Could it be true???? Quien Sabe, GWB The U.S. Government Lied For Two Decades About Afghanistan Using the same deceitful tactics they pioneered in Vietnam, U.S. political and military officials repeatedly misled the country about the prospects for success in Afghanistan. Glenn Greenwald “The Taliban regime is coming to an end,” announced President George W. Bush at the National Museum of Women in the Arts on December 12, 2001 — almost twenty years ago today. Five months later, Bush vowed: “In the United States of America, the terrorists have chosen a foe unlike they have faced before. . . . We will stay until the mission is done.” Four years after that, in August of 2006, Bush announced: “Al Qaeda and the Taliban lost a coveted base in Afghanistan and they know they will never reclaim it when democracy succeeds. . . . The days of the Taliban are over. The future of Afghanistan belongs to the people of Afghanistan.” For two decades, the message Americans heard from their political and military leaders about the country’s longest war was the same. America is winning. The Taliban is on the verge of permanent obliteration https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-us-government-lied-for-two-decades

The military complex needs wars and conflicts to keep the cash flowing. They buy politicians, they buy generals, and they buy support from academic Think Tanks who write the reasons and architecture for making war.
As Rene50 would say....Follow the money 💰

We need to get back to the constitution where only congress can declare war. Outlaw these 'police actions' like Nam, Afghanistan, Korea, and any other undeclared war. Then, when it is declared, we go give it all we've got to win it and come home. In these illegal wars, nearly 85k American troops have died needlessly.

There’s plenty enough scchitt going down in the world to test out our newest and best war creations and to use up the old without putting American lives at risk for nothing.
At least in Korea we got a line drawn across the country for all to see the stark differences between the north and south of it.
