And again ,as per my 498, Obama ran on this issue. It was the “RIGHT” war. He didn’t know or wasn’t advised back then that the “right war” would require a better “option” than the last 8 years?
He ran on getting al-Qaida and my guess is that’s the turn we’ll take based on this from my link:
National security adviser James Jones has said that according to maximum estimates, al-Qaida has fewer than 100 fighters operating in Afghanistan without any bases or ability to launch attacks on the West. Instead, the U.S. fight in Afghanistan is against the Taliban, now increasingly defined by the Obama team as distinct from al-Qaida. While still dangerous, the Taliban are seen as indigenous with almost entirely local and territorial aims and far less of a threat to the U.S.
