I wonder why he didn’t mention some of the progress we’ve made. Like the fact that, in a few short weeks, four of the most pivotal planners of the 9/11 attacks will be on trial in New York City, just like any other US citizen criminal? Great work, military! We’re going to bring these people to justice!

“Since then, we have made progress on some important objectives. High-ranking al Qaeda and Taliban leaders have been killed, and we have stepped up the pressure on al Qaeda world-wide. In Pakistan, that nation’s Army has gone on its largest offensive in years. In Afghanistan, we and our allies prevented the Taliban from stopping a presidential election, and – although it was marred by fraud – that election produced a government that is consistent with Afghanistan’s laws and Constitution.”
