2. Did any of those goals succeed?
To me, the goals are relatively clear:
1. Depose the Taliban.
2. Establish a democratic government.
3. Disrupt Afghan-based terrorism.
4. Capture/kill/marginalize Bin Laden.
Im going to have to diagree with you on these points.
1. Replace Taliban with "Al Qiada", there still there.
2. If you leave the city, its run by tribal leaders. Some democratic government you got there.
3. Absolutely not. Attacks on US soldiers are on the rise in Afganistan.
4. Ok, and we created 50 new bin-ladins to replace him. What did that accomplish? (And we did not catch him nor kill him.)
Im sorry, but whole mess has been bungled.
