2. I think it's wrong in that we're not really serious about Bin Laden.

Right after we invaded and nearly caught OBL, we were all set to catch him, it was pitched as if OBL were cornered and the US made a big deal about how they were going to let the local military (afghani) operatives make the final catch, and I said right then that they weren't serious. The US military doesn't go all the way across the world to make a catch and then letsomeone else take the credit. I believe they let him go purposefully, and covered it up by claiming to let hte locals get credit for the final capture and then blaming them for bungling it up.

So, yes, I think it's wrong for us to have troops in AFghanistan.
