What a crock of bullshit.
Is anyone aware it's safer for US Marines to be station in Afghanistan and Iraq than it is to be stationed in here at home in the US? We have some idea that we are being bled to death. We aren't. How many Iraqis and Afghans have we killed in the process? The only thing al-Qaeda has accomplished is having two of their countries over run and their governments removed, while we kill them by the hundreds of thousands. That sounds like a sure victory for al-Qaeda.
The Soviet Union wasn't bled dry by Afghanistan. The Soviet Union didn't collapse because of Afghanistan; The Soviet Union collapsed because it was a doomed system.
