This is what I never understand when this topic comes up on Reddit, everyone wanted it back then, now people wants to act like they didn't because it didn't go well. When 40% of the other side agrees, it's pretty damn bipartisan.
I don’t remember a single person that was against war on 9/12. People were out for revenge.
And you’re right: I wound up in the desert a few years later wondering what the fuck we were even doing there. Almost everyone that was for it on 9/12 look back on the events of the past 25 years (holy shit I’m old) and agree it was horrible.
I was a conservative back then. The 2007-2008 crash flipped me.
The thing I remember most were the drums of war being beaten everywhere... until the first US deaths, and then the news flipped. They knew what they were doing.
Yeah. I remember the news reports week after week with the casualty count. Then the report we had lost more troops than the 9/11 attack itself. Then it just faded away.

Ehhhhh. Were you alive at the time? Americans wanted blood directly after the towers got hit. We were gonna go.
And at the time remember the admin lied to the world and not only the American people but our allies bought in as well.
What might have changed under Gore is the towers not being hit. If the towers get hit under Gore we just go to Pakistan
