She doesn't say that outright, but it is implied..Bombing one country after another, forever..on and on...and on some more...
U.S.A. bombing others..on and on...One country after another..on and on....
.Very sad to me...

This part of the segment starts around 8 minutes in...and it is worth watching that part ..no matter what else you watch

Her words,.... "Does the threat posed by this group rise to the level where it warrants this escalation of effort? Do we really want this to be the new normal of the way we interact with the world? Do we want to be doing this all over the world, forever, indefinitely, in counterterrorism campaigns that go on indefinitely and that we don't call war, just adding new countries to the list of where we do this stuff, every year, year after year...when does it ever stop?

...k and r..
