Former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul has said Iraq is now “in far worse shape” than 2003, when the U.S. invaded the country.
In his new article published on Monday, Paul severely criticized the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying U.S. President Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush took the wars “to mean that they could make war anywhere at any time they please.”
“We left Iraq after a decade of fighting and the country is in far worse shape than when we attacked in 2003. After trillions of dollars wasted and tens of thousands of lives lost, Iraq is a devastated, desperate, and violent place with a presence of al Qaeda. No one in his right mind speaks of a U.S. victory in Iraq these days. We learned nothing from it,” said Paul in his weekly column on thefreefoundation.org .... http://www.presstv.ir
