      We gave billions to the very country that supported the taliban and hid bin ladin for a decade.

      And we destroyed the middle east, causing the refugee crisis that is hitting the world and causing trouble.

      Not to mention we burned trillions.

      We were epic moroms, manipulated by assholes like Pakistan and Israel when all we should have done was what Obama did, put a few rounds in bin ladin and thrown him off the ship.
