JD Vance: "I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East."

JD Vance: "I empathize with Americans who are exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents"

America continued missions ("no-fly zones"/ Operation Southern Watch) throughout the intervening years between the Gulf War (1991) and the 2003 invasion of Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom).
