The issue with the war is there was no defined goal. The Taliban and Afghanistan was not a threat to the United States. It still isn't. The enemy was a stateless terrorist organization that is funded by our "allies". If this was truly about fighting back, those bombs would have been dropped over other countries.

Bernie supported the resolution when first introduced and then said it was a mistake much later. Therefore, if he had to do it all over again, he would not have support the resolution to attack the Taliban & AQ in Afghanistan back in 2001. Are you disputing this?
Your second paragraph is weird. Initially (which is what we are talking about), there obviously was a defined goal. Taliban & AQ were clearly a threat to the US (like how you left out AQ). This was truly about fighting back against "who attacked us militarily".
Direct question to you - would you have supported the Afghan resolution when first introduced in 2001? I think the answer is no because you have said the only war you would have supported was WW2 but just want to confirm that you have the same position as that atheist, deadbeat dad.
