I don't think President bush made the decision to withdraw from Afghanistan after the Soviets decided they couldn't win and left.

This withdrawal was hardly the only factor in bringing about the rise of the Taliban and its subsequent rule in Afghanistan. Blame for that state of affairs (or credit, however you want to look at it), can be given to Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.

They had elections there today for the first time in their history. Is Kerry supportive of this? Not if Bush had anything to do with it. His only hope of being elected is to declare everything bush did was WRONG. Good show Kerry, win those allies and international respect.

Do you have any actual quotes from Kerry on this subject, or are you just putting your own words into his mouth?
