If rest of the world saw such transparency, confidence would improve. – “@JimHarroldOmaha It is in the NDAA and I announced that already. Link to reply@RepDonBacon The war that George Bush lied us into that cost thousands of lives and trillions of dollars? That war? @audiomagnate Afghanistan? You're wrong here.
