Maybe we've also forgotten that while on the brink of achieving their goals in Afghanistan they backed off, to go into Iraq.
Or maybe we've also forgotten that the Taliban offered bin Laden up and were refused.
To be fair, there are an awful lot of things we could be accused of forgetting. 47,000 Afghan civilians dead, that's an easy one to forget too.
