Can’t be. When the educrats told us that the Iraq war was taking longer to win than WWII, they insisted that World War II began on December 7th, 1941. That’s more than a year later than this article is dated.
They also omit the detail that the war was ended with two nuclear bomb attacks.
Another thing they like to harp on about is why American troops are still in Iraq.
My answer is always: "American troops are still in Germany".
And if you consider the Japanese invasions of China, the war started years ago from this date in 1940.
This thing did not start overnight. I know YOU know that, but others might want to think back to around the time of 9/11 s the starting dates. And consider that the US would still be out of the direct war until NEXT December, and then not fully engaged for another six months or so from that date.
