Fifteen years ago tonight U.S. Air Force B-1 and B-52 bombers attacked 31 targets in Afghanistan, described by then-President George W. Bush as “al-Qaeda terrorist training camps and military installations of the Taliban regime.”
And so began America's Longest War - by far - with no end in sight.
President Obama has halted the drawdown of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
Last week, Republican front-runner Donald Trump made a most amazing statement when asked about terrorists.
If there is ever to be any hope that this forever War on Terror will end, we must first face the reality of the world.
Unfortunately, if this statement is an example, then reality is the last thing on the agenda.
Do you know how many countries we are bombing? Go ahead. Try to guess how many.
You probably can't, and that is an incredibly awful thing about our country.
We've bombed brown-skinned people in seven different countries in the past few months and most Americans couldn't care less.
