    1) I'm not sure how to make people remember or care that 15 years ago the United States invaded Iraq, setting off a war that continues to this day, with several hundred thousand Iraqis dead, millions turned into refugees. I covered the invasion for the New York Times Magazine.

    What’s happening in Buffalo is wild. The mayor barely campaigned, refused to debate Walton & lost the primary. Now he’s trying to sue his way back into power w help from GOP & real estate moguls. “Brown’s entire gambit is to get a second bite at the apple”

    Few were closer or profited more from disinformation on Afghanistan and Iraq than two U.S. military generals in particular: Lloyd Austin, who is now secretary of defense, and David Petraeus, one of the most lauded military figures of the past 20 years.

    Parts of "The Afghanistan Papers" read like passages from "Catch-22." Suicide bombings increase in Kabul? That's because the Taliban are "too weak to engage in direct combat." More U.S. soldiers killed? That's because they are "taking the fight to the enemy."

    There was 360 degrees of deceit at all levels of the U.S. military in Afghanistan, throughout the war, under Democratic and Republican administrations. National Security council staff member: "The metrics were always manipulated for the duration of the war."

    Tfw the U.S. military provided life-saving medical treatment to Abdul Rashid Dostum, the corrupt Afghan warlord who everyone agreed was a war criminal (but he fought against the Taliban, so that made him okay).

    Ever hear the one about the U.S. aid program to teach hand-washing in Afghanistan, where people wash their hands five times a day before praying?

    A State Department official was sharply criticized by the U.S. military for doubting the wisdom of building a highway in a hostile district in Kandahar. "We were supposed to build roads in an area so dangerous that armed U.S. military helicopters could not even land near it."

    This, totally. Been thinking the same for a while.

    Sometimes I hear people suggest Bush should've poured the troops into Afg in 2003 that he did into Iraq. There was barely a Taliban insurgency in '03. The missteps of the small, SOF-heavy force in Afg then were enough to fan its flames—what would 10+ infantry brigades have done?

    Cars should be banned on school streets. For safety, and for sanity. Leave it for buses & accessibility vehicles.

    1/8 20 years ago, I heard about 9/11 on the radio in Afghanistan. At 18, I couldn’t imagine buildings so tall or why someone would kill so many people. Soon after, I was sold to the US & sent to . 8 years later, when I saw video of 9/11 for the first time,
