If we can leave Iraq, where there's probably more al-Qaeda today than in Afghanistan thanks to Dubya's Folly, why not do the same in Afghanistan? There's no excuse. But the Pres. seems to actually believe all this stuff about it being the "good war". Tell that to Alexander the Great, the Brits and the late Soviets.
