IRAQ/MIDDLE EAST: “We’re largely out of Iraq. We’re down to a very few soldiers. I said we’re getting out of these endless wars — these ridiculous, endless wars. We should have never been there in the first place. I think it was the worst decision made in the history of our country. Should have never been there. In the Middle East, we should have never been.”
