>>508484876>The mistake Bush made was executing it badly.This, he made a lot of mistakes in both Iraq and Afghanistan, specifically in regards to Afghanistan mainly which was then left to languish in an unfinished state by Obama. Iraq could have gone better but the reality is the US reached Baghdad and removed Saddam's government within less than one month, I find it bizarre that normies consider Iraq a 'loss' for the US. Who won it then? Saddam? The guy who had his entire military destroyed and was removed power?
In any case everyone was silly to think the GWOT ended in 2008. Christopher Hitchens was right when he said the conflict will go on for the rest of our lives because it's part of a much broader historical Islamic conflict.
