  1. What!? The US government lied!? Most certainly not! LMFAO.. by the way it was way more that a trillion lost.

    1. @David Mc Trump has to pick up all his Chump supporters by the bus load just to make it look like he’s got a lot of friends fact! Not sure why anyone would support a coward, a traitor, an adulterer, a theif, a draft dodger, a Jeffrey Epstein buddy, & a fkg bullshit lier! I guess some people like to be conned by a moron. If you believe in Trump you might as well believe in fairytales! Hahahahahahahahahahahahha

    2. @David Mcstill calling me a Democrat, way to highlight you’re ignorance there bud. And wow 3 comments in a row, are you 70? You’re acting like a 70 year old in a nursing home who just got his pudding stollen.

    3. So when does bush get arrested and his administration when does Clinton’s when does Obama’s and when the hell does propaganda media get locked up for spreading fake news Americans are not dumb we know what all you damn treacherous bastards done

  2. Man they made a documentary this is what winning looks like. We were not winning we were never winning and we have been tricked. An (Iraqi war vet)

    1. Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸

      I’m not surprised at the lies and appreciate you telling the truth based on your experience.

  4. The military lied to the American public during the Vietnam War as revealed by the Pentagon Papers. Therefore its not so unusual that they would lie again.

    1. @Rick Simpson Obama was the first president in US history to be in a war the entire eight years of his presidency. He was as big a corporate stooge as any Republican ever was.

    2. @soylentdean ,, Obama inherited all of bushes lies,,. If Obama pulled all the troops out all American soldiers would have died for nothing,,,.

    1. @Qunited States Patriot I know right. Poor trump hes just a victim in all this. Who else can bang porn stars cheat on their wife and still be praised by Christians. The man pulled off bashing McCain for getting captured in Vietnam and never served a day in the military. Trump’s a True patriot and stand up guy if you ask me.

    2. Lied about 9-11 aswell, lsrael did it to pull our troops in because theirs are pathetic.
      Just like they tried destroying the USS Liberty to blame Egypt, a pattern of behavior that needs to end.

  5. U.S wars only benefits the military industrial complex corporations, politicians in this country love going to war and sacrifice young Americans to go die.

    1. It’s not about lives, never has been. It’s all about money. Politicians wave the flag and send our troops off to die for the sole purpose of keeping that cash from military donors coming in.

  6. IF THE WAR STOPS THE ARM DEALERS LOOSES SIMPLE AS THAT. A TRILLION DOLLARS FROM THE TAX PAYERS TO THE BANK ACCOUNT OF THE ARM DEALERS THANKS TO THE BUSH FAMILY

    1. @projeckt2501 the IG report doesn’t bring an end to the investigation. It’s his (Horowitz) report based on his findings. There is still the Durham investigation and subsequent report.

    2. @soylentdean We’ll see about that. There needs to be an investigation into how Durham conducted his investigation, since he is obviously a biased partisan hack.

  7. This story is like 20 years old “wolf”.
    Probably shouldn’t use the phrase “bombshell” for this one.😂💣💀
