nothing to with 9-11 started the current mess with ISIS, who are basically led by disaffected Sunni ex-Iraqi military

Also, no mention of the fact that ISIS has over a billion dollars of US weapons that they commandeered our last misadventure.

Also, no mention of Saudi Arabia (16 of the 19 hifackers on 9-11 came from SA), or SA's role in promoting the violent Wahhabi strain of Islam.

Also, no mention of oil or war profiteering, or how we are going to pay for this endless war. (how bout a tax on the wealthiest???)
