Many years ago, I enjoyed going up in the World Trade Center. Now the World Trade Center is gone.
The news media is doing their best to make big of the 10 year anniversary.
Before 911, we had a budget surplus. Now we are hugely in debt.
The military had a chance to be updated properly after the procurement holidays of the post Cold War. That opportunity has been thrown away on poorly thought out foreign wars including money wasted on contracted war support and nation building. Today's military still needs a lot of improvement.
The wars. I knew the mission was in trouble early-on when we wasted transport aircraft dropping food to civilians who had no purpose in aiding the punitive-mission nature of the conflict.
We started out with small-troops backed by precision air support. Then, got lost and idiots decided it had to be nation-building. This is a wasted effort with tribal societies that don't understand the concept of a central government. Nation building had nothing to do with the original justification for war.
President Bush stated the whole post-911 mission was to get Osama. Just a few months later that changed. He stated it was no longer important.
Bush told us Islam was a religion of peace. Proof shows otherwise. We shouldn't expect much from someone that states “humans and fish” can live together.
911 was caused by poor airport and airline security. It was also caused by poor control of people that have over-stayed their visa. Today, the airport security is partially figured out and the government continues to give preference to illegals.
Operation(s): USELESS DIRT provide no valid defense to the United States. And those wars eat up $2-3 billion per week. Now that a different political party is in charge, media coverage of anti-war protesting gets minimized. I wonder why?
Osama may be gone, but we aren't winning. The reason for that is that there is no sensible leadership that can properly define national security.
