Did we learn the right lessons from the Iraq war? Before we can answer that, we must understand why we went into Iraq in the first place. Author and journalist Robert Draper’s new book “To Start a War” chronicles with incredibly painstaking research and reporting how the most consequential foreign policy disaster of our time came to be. Listen to him detail why 18 months after September 11th, we invaded a country that had nothing to do with the attacks, resulting in tens of thousands dead, trillions of dollars spent, and a destabilized middle East. And how tied to this legacy is an increased level of public distrust in institutions, experts, and insiders, which paved the way for the biggest outsider of them all.

Chris Hayes Podcast With Robert Draper | Why Is This Happening? – EP 127 | MSNBC
Two years ago my kid visited a remote village in South Africa. First thing anybody said to her was “What’s the deal with Trump?”
Why? Lack of humility and evangelism.
Soros and Bloomberg want Biden to protect China billions.
STFU u unoriginal moron
@Gus Crawford Not allowed to critisize Soros on Twitter.
@brian woodward you didn’t even criticize him just STFU u factless moron
I fully agree with the premises that it goes back to the terrible decision to invade Iraq, a decision based upon politicized Intelligence. That invasion, and the failure of the main stream media to interrogate that decision, have led to our current position.
WILL YOU BE COVERING THE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF THE BIDEN FAMILY OR NOT! We DESERVE TRUTH!
Very happy 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️
The Repubs are all for the “get out & vote” message. The cities in flames are all filled with terrified Dem voters who watched their Dem bureaucrats throw them to the wolves. They can’t wait to vote for Trump. That is the irony! Trump won’t be re-elected by Republican votes, he’ll be re-elected by the Dem voters who’ll vote for him because THEIR Dem leaders abandoned them (but still taxed them).
😂😂😂 I dunno man, I know a lot of red voters (myself included) that haven’t seen our cities on fire, we’re not reactionary or threatened by people insisting a higher standard of scrutiny for the extrajudicial killing of Americans by police.
I’d even vote for Hillary over Trump if I could have seen the future
Chris Hayes stole his glasses from a kid on a teeter totter!
