In “All the President’s Wars,” Peter Bergen argues that every US president since the Al-Qaeda attacks of 2001 has “accrued more power” for the presidency. Bush invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do with fighting Al-Qaeda. Obama became the “drone president,” launching attacks in countries not at war with the US. With the rise of the national security state, Obama could get approval for $120 billion for military spending, but not $2 billion for early childhood education. Bergen tells host Steve Clemons that it’s still an open question whether 9/11 marked “the beginning of the end of American global dominance.” Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on X : https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.news/AJEMobile #unitedstates #us #war #twintowers #aljazeeraenglish
