America's Long War In The Middle East (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

For going on forty years now, the United States has regularly, sometimes massively, been deploying military force in the Middle East. If you plot all those strikes and campaigns on a big map, it looks like the battles of a war. My guest today, Andrew Bacevich, says that’s just what it is: one long American war in the Middle East. We’re still in it, he says. It’s not working. We need, he says – ISIS or no ISIS – to stop. To get out. This hour On Point, a call to end America’s great Middle Eastern war. — Tom Ashbrook
