Regardless of party, the defense policy of this country has stopped short of total victory like World War 2.
Iran was behind those IED’s when W Bush was president and Iran got off without consequences for it.
Pakistan’s intelligence agency created the Taliban in Afghanistan that gave Bin Laden his base of operations.
Drones are no substitute for victory anywhere including Israel’s situation in Gaza today.
Limited no win police wars from Korea to Vietnam and the ones since are not the answer for the US or Israel.
I agree with your comments. I will say that I am not as up to date on the Taliban creation as you seem to be, having been created by Pakistan’s intelligence agency.
