U.S. Senate candidate from Massachusetts feels:
I think we have done what we are going to be able to do in Afghanistan. I think that we should plan an exit strategy. Yes. I’m not sure there is a way to succeed. If the goal was and the mission in Afghanistan was to go in because we believed that the Taliban was giving harbor to terrorists. We supported that. I supported that. They’re gone. They’re not there anymore.
The Taliban wasn’t “giving harbor to terrorists” … the Taliban were the terrorists. I suppose Afghanistan has somehow been magically cleansed of all the Taliban, at least in Coakely’s mind.
