Yeah right, a partisan rant is fair I guess.
BTW history may say the Iraq war deposed one of the worst dictators of
the 20th century and Afghanistan accomplished nothing ... at about the
same price.
Gosh, it's a good thing Idi Amin didn't have oil under his country.
You notice that since Clinton got his nose bloodied in Africa we are
not really doing much war making there.
Oh, if Idi would have had oil to offer in large quantities in the
middle east, he'd have been GW Bush's target.
My point is that it had nothing whatsoever to do with toppling a
dictator and everything to do with what lives under that sand and
where that sand exists on the planet.
Mentioning that we toppled a dictator is humorous and disingenuous.
It was a tangible result. Everything else in both wars is political
posturing and massive killings of innocents.
Afghanistan will go down in history as the American war with the worst
rate of collateral damage..
And lying. Don't forget the lying about Iraq, and the willful neglect in
Afg.
Really? The worst? I would say WW2, but I'm just adding up the score of
course.
