Here’s my thoughts........

1. I never agreed with the invasion of Iraq. Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 and none of the hijackers were Iraqi. Most were Saudis. We should have invaded Saudi Arabia, taken over the country and that means all their oil wells. Not a thing the Saudis could have done about it. Getting back to Iraq, at any time since Saddam Hussein was installed as ruler of Iraq the CIA could have taken him out and replaced him with another puppet (precisely what he was for years). Saddam had generals that hated him. It would not have been hard to kill him. That was not in the interest of the US so it never happened. Only when he got too big for his britches and wouldn’t take orders did he have to go. But even then, the CIA could have taken him out. I think the invasion of Iraq was because George Jr. listended to certain people about his father having the chance to take out Saddam and never did. So after a trillion dollars wasted and thousands of thousands of Americans killed I’m certain he thinks he he made the right decision, who knows. I only know that I thought it was a bad decision. I also think he was influenced big time by the warmongering, draft-dodging leftist neocons who think there’s nothing wrong with American soldiers dying as long as “democracy” is brought to another country. Which is nothing in the world but a pipe-dream, especially in the Middle East.

2. After 9/11 the US Special Forces could have covertly been sent to Afganistan or any other area of the world to weed out pockets of “terrorists” and kill them. No fanfare needed, no invasion of other countries needed. But the first thing I would have done in Afganistan is turn the country into a parking lot. The entire country. It’s easier to find someone if they have no where to hide.
