Besides, it's also a mess of the United States' own creation what with the fact that we formerly supplied the people we are fighting.

We can drive over bombs and use robots to shoot what might as well be great briefcases of cash at cave entrances for years and years and never gain an inch of anything valuable.
Just because it's not something we can ever clearly win, doesn't mean it was totally wrong. Think about it. At least now they might have some chance at getting somewhere without being put to death for breaching the Taliban's fucking ridiculous laws.
