Except that we already possessed that hindsight beforehand. It's not as if we didn't have good reason and vast historical precedent telling us that this plan wouldn't work...and it's not as if no one mentioned that before we dove in.
Hence, again, we may as well have spent that money elsewhere..perhaps trying something that might work, rather than something that reason and history resoundingly tell us will fail. That -was- the news, even then.....and if we'd managed to pretend, for a single moment, that we had a brain in our heads...it wouldn't be the news now....but it is, because we didn't.
I don't watch the program, their overall journalistic integrity isn't something I'm privy to - but here, in this....you seem to be aiming your frustration at the wrong people. No one suggested that we do nothing, it's what we did, in spite of what we know now -and- then, that is being criticized.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
