In 2009, VP Biden wanted the US to move away from a large scale military presence & to instead utilize CIA/JSOC forces and drones to conduct targeted operations. He argued that was more in line with the 2001 AUMF than an occupation. In the end, Obama did both. — PolitiTweet.org

In a historical sense, this is an indictment of the Afghanistan policies of the Obama White House and raises the question of what the point was of continuing the occupation all these years. — PolitiTweet.org
