Since 9/11, The U.S. Has Been Involved In More Than 5 Wars … And They’ve All Been Disasters
By "George Washington"
Feb. 20, 2015
Below, we demonstrate that the U.S. keeps “losing” war after war.
There are 3 potential reasons this might be happening:
• Is this chaos an intentional way to implement regime change and grab resources?
• Or is this a sign of the decline of the American empire … and we just can’t win a war anymore?
• Or do those in charge just not really give a damn about winning … and are they just focusing on one short-term goal after another?
We’ll let you decide why you think this keeps happening. But if you don’t believe that the U.S. has been losing its recent wars, read on …
U.S. Keeps Messing Up
IRAQ
LIBYA
AFGHANISTAN
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
SYRIA
YEMEN
**[Snip]**
So here’s my scorecard for American military interventions since 2000:
• Afghanistan: A disaster. It’s arguable that Afghanistan is no worse off than it was in 2001, but after losing thousands of American lives and spending a trillion American dollars, it’s no better off either. [Since the government has put a gag order on all military information, it’s hard to know what’s really going on.]
• Iraq: An even bigger disaster. Saddam Hussein was a uniquely vicious dictator, but even at that there’s not much question that Iraq is worse off than it was in 2003. We got rid of Saddam, but got a dysfunctional sectarian government and ISIS in return.
• Libya: Another disaster. We got rid of Muammar Qaddafi, but got a Somalia-level failed state in return.
• Yemen: Yet another disaster. After years of drone warfare, Houthi rebels have taken over the government. This appears to be simultaneously a win for Iran, which backs the rebels, and al-Qaeda, which may benefit from the resulting chaos. That’s quite a twofer.

IMO, one might argue that responsibility rests with Bush and his administration. Selective and short term memory of history indicates the interference of Progressive Marxist ideology are behind these losses. Iraq was for all intents and purposes pacified and under control until the precipitous withdrawal from Iraq by Barack Hussein Obama II thus creating a vacuum that al Qaeda/ISIS immediately filled.
The same held true for Afghanistan until the election of 2009.
For some reason Obama decided that Muammar Qaddafi should be removed from Libya. In doing so, Obama urged the formation of ISIS and supplied them whether intentionally or unintentionally. This leads us to Yemen a country rife with turmoil that Obama recently praised just before the Iranian backed Houthi rebels overthrew the government.
In moral equivalent reasoning, we could go all the way back to the dawn of religion or the Crusades to find the responsible person(s), sect(s), or government(s) for the present day problems we are facing. IMHO, we can only view this as the disaster of this present administration.
