Great interview with Bill Moyers from 2008. Skip to 18:40.
"Afghanistan is blowing up; its becoming unraveled, we're involved in two countries there trying to nation-build, at the same time it looks like we'll be in Pakistan. So this whole idea that there's some type of victory going on over there, and its a disaster. They would like us to not talk about it anymore, but we cannot hide from it because its tied into the finances: all great countries end when they extend themselves too far overseas."
