Straw man of the day - Bush is being criticized for taking out the Taliban
He keeps going on about Afghanistan. What the Taliban did and do people still want them in power. That isn't what people are critical of him about.

He keeps conflating Iraq and Afghanistan but what's new, I guess.

3. And he just committed us to at least 3 more years in Iraq
When asked if a day would come when US troops were out of Iraq, he said that's for future presidents to decide. A quick check of my calendar makes that a minimum of three years from now.
