Afghanistan was a very impressive vixtory.

The terrorist camps had to be shut down as best as possible. The Taliban had to be removed from power.

But how to do it?

We had no friends bordering Afghanistan. Pakistan was backing the Taliban. Who knew what Iran would do.

Since it's a landlocked country, there was no way for our fleet to influence the situation, and there was no where from which we could base an invasion.

Whatever we did to pull that thing together, it was a very impressive operation, and a very bold undertaking.

Now Iraq though is an entirely different situation.
