Even of the 2003 war? a friend who was trying to tell them to give it a bit more time, find a bit more evidence, maybe they wouldn t have encountered this terrible debacle, and maybe they wouldn t have precipitously retreated and withdrawn, and you know, seen the rise of isis in iraq, which then took thousands more u.s. troops to combat isis, and what would have happened if they hadn t withdrawn totally and chaotically from afghanistan? but they have. and the taliban is back. and in charge. 20 years later. it s come full circle. and it is actually a 180 degree circle. certainly from what i witnessed. back to hell. so good to get the perspective. thanks for that. and please do join cnn, as we honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks, 9/11, 20 years later, starts at 8:00 a.m. eastern time. that s 1:00 in the afternoon in london. right here, on cnn.
