Merits of war in Afghanistan beg questions

(UNEDITED) On 9/11/2001 Arab hijackers from Al Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden sliced 8 pilot's throats and used the commercial aircraft to attack America. The DJIA closed down 7% at 9605.51 as a result. On Oct 7 the "Shock and Awe" campaign in Afghanistan began; 8 years later Osama is nowhere to be found and on 9/11/2009 the DJIA closed at 9605.51 again. On Jan 5, 2008 Barack Obama was interviewd on Chicago radio by Roland Martin and asked the first thing he would do as President; he said "I will bring the troops home in a responsible manner, and initiate negotiations between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds toward peace". In June 2009, Obama, raised Sunni Muslim, now a professed Christian proclaimed "A new beginning for Islam, accepted Sunni Islam's highest award "King Abdul Aziz Order of Merit" and watches on as Mossad Chief Meir Dagan received approval from the HQ of Sunni Islam, Saudi Arabia for Israel i attacks through their airspace on underground uranium enrichment facilities at Qom which happens to be the Holiest Shiite Islam Shrine in Iran.

Afghanistan's leader Hamid Karzai, a Pastun and Iran's leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Birth name is Saborjian which is Hebrew for "Cloth Weaver"), both claim to be descendants of Tribes of Israel, yet are adherents of Sunni and Shiite Islam respectively and both men are now being investigated for recent vote fraud. Obama is also being investigated for eligibility to hold office, 25% of US sorties in Afghanistan are now being flown remotely by pilotless Drones as some say the commercial jets on 9/11 were, 96% of the world's heroin is coming from Afghanistan and Obama is asking Congress for 40,000 additional troops. Anything wrong with this picture?
