Wow. Perfect duplication of right wing rationalization that advocated what we now call Vietnam. Gen Curtis LeMay even insisted that we would "bomb them back into the stone age". I would have thought that by now, Americans were too smart to post this stuff. But then right wing extremism, promoting an agenda, returns alive and well.

It is a long ago proven concept. Posted here so often and yet still some remain in denial. Planning for the peace is so essential as to start before war begins. And yet America, run by radical extremists, invades two nations and maintains only a military occupation. We did almost nothing to promote rebuilding of both nations. Some here even tried to claim rebuilding was ongoing all over Iraqi - when in reality so little was accomplished (but Haliburton got rich). Almost no rebuilding in Iraq was organized for seven months – thank you Bremmer and George Jr.

George Jr said repeatedly, "Americans do not do nation building." Such stupidity would recruit for the Taliban and would create a massive insurgency in Iraq. But again, "learning lessons from history" must be reposted again, and again, and again. No planning for the peace only creates more war. Listening to an idiot who says "Americans do not do nation building" is begging to make more enemies. Advocating same nonsense that Curtis LeMay advocated in Vietnam means deja vue complete with an American president who lies repeatedly and who should be considered for impeachment.
