Do our politicians so readily forget our past adventures in the Middle East?
We armed ignorant, 8th Century Afghans to force Russia out of Afghanistan and created the Taliban and Al Qaeda. We drove the Shah out of Iran and ended up with extremists running the government. We refused to back Mubarak and ended up with the Muslim Brotherhood.
And now, in order to save face, our Caver-In-in-Chief wants Congress to give their approval to intervene in a nation made up of a variety of groups who despise one another? And most who despise the USA and all Western Culture.
At what point to the idiots learn? And stop?
