The goal was to eliminate Afghanistan as a safe haven for Al Qaeda, and thats what they did.

IMO, Osama is a distraction anyway. His capture wouldn't hurt al qaeda anymore that Khalid's did. It would be a moral victory with little real consequence.

Slowed them down for a few years, but far from eliminated them. They are making a huge comeback as we speak...

The Taliban are, no doubt. But it remains to be seen if Al Qaeda is making a comeback. The two are not one in the same. Before they (Al Qaeda) were allowed to do as they pleased in Afghanistan, now they are reduced to hiding in caves. We have made it more difficult, (but not impossible) for them to operate.

Thank you for proving my point...

Never could get through over 15 minutes of a Beck show. Can't get through a Hannity either.

At least Fox has Gingrich on quite often. Sharper than most guests by a long shot.

lol

I guess you think a president being a failure is good for the country? I only need to point to the past 8 years to prove otherwise.

Depends. Jimmy Carter being a failure led to the booming 80s.

Obama has yet to fail. Anything he has wanted, he has gotten, and the country is failing in spades.
