I still don't think it was a "pointless war," I think it was pointless rules of engagement.

I posted at the time that I agreed with the "Bush Doctrine" of fighting Islamic terrorists as a military action over there instead of fighting them as a police action over here.

Just look at how the Left has "progressed" to defunding the police today. Imagine how they would have reacted to engaging terror cells running rampant across America in 2001-2004 and beyond? We even had liberal defense lawyers smuggling messages to jailed terrorists back then.

It was best to pick a ground, whether it be Afghanistan or Iraq, and let that be the magnet for drawing the enemy in, instead of waiting for them to make the second move in Boston or Chicago or Miami or Los Angeles, or Indianapolis or Dallas or Salt Lake City or Tulsa.

Then what does Bush do? Brings thousands of Muslims here who eventually became radicalized, if they already weren't before they came here.
