Bush told everybody it would be a 17 year thing? I don’t remember that. What I do remember is Bush speaking against nation building when he was running for office, that was before he went all in on nation building. I realize that we need to deal with what we have started. I just don’t think get a warm and fuzzy about starting more. Besides, Trump did say he would get us out of Syria.
I don't remember that. You're making things up. Bush was warning about leaving Iraq too early as late as 2007 and he was right about that.
The Iraq had 90% support. It was near 100% among Republicans and conservatives. Pat Buchanan is the only prominent conservative that opposed it.
It's easy to be self-righteous in hindsight.
Only after ISIS was eradicated. And, absolutely made the destruction of ISIS a prominent campaign promise.
Conservatives and Republicans absolutely believe in peace through strength and strong military action when it is in our national security.
And, yes, what we did in Afghanistan was absolutely the right thing to do, including staying there and having a base of operation to fight Islamic terrorism that threatened and continues to threaten the nation.
