How would you have moved our troops, planes, tanks, vehicles, supplies, etc. into Afghanistan? Would you have simply invaded a nuclear armed Pakistan on the ground? Violated their airspace without permission? Should we have cut a deal with Iran or Turkministan instead? Or maybe we should have developed space-based lasers and destroyed the training camps and terrorists fleeing from them from a safe distance.

It is much easier to regurgitate talking points from the crazy left wing websites that you frequent than to formulate a reasonable alternative solution to a problem, isn't it? I don't like the fact that our government, both under Bush and Obama, has spent billions of dollars in Pakistan. My friends from India have a hard time understanding why the U.S. has put so much money into the pockets of Pakistan, which is the source of terrorist attacks on Indian soil.

We could not allow al Qaeda and the Taliban to continue training terrorists in Afghanistan after 9/11 without striking back. Besides, Musharaff had a secret deal with our government that allowed the U.S. to conduct "secret" raids and drone strikes inside of Pakistan. So, the money that was sent to Pakistan is what resulted in the death of most of al Qaeda's leadership, including Bin Laden's. Without Pakistan's cooperation, the al Qaeda and Talban leaders would have been able to rest comfortably in Pakistan until the U.S. decided to pull our troops out of Afghanistan.

So, put your crazy talking points down and tell us what should have been done to allow us access into Afghanistan. Tell us what you would have done, had you been in the shoes of Bush and Obama? (Hint: Afghanistan is a land-locked country with no beach front property - a naval landing was not an option.)

Sounds awesome... lets do it.
