I never advocated such a massive response to the 9/11 attacks .....

.......... No way!

I was glad that the 9/11 attacks brought widespread understanding to the serious abuses of the Taliban regime. But I didn't think that going after al-Qaida and uprooting the Taliban merited bombing Afghanistan back to the stone age.

Working through the Pakistan leadership to block the borders and use covert operations into Afghanistan was what was merited. That was it. Has anything even been accomplished in Afghanistan? Hasn't the poppy trade resumed with reckless abandon?
