She explicitly referenced "since 9/11". Are we fighting the same people in Iraq that attacked us on 9/11? For that matter, are the insurgents we're fighting in Iraq right now the same forces we fought when we initially invaded that country?
The liberals try very hard to point out (with some justification) that there was no connection between 9/11 and Iraq. Yet once it's convenient to their political ends, they choose to forget that and lump them all into one war which has lasted.... gasssssppp... longer than our involvement in the Pacific in WWII!!!
It's every bit as ridiculous as the idea that Korea was a continuation of our conflict in the Pacific theater. In a vague way it represented a continuation of our involvements in regional interests and one probably wouldn't not have happened without the other... but different actors, different goals, different places, different degrees of success...
