You misunderstand our goal in Afghanistan. Our goal is not to

True, we've been there eleven years. We've been in Korea for fifty
and in Germany for even longer. Because of these deployments, at
leat partially, Russia hasn't invaded the West, North Korea hasn't
invaded the South, and the Taliban, or their buddies, hasn't
wreaked havoc here.

It wasn't the taliban that "wreaked" havoc on 9/11.

It was 19 Saudis.

Yet you had thousands of troops in Saudi Arabia at the time, and for a
decade prior. That didn't seem to help anything.

Correction: We had NO troops in Saudi Arabia (except for the Marine Guard at
the consulates and embassy and a handful of military trainers) prior to
9/11. We have none now.
