Escape To Victory
We have lost the war in Afghanistan. Every invader has always done so. We should cut our losses and get out. Why did we ever go in there in the first place? Was there even a reason at all?
Even the most compelling reason, to eliminate bin Laden and his inner circle, really does not make sense anymore, as bin Laden is likely in Pakistan and our drone strikes and other activities in that country are only helping the radical Islamists there. Intervention in the Muslim world just makes things worse.
