Initially portrayed as a major success has outstripped now for president ial terms are to come up and looks back at the years of war. Back in 2003 u. S. Officials were telling a story of success when it came to afghanistan listen to Donald Rumsfeld were at a point where we clearly have moved from major combat to a period of stability and to blues asian and reconstruction activities the bulk of this country today is permissive and secure it is clear that that is the case by virtue of the fact that we see people returning to their country from all across the globe in large numbers but 17 years and 4 president ial terms later one of the great powers of military history is about to sign a p

Thats a glimpse into what we see at the border but we cant stop and think that we cant move forward because theres a lot of things we can move forward on. I
