For the first time since the U.S. initially became involved in Afghanistan in 2001, Americans are as likely to say U.S. military involvement there was a mistake as to say it was not.

Certainly the Iraq War totally fucked us. I remember reading Gary Bernsten’s Jawbreaker and being just amazed at how his requests for backup troops during the Battle of Tora Bora were denied due to all resources being dedicated to pre-stage for Iraq. If the Bush administration didn’t take their eye off the ball then Bernsten would have gotten the manpower he requested and Bin Laden most likely wouldn’t have made it across the border to Pakistan.
