An exit strategy is always required before going into war. A fact even known 2000 years before North America was (officially) discovered. Had Afghanistan been invaded by responsible leaders, even Phase Four planning was ongoing as the CIA and Special Forces were being deployed. That also requires leaders with basic intelligence and knowledge of military principles well understood even more than 2000 years ago.

The war in Afghanistan must be fought all over again because those simple principles (ie an exit strategy) was a complete mystery the pres Cheney, his sidekick Rumsfeld, and his front man George Jr.
