4:35Now Playing"Marking a significant shift in public opinion after more than 12 years of war, Americans are as likely to say sending troops to Afghanistan was a mistake as they are to say it was not, a Gallup survey found Wednesday.
Public opinion is split -- 49 percent think the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Afghanistan in 2001, while 48 percent do not. When the question was first asked in November 2001, 9 percent thought it was a mistake, while 89 percent did not."
Cenk Uygur () host of The Young Turks discusses the poll of Americans' opinion on the Afghanistan War, and how President Obama feels about the war. Do you think the war in Afghanistan was a mistake from the beginning? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.
We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.
The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
