Nope. And Obama lost my vote too.
What I always found interesting is how Bush called off the frontier hunt in Tora Bora for OBL and turned his interest to Iraq. That doubled our war footing instead of completing a mission and never going in whole hog. Now it's endless war at $6 trillion and counting, 5000+ heroes dead, and many thousands more maimed and emotionally and psychologically damaged which has yielded many suicides and murders of family members. What a legacy you assholes.

Progress in Afghanistan was always an illusion, the Taliban was always going to wait out the US. One would have thought we would have learned from the Soviets but we sure didn't.
I've said it before but OBL was wildly successful in getting the US to spend a crap ton of money on a complete boondoggle. Obama also lost my vote from 08 to 12 for this and the debt.
