The actual war only lasted a couple of weeks and was probably cheaper than obama's bombing campaigns of peace.

We the people must learn to reject the rationalizations from the govt and media... including foreign aid.

Here's a new concept: why don't we let the people of the Mideast solve their own problems, and when they boil it down to one winner, we'll know exactly who we need to face!

Screw Amerika Inc.!!

I'm down with that....better yet mind our own business and quit being hit-men for the central banking industry.

What I saw almost immediately was trouble figuring out who the enemy was. We knew within a day or two of the 9/11 attacks that it was al-Qaida, a terrorist network that had a headquarters element, if you would call it that, or a chairman of the board in Osama Bin Laden. And they were operating out of Afghanistan.

But that's not who we ended up fighting most of the time. Sure, we went after al-Qaida at times. But we ended up fighting the Taliban, which were Pashtun people in Afghanistan who were trying to run that country. We evicted them in 2001. And we ended up fighting Sunni Arab insurgents in Iraq, who again — although they might make common cause with al-Qaida — those weren't the guys who attacked us on 9/11.


Yep. This retired general kind of throws cold-water on Markle's and Pace Dogs justifications for the idiotic war in Iraq.

It's a generational war wordslinger. My kids and your grandkids will fight it. History will determine if it was won.

Thanks. At least you no longer claim we won the war, which we're evidently still fighting.

But, why are we still fighting there? Do you care whether it's al Qaida, ISIS or the Sunnis or Shias run the place? None of the above should be counted as friends of America!!

We kicked their tail in every battle. That was the WAR part. Nation-building is not the job of the military. The diplomats eat that failure.
