If you remember I was against the Iraq War, but the Afghan War is a different story. According to information that just came out, I think from a former CIA agent, Khalid Sheikh Muhammad said he never expected Bush to declare war on the Taliban and Al Qaeda. He thought Bush was going to treat 9/11 as a police matter, and with that in mind he planned several more large attacks in the United States. Bush stopped him from doing that.
