After 9-11 there was a strong rationale for gooing into Afghanistan to clear out Al Qaeda from its sanctuaries there. Had we concentrated there, it would have been a sensible decision. What we did was to take a whole unnecessary detour. In the meantime Al Qaeda is getting stronger in Afghanistas, and much worse, getting strong in Pakistan. Pakistan is a **very*** serious problem because a) it is becoming politically unstanble and b) has a nuclear program. Now with enough instabillity and well-placed sympathizers, it is quite possible that Al Qaeda will get its hand on nuclear material. If the government was serious about national security, their first priotiry would be to keep that from happening. But instead it is refereering a sectarian war in Iraq, and calling that a priority. I do hope that either Obama or Hillary makes that point, that we need to do somethign about Pakistan, to keep Al Qaeda from getting nuclear weapons, and why the Hell are our troops in Iraq when we need them clearning up Al Qaeda in its sanctuary? I do not expect McCain to do it, so it will be up to them... There is no winning the Iraq war, because when you fight the wrong war, you lose - no matter how it comes out. Sent at: 2008 09 06
