Afghanistan had "terrorists" when we invaded. Afghanistan had real connections to OBL and by extension 9/11. While there isn't much al Qaeda in Iraq any more (if any, most is in Pakistan), what's left would be out goal. We do that by sending 2 more brigades to Afghanistan, per Obama's plan.
Pakistan is something Bush has really refused to do. I can't even recall him saying anything about any plans. Obama has mentioned very clearly the use of military force to strike al Qadea targets in Pakistan. No invasion (that would be insane), but military options.
