What was even the point of all this? I grew up, was a youngster during 911.
Other than making a handful of people money, none of this made sense. The wars in Irak Afghanistan were very costly to the US. I guess people in Irak can vote now, that’s about it.
The wars were costly to the American taxpayers and soldiers (and their families). But it was very lucrative if you were invested in Halliburton, Blackrock, etc. Huge, huge transfer of wealth with almost no accounting done.
Cheney was the progenitor of the unitary executive theory that has allowed Donald Trump to fully realize fascism in the US.
