we should not have spent all this time, obviously. the morons in the white house and congress who put us in this position made a mistake. making more mistakes on top of that doesn't make it any more palatable. we have wasted lives, ruined others, and spent billions upon billions for a country worth millions. some precision strikes at the taliban would have served a similar purpose without all the cost in blood and money. over ten years later, we're still doing what exactly?

Preaching to the saved...Said a million times, in and out in one year, wipe out the terrorist camps, rout the Taliban, run down and kill bin laden and we are done...never happened...here's why..


Ten years ago today: President George W. Bush declared at a news conference that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was a menace "and we're going to deal with him," and said Osama bin Laden had been reduced to as marginal figure in the war on terror.

How did that work out...
