Question: With the American public growing increasingly weary about involvement in Afghanistan... and the W.H. looking at options for the mission there... let me ask you this:

After 8 years of chasing after cave-dwelling and apparently impossible-to-catch Al Qaeda leaders, should the U.S. simply keep small groups of special forces there, or even stop that particular chase altogether? When you can't smoke them out after 8 years, is year 9 really ging to be the one where you catch Bin Laden? Really? Or even years 10, 11, or 12? It doesn't seem so, sadly.

I just wonder if avenging 9/11 is still the must-do mission that it was when it kicked off, or of people have grown so weary with the economy, the environment, multiple conflicts and so on... would the American public be cool with just leaving and saying, "Well, we tried." ? It would end unnecessary deaths and injuries to good soldiers (or does the majority think their deaths ARE necessary?)
