Did we deserve 9/11?

Currently a fellow at the Hoover Institution, Paul Wolfowitz previously served as director of policy planning at the State Department, as #US ambassador to Indonesia, as under secretary of defense for policy, as dean of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University, as deputy secretary of defense, and as president of the World Bank. He is perhaps best known as a policymaker during the war in Afghanistan and the first and second wars in Iraq, and that is what we delve into in great detail in this episode. Wolfowitz gives his views on what the United States got right and got wrong in both Iraq and Afghanistan, recounting the data available to decision-makers at the time and the decision-making processes. He also gives new details on why the #Bush administration believed Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and determined an invasion of #afghanistan was necessary after 9/11, and how the idea for the surge in #iraq was conceived and executed.

Bro why is there always a person of this particular tribe talking about how America deserves to suffer? The last 40 years of American war is just for Israel, of course the Muslim world would eventually fight back.

I don’t believe he is saying that we deserve to suffer, BUT. If the US is reaping what we’ve sown, it was all done on their behalf. This dude wrote the doctrine of perpetual warfare that guided US policy in the Middle East. Ridiculous what we allow all so that politicians can have their funding by AIPAC and puff pieces written the NYT, and not be demonized by Fox News or CNN.
