If we had "concentrated" on Afghanistan we could have gotten Osama and his buddies right there.

The CIA was there and begging for American troops to at least try and block those guys from "scurrying" over the border to Pakistan, but Rumsfeld and Bush were already on their Iraq plans and they didn't want to put any more Americans in Afghanistan than necessary.

Look at the military's OWN numbers if you don't believe 30,000 killed and wounded is right. About 4,200 killed and 25,000 wounded. BTW....I don't think that even counts all the "paid contractors" that have been killed or wounded.
