Richard Engel on Afghanistan

Dylan Ratigan has him on to talk about our continuing quagmire in Afghanistan. And as we all know, Mr. Engel has spent a great deal of time in Country.

How much blood and treasure are we going to spend in the Country where “Empires Go To Die?” Why do we think that we will be better at this than the British or the Soviets or Genghis Khan for that matter?

This seems to me to be just another example of what is known as “American Exceptionalism.” Or as I think of it: Delusional Thinking.
