This portion of the video is about an hour long, but concisely and engagingly shows how the Bush administration fabricated the power and reach of the "al-Qaeda terrorist network" (really nothing more than a rag-tag group of criminals) so they could justify an enormous military response...not only in Afghanistan (where we haven't completed the job for 7 years now) but also in Iraq (who had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, but now plays host to the US-invented "al-Qaeda in Iraq").
Doesn't it seem strange that we need a constant force of 150,000 troops, almost as many civilian contractors, and expenditures over $500 million per day to chase down some guys with AK-47s? I thought we're the greatest military power in the entire world? Why is the job still unfinished 7 years later?
