so why did you go there in the first place?

I blame Bush.

You all cheered when you heard the death of Osama Bin Laden.

I was speaking rhetorically. Iraq, oil 4 sure. Afghanistan was Bin Laden. But if we had any sense we'd cut this crap out. We never did get any oil out of Iraq so far as I know. All we do is look stupid and piss a lot of people off.

Afghanistan has geopolitical value, friend. They can't really have bases in any of the ex-soviet Central Asian republics, which have oil, natural gas, uranium and etc...So a reliable client state in the form of Afghanistan was to be created.
