Why are we in Afghanistan? Here’s why.

     My wife Janice and I are in Washington, D.C. visiting old haunts (she is a veteran of the city, too, having served as Deputy Chief Counsel of the Republican National Committee), and I’m preparing for CPAC and the American Conservative Union Board meeting later today.

Benches pointing to the Pentagon each memorialize a person killed on the plane.  Benches pointing out from the Pentagon memorialize a person killed inside the Pentagon during the 9/11 attack on our country.
