34. The "last war" isn`t over, Joe Nation.

Tue Feb 9, 2016, 01:10 PM

Feb 2016

It lives on as we live and breathe, both at home and in Iraq. The vote to invade Iraq was, for some of us, the single worst foreign policy decision in memory and it showed very poor judgement. It doesn`t matter if the resolution would have passed with or without Clinton`s vote. One doesn`t vote in favor of a war, a matter of life and death, based on what everybody else is doing.

The "last war" you speak of is alive and well in every VA hospital I`ve visited.
