Today, October 7, 2010, marks the 9th anniversary of George W. Bush's invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. And now it is Obama's war.
So what has it accomplished?
It has accomplished the deaths of 1,321 U.S. troops and countless innocent Afghan civilians.
And it has managed to eat up more than $352 billion U.S. taxpayer dollars (and counting).
Sure, the Taliban government was overthrown, but they're still fighting and terrorizing the Afghan countryside (as we pay them protection money). And their regime was replaced by the corrupt Karzai government, which is arguably not much of an improvement.
And Osama bin Laden is still on the loose.
What a horrible waste of time, money, human life, and human spirit!
