“To those asking for a third decade of war in Afghanistan, I ask: What is the vital national interest?"

"To deny terrorists a safe space."
The two decades of no 9/11s was the achievement.
He can't argue that the terror organisation which just killed 150 people doesn't exist.
A third decade of no more 9/11s would have been another decade of success.
Instead, he's shut his eyes and said no one will see me now. But they will. AQ and the Islamic State see you and they plan to kill you. And us. Wherever we are. They don't care. Now they can easily fly to America, buy a gun and shoot 1,000 rounds at a crowd of people at a music festival.
Who cares if he hunts them down afterwards? Then the event has already happened.
