    If we had only invaded Afghanistan, I could understand it. But Iraq, as I said at the time, had absolutely nothing to do with it, and it was bullshit.

        No “we” don’t. A very small minority whom have been gerrymandered to such an extreme to give the frauds who have taken over our government with their bribes the power to enact these policies.

      We didn’t need to invade any damn whole country, we have multiple special teams that train precisely for hunting and gathering. The govt of Iraq and the poppy fields of Afghanistan needed freedom though, so we went hot after the Saudis attacked us.

      Murican capitalism war hooah!

        You’re not wrong, we didn’t get bin Laden until we sent one of those special teams into the territory of an"ally".
