"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."
