Description

A retired military officer and frequent contributor to this journal sounds off on why the United States should withdrawal militarily from Afghanistan. He cites four benefits to withdrawal. Why is the United States engaged in massive ground warfare in Afghanistan in 2010? When it launched Operation Enduring Freedom in October 2001 its aims were (1) to find Osama Bin Laden and the other Al-Qaeda leaders and bring them to trial, (2) to destroy the Al Qaeda organization, and (3) to eliminate the Taliban regime and thus end the use of Afghan territory as a safe haven for Al-Qaeda and other international terrorist groups. Only partial success was achieved. The Al-Qaeda leadership escaped. Its organization remained intact, although it did suffer a serious blow to its operational effectiveness. By mid December the Taliban government was overthrown and the Taliban were ejected into the frontier regions of Pakistan. Afghanistan was no longer a safe haven for international terrorists.
