Ten years, trillions of dollars and no real end in sight? Why are we even there? Bin Laden is dead, Al Qaeda is in Pakistan and The Taliban is still running things. "We" had a chance to establish a lasting peace there but W decided to start another war instead of finishing what he started. That chance has been blown, and those cost are sunk, it's past time "we" admit that and cut our losses.
