What was it's purpose ? As the report says it had something for everyone under the Christmas tree eventually.
Most could realitively easily been achieved by cutting off the funders for it and making the neighbouring countrys ensure not a lot in or out. Course when you look at who was supporting the Taliban and Al Qaeda then it could have been done relatively easily by just freezing their bank accounts in the west, taking their assets and waiting.
Instead invade, screw up and never leave to be repeated in Iraq and elsewhere and the nation behind it just sends people to be trained at Pcola where they kill some more people.
