7 years in Afghanistan. Why so long?

Question

7 years in Afghanistan. Why so long?

Answer 1

The Taliban is still on the move.

Answer 2

Because Bush is in office and doesn't have a clue about foreign policies. We shouldn't even be in Iraq. Bush is a bimbo.

Answer 3

As usual with US foreign policy the so called enemy was underestimated and made to look like the biggest threat to western society since the last one , whatever that was.

Also the poppy fields in there are the biggest in the world. They are being harvested for heroin, we know where it is going.

Why dont they  just legalise the farming of opium to meet the global shortage of morphine and pay the farmers to harvest delivering a double blow to terrorist funding and the global narcotics.

Answer 4

We're still in Japan and Germany, why aren't you throwing a fit about that?

Answer 5

Not enough resources put to Afghanistan due to optional  War in Iraq.

Answer 6

for their poppies

Answer 7

The Bush Administration needed the "Boogie-Man", as known as Osama Bin Laden to live for manipulation purposes. To terminate his existences, would decrease the support and limit their corporate crony war profiteering.
