Actually, the war could have been won under Bush. They had a meat grinder operation going and were killing terrorists as fast as they could be recruited and sent in. We should have never shut that down.
“killing terrorists as fast as they could be recruited and sent in.”
This was the reality.
Between 2003 and December of 2008, roughly 34,000 xelxQaedaz were killed in xiraqx alone. Their mission was to kill us.
Ultimately however, our purpose for being in xiraqx was strategic. It was to get between xiranx and everyone due west of the xPersianx Gulf, and to temporarily impact Moscow’s reestablishment of geopolitical power throughout the region.
IN “ America’s Victiries”, using Iraqi morgue statistics I calculated between 2001-2006 in Iraq and Afghanistan we killed, wounded, or caltured 125,000 terrorists-—and that is the low estimate. Given that these are deaths we could prove (not guys vaporized, dead in mountains or deserts where we couldn’t see them, or not brought into morgues at all), the likelihood is that the number is much higher-—at least double.
