Yes, I've heard those same words echoed many times since before we first entered battle in Afghanistan.

To say no one was against invading Afghanistan is totally untrue. I suggest you go back and read the many threads on SI before and after we first attacked the Taliban. Many of the same doom and gloomers were saying it was a quagmire, another Vietnam; we mistakenly used violence to end violence and so forth and so on.

The only thing which has changed is the name of the country. The Bush critics, the N.Y. Times and others said the same things then as they are saying now. Except now, many of them are pretending them supporting our action in Afghanistan.

Heck, just one or two days before Kabul fell there were stories after stories filling the papers about how our military was failing miserably, and what a poor decision it was to invade Afghanistan.

I would dig up the links, but I'm tired of posting things which are so obvious to anyone who followed foreign policy news events.
