12:57Now PlayingOn Tuesday, President Obama announced he’s exploring ways to scale up the battle against the selfproclaimed Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. He said, "This will continue to be a difficult fight, but I’m absolutely confident that ISIL will lose. We will prevail." Those same three words, "We will prevail," were said 10 years ago by President George W. Bush and by Bush’s father 25 years ago about their own wars in Iraq.

We speak to retired Army colonel and military historian Andrew Bacevich, author "America’s War for the Greater Middle EastA Military History."
