Yemen and Somali Neglected to Occupy Iraq and Afghanistan

Two Al Qaeda leaders in Yemen killed today. Richard Engel reports that the person who killed seven CIA workers was a double agent. Engel also says places such as Yemen and Somalia have been neglected because we have spent the last decade trying to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan. $1 trillion has been spent on rebuilding those two countries. The single largest mistake of the past decade, in my mind, was the invasion of Iraq. That set off a chain of events and none of them good.
