She makes points that have never occurred to me. I think you&#8217;d be hard pressed to find anyone in Washington as committed to the War Against Terror as this young journalist.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9BD7CYLTndk\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>She says that comparisons to the Vietnam War are absurd because the Vietnamese weren&#8217;t intent on bringing the war to our country after we left, they didn&#8217;t have a global strategy, they just wanted us out. We aren&#8217;t going to be that lucky when we leave Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, I don&#8217;t see anything changing in our strategy even if we get a new President, but we certainly don&#8217;t need this one to continue lying to us about what a great job he&#8217;s doing over there. I blame the American public and their complacency. Their complacency which is what elected this president in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>I watched Obama bragging this morning about how he ended the war in Iraq and how he&#8217;s ending the war in Afghanistan. Ending a war isn&#8217;t the same as winning a war. I wonder where the American people are going to send troops the next time their complacency is disturbed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We talked about this speech other day, but you need to watch the whole 20 minutes. &hellip; <a title=\"Lara Logan&#8217;s keynote speech\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=32330\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Lara Logan&#8217;s keynote speech<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
