Well, we’ve done the bugger in. And, as it turns out, he wasn’t even in Afghanistan.

So I say we’ve accomplished what we set out to do. It’s time to bring the troops home. I can’t think of one logical reason why we should keep any form of a military presence in Afghanistan.
