Actually, IIRC, we were told the Afghanistan war was important because of the Talibans threat to us.

Yes, that was part of it. Of course. AND we were going to help bring democracy.

It undermines one of our stated goals, sure, but that particular goal was bunk from the outset.

Not at all, you have just evidently decided it is relevant now that the President is a Democrat.

I don't think that urinating on a dead body reflects well on anyone.

Apparently the Taliban aren't too put out by it. They're still willing to negotiate and talk.
