Terrorist Nitwits: Why Bill Maher is Wrong

I no longer believe we should maintain troops in Afghanistan. We blew it, Dubya dug too deep a hole and we cannot go back in time.

The cost is too great in a time when we need to refocus on our priorities.

Nonetheless, I still oppose claims from folks like Bill Maher who claim that it is a waste of time to wipe out terrorist training camps in Afghanistan. Yes, these cells exist everywhere (or rather, in many places scattered across the globe), but they are more dangerous when they feel safe and able to operate in the open. To buttress my case, I offer "The Case for Calling them Nitwits."

These guys are often really dumb and they need much more training than they can get from secret cells in Western countries.
