[UPDATED] Recently we passed the twentieth anniversary of the initiation of warfare against the Iraqi government and a twentieth anniversary of the "Mission Accomplished" banner and speech.

YouTube The Bush fly-to-the-carrier event.

 An interesting where are they now item.

YouTube - a bit later than the other one.

Cliche time: If you decline to learn from history you are doomed to repeat it. 

Let's learn, huh? Hello, Ukraine. 

Next?

At least Trump said goodbye to Syria, and set the table for an Afghanistan goodbye. Fault him for other things but don't fault him as a war monger, even though he goosed up the Pentagon budget without cause or restraint.

 FURTHER: Please note the Mission Accomplished speech blurb, (the earlier YouTube item), did mention prominently within the minute or so length of it, "Weapons of Mass Destruction," which we now know was a pure, invented hoax, so call it that, since it was only later that the euphemism "disinformation" came into vogue. Powell "disinformed" the UN, and US. You can even say he lied.
