This should be our cue to declare victory and get out of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
If we don't, we're going to be continuing a military campaign in Afghanistan that we will never be able to win and relying on Pakistan, a country whose government or intelligence services can reasonably be assumed to have kept our most notorious enemy safe.

As an American, I am well-versed on all the bullshit reasons that are used to justify military actions or entering into wars.

Killing bin Laden is a great reason to get the hell out of Afghanistan and Pakistan. This is the time.

If we don't take this opportunity the mission will get murkier, the alliances stranger and given the relationship between Pakistan and India, alone, and given the fact that they are both nuclear powers, we could wind up on the wrong side of an absolutely catastrophic conflict that we have no part in and want no part of.
