Still dumb tho. Absolutely nothing we were told about Iraq was true. No WMD. No 9-11 link. No imminent threat. Even the "gassing his own people" thing was bullshit. Reagan gave Hussein the gas to use against Iran and anyone else who gave him problems. Know who delivered the gas? Rumsfeld. Again, bin Laden was in Afghanistan when we went there, we let him slip away because of Iraq. We went to Afghanistan to get bin Laden and to disrupt a safe haven. Bin Laden's been dead for years. As for Vietnam, it was over-adherence to NSC-68, in which the U.S. pledged to combat communism "anywhere and everywhere" and "at any level". NSC-68 got us into Korea and it got us into Vietnam (first "advisors" sent by Eisenhower) --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. <cite>brestugo posted [p:952864225] in Rank Vietn...
