    GW Bush? Not sure what your point is. The Taliban didn’t break the US invasion, the US left in a hurry with no exit plan and left a power vacuum which the Taliban quickly filled.

    Arguable the Afghanistan war would have achieved anything ‘net positive’ even if the US had carefully slowly exited as they did (somewhat) from Iraq.

      Yeah. That’s the point,we are getting closer.

      Every invasion of a foreign country by the US in the last 50 years was done by a Republican president.

      Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq, Grenada, Panama…
