you can’t find too many people on FR that will admit that they believed at the time that the GWoT was justified.
I wanted to do something at the time. The main thing I wanted done was Trump's closed-door immigration policy. That didn't happen. I also wanted any muslims travelling in airports to get extra sceeening. G.W. Bush, however, kept Norm Mineta on as head of the TSA, so that didn't happen either. If I knew then what I know now, I probably would wish an incompetent NWO boob like Bush had not done anything. His attempt to make the world safe for democracy failed.
There’s no such thing as a ‘War on Terror’. Was the WW2 war with Japan a ‘War on Sneak Attacks’?
GW Bush was a cowardly Saudi tool out to make Ted Kennedy’s dream of a Third World America a reality.
What “retaliation”?
George Bush did Iran a great favor by invading Iraq and taking out their No 1 enemy
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, home of the 911 culprits, got off Scott free. Some “retaliation”
WOT was a "war" on what exactly? We could have declared war on Taliban, Al Qaeda,Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Hell for arguments sake Iraq but we didn't. I do know the Constitution was declared war on as we see today and we imported millions of Islamic sympathizers (enough to put two Congress idiots in Congress) since 9/11. WTH thought the WOT would still be going on and those not born on 9/11 will soon fight WOT? BTW, AOC can go FOAD.
I was on fr from before 9/11. I supported the freezing of Afghanistan. I wasn’t and am not happy with the war to oust Saddam. That was a mistake in my opinion. It would have been better to take on Pakistan after Afghanistan
