    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Joseph J Collins

    For those of us who supported the Iraq War for reasons that were not primarily WMD-driven, part of the concept was replacing hostile with friendly regimes on both sides of Iran. The Iranians saw the same thing & fought back, & we blinked.https://twitter.com/josephcollins77/status/1113431494645698560 …

    Gen Petraeus also complained about Iran's efforts in Afghanistan when he was our commander there. Their Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFPs) were devastating. Put this treachery on the list of what we owe them. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1113242644245819396 …

        The issue for me was always how it was fought. Not so much the why once we were there. And that was a disaster

        So the thought was instead of one Iraq, we should have two iraqs cause twice the fun

        Given the Shiite population of Iraq the certitude of Iranian efforts to pull the country into their orbit should’ve been accounted for before hostilities commenced
