Now you've changed your tune on Afghanistan and Iraq, nobody ever said the US was cost efficient in war time. Afghanistan was NEVER defined as lets go kill Bin Laden, that was just a portion of the effort. The goal was to remove the Taliban and instill a leadership more in line with the West. Goal achieved.
BTW, I'm not concerned with whether you like the US or not, just keep the facts straight.

Bulls..t... The Russians beat you to Berlin and after that the race was for control of northern Germany. I've changed no tune...the only time you can call the war in Afghanistan a success is when the government you put into power successfully controls the country without your help and get Osama. The same for Iraq. Until then you have done nothing.
