"They thought they had adequate security'
They (State Dept) were wrong. The person in charge of that, is seeking a big promotion. She also told Gen Petreus that no one would believe his speculation of what the surge would accomplish in Iraq, unless they surrendered to "the willful suspension of disbelief". She was wrong on that too. She also said, many times, that Iraq had WMDs.
"how we ended up in Iraq"
Because many people, including Hilary, said it was necessary. How about that?
"Should we leave 1/2 of the Mid East and Africa?"
Better to leave, than to leave people there unprotected, right?
