My thoughts: It stopped having anything to do with the devastating attacks on this country that happened on 9/11 {Iraq never was about}, which is still used as the purpose after the main objective of the invasion and occupation was to capture or kill those that carried out the attacks, they still exist, on this country and other countries of the criminal terrorism that knows no borders, as the drums of War and the Focus turned onto the innocent people of Iraq and the brutal Dictator we helped install and supported for years!
Invading and Occupying Iraq left Afghanistan unsecured, after the downfall of the Taliban, the placement of U.S. friendlies in control of the Government, and the scattering of al Qaeda, the name of a now phantom group and ideology any can use as an umbrella to organize under, the proclaimed guilty criminal terror organization that carried out 9/11, as it took the needed soldiers, and especially the promised rebuilding monies, from Winning the Hearts and Minds of the Afghans to the destruction of another country, and people, Iraq!
We are now into the ninth year, Afghanistan, spreading into Pakistan, and well into the seventh year, Iraq!
