It was the worst diplomatic and military disaster in the history of the
United States, from beginning to end, and any who willingly took part in
it should be ashamed of themselves until their dying day. There's
certainly enough blame to go around at the highest political and military
levels of both political parties.

It was a war waged with nothing more on our side but ego and arrogance.
What were we doing there? We were backing up one penny ante right-wing
dictator after another.
