You're expecting 60 Republicans in the Senate in 2022?

58 is probably more reasonable

Also -3 for title question

No.

They designed the war from scratch, prosecuted it and hosed it up. Joe Biden was one of many, many people who supported giving the Bush administration the power to wage that war (alongside tens to hundreds of millions of Americans, probably including some of the same people who now take delight in calling Biden a "war criminal", and no I didn't support the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, I knew they were a terrible idea from the beginning). He didn't create it. It would have happened with or without him, because the Republicans and the American people were full of fire and fury and the Democrats in general were nowhere near having the will or the political capital to stop them. There were war criminals in that war, and most of them worked in the White House and the Pentagon. Joe Biden wasn't more of a war criminal than most of the Senate at that time, which, if you want them to be prosecuted, then fine, but you're just not going to get that.

We are talking about a time when on this very forum there were discussion about whether all Muslim nations should be overthrown or only some of them.

Joe biden was not just another senator but chair of the foreign relations committee and ensured that the AUMF sailed right on through committee without any opposition

Basically the only benefit is that Trump has hosed off, but I find that less exciting and more a relief about me not having to read about him

you could have stopped at anytime
