became friends after that, though we didn't see eye to eye on foreign policy often. But Wesley Clark told a story about walking into the Pentagon. He tells it two times, but one is in 2001 after 9-11. And he's told, yeah, we're going to go to war several times because we're going to take out every one of America's enemies. We're going to not just address al-Qaeda and what's just happened to us after 9-11, but we're going to take out Saddam. We're going to take out Mohamed Qaddafi. We're going to take out all of Russia's would-be allies because we are the United States of America. And so we launched a lot of wars of choice. And this is what has gotten us into a colossal mess. And every war of choice, I've been a public critic of it, strongly saying, we don't need this war. It's going to hurt us. We're not going to win. We're going to spend trillions of dollars. We're going to get a lot of people killed. And it's not going to help the United States. It's going to hurt the United States. (26/45)
