Iraq only came into the picture after a concentrated effort - during the Afghanistan invasion - by the Bush Administration to bring Iraq into the picture. And once they succeeded in that, they left Afghanistan a halfassed job.

I don't disagree. My point was up to that point we were doing a great job, better than any military force up to that point, and with the fewest of troops on the ground. It was a historically successful military operation.

I'm sure the troops did as well as they could, but the administration sent them in with those "fewest of troops", and expended all their effort on starting a different war. I know that I (and I expect that Bruce) intended to attribute all of the halfassedness of the invasion on the administration.
