I don't consider the money spent in the ME as wasted, but an investment. And Obama makes Bush look like a paragon of thrift.

When I invest money it is because I expect to get a return, make a modest profit. If you can actually demonstrate the rerurn or profit I will be astounded, and no doubt so will the families of the over 4000 wasted lives.

Iraq is corrupt as is Afghanistan, Iraq is playing footsie with Iran and nobody remembers a little country called Kurdistan in fact we even suggest they are terrorists because they want their country back, but we must not piss off Turkey.

The trillions pissed away in the ME are just that - pissed away, we might as well have bought junk bonds from Goldman Sachs.
