Yet they've captured the number 3 guy any number of times. I don't know about number 4 through 10 though, they may still be running around.

Geez Loueeze. Imagine what would have happened if we'd sent in 200,000 US troops plus tens of thousands of coalition troops into... Afghanistan. That's a country with a 50% illiteracy rate, we could have done significant good.

We could have disarmed the warlords, prevented the planting of the worlds' biggest opium crop and likely found bin laden...quickly and meaningfully. At what point did the Bush administration say, 'we'll just send in a few thousands troops into Afghanistan...for show.'

Did any delusional Neocon or christocrat really think that would be enough for a country that size and, what's really disturbing, did they care?
