So, these countries are just going to let you cruise around their country with Special Ops, copters, drones, and HUMVEES chasing terrorists like bounty hunters?

A-ghan was a broken country at the time. I think that the poster is saying that we could have chased them all out of A-ghan. We probably could have also conducted direct action strikes just a bit inside Paki and Saddam's Iraqi borders, also.

This seems to me to be a viable course of action (COA) at the time, combined with continued suppression of Saddam's Iraq.
