The forgotten back story: the unnecessary Iraq intervention wrecked a contained country, ruined the United States (and the Republican Party) and created a de facto Iranian satellite. The unnecessary land war in Afghanistan--Al Qaeda and the Taliban should have been aerially obliterated within hours or days of 9/11 by any and all means necessary--had no chance of ending well given CNN rules of engagement, idiotic "nation building" and, above all, Washington's refusal to destroy the enemy's cross-border sanctuaries in Pakistan, the (nuclear armed) nation that invented and sustained the Taliban and aided and sheltered Al Qaeda and its chief. The unnecessary Libya intervention--on the side of Islamists--has proved to be a blessing for Al Qaeda and its sympathizers, including groups in Syria that were apparently receiving Libyan arms with covert American and Turkish assistance before the massacre of four Americans in Benghazi, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
