What the some 40 countries are supposed to be doing in Afghanistan is just about anyone's guess. First, post 9/11 it was to eradicate those terrorists. Now, it's to bring stability to the country and protect the West from terrorists. What terrorists? Good question.
Over to none other than the CIA Chief himself to reveal all.....as reported on abc BostonMed:
"In an EXCLUSIVE interview on “This Week,” CIA Director Leon Panetta told host Jake Tapper that there were “at most” only 50-100 Al Qaeda in Afghanistan.
“How many Al Qaeda, do you think, are in Afghanistan?” Tapper asked.
“I think the estimate on the number of Al Qaeda is actually relatively small,” Panetta said. “At most, we’re looking at 50 to 100, maybe less. It’s in that vicinity. There’s no question that the main location of Al Qaeda is in the tribal areas of Pakistan.”
So, all that loss of life, upheaval of people, injuries to locals and the military and huge cost....is directed to some 50-100 Al Qaeda people? Astounding.
