There was no way we could leave Al Qaeda safe and sound in Afghanistan.

There were plenty of ways to get Al Qaeda out of Afghanistan without invading.
Invasion created up a whole new problem, one that was unrelated to Al Qaeda.
We are now involved in trying to occupy an area that has never been occupied successfully, not by the Soviets, not by the British Empire, not by Alexander the Great. When George W. Bush attempted something that Alexander the Great failed at the outcome was pretty much determined.
Obama thought that a little more force could change the picture, at least long enough for us to pretend to have won, he was wrong.
