I don't want to argue . This was an invasion started by our Adminstration without world support and there is plenty of evidence that there is no end in sight.!!! The article was about how a great deal of money is being spent so poorly with no oversight. We are in the middle of a civil war. It's a mess.
We have military bases all over the world. That's not the point. The point in this article was- in Iraq-our money is being stolen...misspent with no end in sight.
