How about carelessly bombing hundreds of innocent civilians with drones in countries you're not officially at war with, concocting dodgy evidence about WMDs to present to the UN security council, and basically destroying an entire country, while at the same time creating the power vacuum and conditions on the ground that allowed ISIS to gain power?
I thought some of that might at least warrant a mention.
- jbob2000 10y agoThat's just Pax Americana - create instability, be the only stable nation, profit!
- LanceH 10y agoWhat did that have to do with the military?
- peterkelly 10y agoUm.... they were the ones who did all that stuff (except for the lying to the UN bit). "Just following orders" isn't a great excuse.
- angry_octet 10y ago- Aren't we officially at war enough with AQ? Were the civillians who got killed unaware their Army and the US had declared war on their local militants? - I doubt any of the deaths caused by drone strikes were careless. I'm sure great care was taken. Unwise and foolish and desperate yes. - As others have mentioned, WMDs was all GWB, Rumsfeld and Rice. Post invasion deconstruction, I'd give to Bremmer.
