Every war we have been in has been virtually alone...Nothing new here. To spin it otherwise is simply an attempt at discrediting a war effort for political gain...Precisely what has happened here...Did you hear Republicans b!tch and moan about Kosovo?...We went it there under false pretenses, ignored the U.N. and we were assured departure in 1998...Kosovo is a true quagmire and the Kosovars have proven to be the guilty party in the civil war.
The U.N. has absolutely no credibility. They are facing a massive scandal revolving around the "oil for food" scam...France and Germany had sweetheart deals with Saddam, and the U.N. was selling rotten food...The people of Iraq were starving to death and Saddam was making 100s of millions.
Finishing the campaign in Afghanistan as an issue is simply more agit-prop disinformation...We can chew gum and walk at the same time...Our war is a broader war on terrorism and is multi-faceted.
Remember, if Clinton took Osama when he had the chance, none of this would have happened.
