| afghanistan provided a base to keep bin laden at bay. drone strikes limited the enemy’s freedom of movement. the base in afghanistan helped collect intelligence about the enemy and in the end served as the base to launch seal team six to take the enemy out. our mission in afghanistan now remains to help build a nation that can govern and protect itself, so that it can act as a seawall to keep the taliban and their al-qaeda sponsors from going back and forth across the border. this is a job worth doing and one that can be done. in fact, recent polls show that in the wake of taking out bin laden, there has been an upswing of americans who are now convinced that the war in afghanistan can be won. they are right. |
