What you dishonestly and stupidly refer to as “the suppression of insurgents in a two bit country” was the humiliating defeat of the very organizazation that attacked America on 9/11

so it’s over, Terry? We won the war on terrorism? or do you think there’ll be/is a new “central front in their war against America and the home of the next caliphate” ? What’s you functional definition of “humiliating defeat?” It means what in operational terms?

do you recall how Iraq became the central front for AQ?
