“Start two……wars for no reason”.So attacking Afghanistan, who was providing safety for the group of terrorists that killed 3000 Americans on 9/11 was for “No Reason”???Must be nice to change historical facts as you please. Huh, Robbie?
I would think we are smart enough not to have to invade a country to get at the terrorists, especially after the Russians did it and got their butts kicked. We did the same thing in Viet Nam after the French got their butts kicked. There are militant Muslim groups scattered in many countries that lack strong governments. Should we invade all of them too? At a trillion dollars a pop, we really will go bankrupt which is exactly what they are trying to accomplish.
Two main problems: one is that you can’t make people like you better by killing them and their relatives.
The other is the daft idea of “fighting them over there so we won’t have to fight them over here.” If we fought them over here, we wouldn’t have had to spend funds we don’t have by shipping large amounts of heavy equipment halfway around the world. The question is, would they have been willing to do the same in order to bring their war to us?
Another issue is that we want to go home, and they’re already home. In that situation, they always have the advantage of waiting us out. They HAVE to be there. We never did.
The terrorists were already dead. The answer was to go after bin Ladin, try him and fry him, and move on.
Cheney the chickenhawk in his secure undisclosed location. He’s the worst abuser of our military in U.S. history, along with his mentor Rumsfeld. Unwarranted deaths and wars (going back to the FORD administration!) by these clowns, Grenada, Central America, and many countries around the world, some undisclosed actions, of Darth Cheney and Rummy. As Secretary of Defense, Presidential advisor, and for Cheney as Vice President (otherwise known as the real decision maker 98% of the time), the worst decision maker ever, except for himself and his companies, and buddies…
Don’t worry, he’s never cringed at wiping blood off money, he’s got a servant for that. Those lobbyists just keep on running!

@ConserveGov
3000 is less than a third of how many Americans kill each other each year because of inane gun laws. Who’s being attacked for that?

Thank goodness the hijackers didn’t visit visit the United States and have the United States stamped on their passports then.

Maybe the President doesn’t own thousands of shares in Halliburton?

Wars that were also not on the books until Obama accounted for them in his budgets. Silly Obama.
