Cheney: 'I Basically Don't' Think Bush Administration Responsible For Afghanistan Problems | TPMDC
While I don't agree 100% with Obama's handling of Afghanistan, I can't even partially accept that the current situation there isn't a result of failures in the 7 years previous Obama taking office. The ultimate failure which was having Bin Laden in our grasps and letting him get away.
The initial goal in Afghanistan wasn't to nation-build, yet that's what we're stuck doing now. Diverting massive resources that could have been utilized in Afghanistan to fight a war in Iraq is also a major failure - especially since none of those WMD fabrications ever materialized.
