No it wasn’t a mistake we lost, eventually you just have to man up and admit it.
Gen. Petraeus learned nothing at all. That is a big problem with the nations elite. They are intellectually and morally bankrupt. The best education money can buy, and they learned nothing. No introspection from the man, same as the president and his cabal and the Russophobes in the Blinken SD. Iraq and Afghanistan and he learned nothing.
As a nation we are in deep trouble.
