It's deeply fucked up, but, unfortunately, there's a lot of truth to it, in my opinion.  I don't think the country is ready to throw in the towel on Afghanistan, at least not until bin Laden is killed or captured.

Now, if that can be done (and it'd help if President Shit-for-Brains actually gave a damn about it), the story would change dramatically.  Suddenly, the next president could declare victory and take the easy exit.  Whether he/she would is another question.

Didn't Bin Laden die from lack of dialysis facilities some time in the winter of 2001/2? I mean, how long can someone with kidney failure survive in a cave in Tora Bora?

But the CIA still comes up with really good videos from him. So either he is alive or the CIA is makeing the videos of BinLaden to keep a face for the enemy.
