      I’m all for getting out of Afghanistan yesterday—but there’s really no reason we have be involved here. Obama re-legitimized the Taliban by setting them up in Qatar. Just walk away. https://thehill.com/policy/defense/516122-taliban-afghanistan-launch-us-brokered-peace-talks …

      One of the ironies of the Bush years is that the "good" war, in Afghanistan, is the one we lost. In Iraq, at least, we got everything we went to war for: Saddam's regime is gone, & every threat it posed is gone with it. In Afghanistan, Al Qaeda's partners will return to the govt.

          It's not just optimistic, it's revisionist I'm the extreme - and I supported it at the time

          Great victory in Iraq indeed, we handed it over to ISIS and empowered Iran. Sadam was a bad human but he kept that region in check.

          Uh we went to war in Iraq to disarm a regime with WMD (they had none) and to plant democracy in the middle east to spread like kudzu (that, uh, didn't happen)

          It only cost 1/2 million Iraqis lives. And it was illegal. Sadaam never attacked the US, nor did he have any intention of attacking the US. Iraq was also an anchor against Iran. Other than that, it was a good war
