    The justification for afghanistan already existed, it was to locate Osama bin laden who was being sheltered by the Taliban. The war was not justified by democeacy because the american public already wanted bin laden brought to justice

    It's the failure to prioritise nation building that prevented a victory.

    Who do you think propped up Osama Bin Laden in the first place?

    The CIA paid the mujahideen about 10% of their funding when they fought the Soviets yes. The mujahideen and Taliban are not the same at all

    But that doesnt mean he should be able to get away with it

    We should have committed more energy and priority to afghanistan.

    Half assing it is what caused failure

    US involvement in afghanistan has been worthless since the beginning

    US actually thought a Islamic Fundamentalist country would take their culture

    A vast majority of Afghanistan’s population is not any more fundamentalist than any other Muslim country

    Firstly, CIA funds both parties at war. It's naive to think they don't play both sides, cause that's what intelligence services do.

    Secondly, war in middle east hasn't been a failure! The lobbyists who run USA have been very successful at fattening their pockets.

    the fact he’s keeping people stuck in the middle east any longer than they should be to wait for a specific day just to make a statement

    Well, with as much money and effort put into it, despite being a failure for years, it's pretty clear there was never any intention to fix things

    How is it a failure then if the intention was never to fix it? It's a win not a failure because people who started it made some serious money by using americans tax payers money to cause conflict in mid east so they can sell arms and steal oil.

    It's not a CIA talking point to say Taliban controlled afghanistan was one of the, if not the worst place to be a woman at the time

    I didn't say it excuses intervention, I just said they had a terrible deal.

    It's a failure for people. Education system is all wrong. They should teach this s*** in school. People buy into anything these days.
