Dick Cheney is an ignoramus for creating our torture program....... the reason why the Taliban is torturing hundreds of Americans as we speak.

I agree. Cheney was hired by Haliburton to lobby his friends in Washington DC to lift sanctions on Libya, Iraq and the Stans. They did lift sanctions on Libya
, but not on Iraq or the Stans and Iraq in particular was desperate for reserve management services.. Any oil man would know why.

Cheney didn't know anything about the oil business. He botched it. Maybe he was trying to prove himself, but he sure pushed the US into the invasion of Iraq.

Cheney, Bremer, Brennan, Clapper.......all those clowns had a hand in where we are as a nation with a growing police state and surveillance state and shaped the world by and large.

They know Afghanistan is a defense contractor boondoggle as well as a strategic military base location ( eastern front of Iran )

Lol. Nope. We have been monitoring Russian embassies world wide since the 1960s. Trump just didn't know that when he kept calling from Trump Tower trying to get a back channel to the Kremlin.

None of this has anything to do with Trump.

That's true. It's been standard operating procedure since the 1960s.
We should have bought their oil peacefully instead of going to war over it.

I'm talking about Northern Africa, the Middle East , Venezuela southeast Asia and wherever else.

I think they go back a little farther than that with the Brits.

The oil business hates a war zone. It's NEVER paid off. In Iraq it basically shut down production for a decade . Remember that when the jackasses blabber about taking Syria's oil or any other such stupidity.

The Taliban has no history of terrorist attacks. They stay in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
And that excuses what they are doing to women, does it, Islamist?

Our stupidity was in trusting our government not to make deals behind our backs.

They don't have to carry out terrorist attacks when they let al Qaeda and ISIS use their country for training, much like they did for 9/11.

Now enjoy your next terrorist attack. I guarantee it won't be in my neighborhood.

Most of those guys moved to Yemen.

There is no question that 'W' screwed the pooch getting us into Afghanistan. But now with Biden's massive failure, that country will be the new mecca for Terrorism which will come back to bite us. Al Qaeda now has an incubator and a partner with which to grow. Here comes the new Caliphate courtesy of Biden's Bungling.

Arabs don't want a new caliphate. The last one was a real dud.

Afghanistan has been a nightmare since 1974 when the Afghani communists overthrew the monarchy.
~~~~~~
You have a shallow image of history. Seems even Alexander the great had a difficult time in Afghanistan.
The Brits gave up and walked away in the 19th century too.

Syria has no oil. They peaked in 1994...and what they do have is very poor quality. Nobody told Trump when he claimed he took their oil.
~~~~~~
Once again you have inserted your foot in mouth. The ISIS war in Syria is more about the proposed oil pipeline to Europe, Iran seeks to control it and Asaad stands in the way.

Nope. Syria isn't about gas pipelines. Too much sabotage. It's all been done before. Remember tapeline?
