Quick Look Over There!
tell me the truth. You are POTUS and you get congress to authorize an invasion of a country and you do. You seriously leave the army in tact? Really? An army you just swiftly and completely destroyed? Seriously is that really what you would do.
Bush did not defeat the Iraqi Army. He never demanded a surrender. He simply fired all the officers and men and turned them loose to become insurgents and later, the core group of ISIS o
Bush stated in his State of the Union Address that there was a connection and collusion between Saddam and al Qaeda. Cheney reinforced that misinformation. Both were lies because what they said has never been shown to have a basis in fact. In addition, Bush campaigned on a promise to have a doctrine of "no nation building". He, of course, broke that promise immediately after invading Iraq. Those are the standouts for me. The list can go on, but those are enough to answer your query.except bush agreed to leaveSo, wait. Obama pulled out of Iraq years ago, but it's still his fault, but Bush didn't pull out of Iraq, he went in, and nothing is his fault because he's not president any more. Er......
Bush didn't pull out of Iraq because it would become a hot bed of terrorists. We can thank Obama for getting out of Iraq and letting that happen.
The RWnut line is that Bush agreed not to leave by agreeing to leave.
By what I read, Obama didn't have a real choice. The Iraqi government wanted the US out of their country.
Clinton, Kerry and a lot of others, both Democrat and Republican gave the Bust administration great trust after 9/11. We were all betrayed by the promotion of misinformation and/or lies, which ever you wish to call the misleading statements that led to supporting an ivasion of Iraq, leaving an unfinished war in Afghansitan, and making the greatest foriegn policy blunder in American history.I know, you are concerned for the Iraqis. Right.
I was concerned enough about Iraqis that I argued vehemently against the unprovoked invasion and destruction of Iraq.
I bet you cared so much (for the Iraqis) that you supported the Bush invasion.
Right?
I would not have supported the invasion but folks like Mrs. Clinton and John Kerry certainly did, before they didn't. That said, everything is a two edged sword. Saddam was using chemical weapons against the Kurds, his sons were running "rape" rooms, and Saddam and sons lived in opulence while his people lived in abstract poverty. Saddam didn't get his nickname by accident.
Saddam was not using chemical weapons against the Kurds during that time period. He used them in March of 1988 while Ronald Reagan was President.
America would have never gone to war over rape rooms. Governments that facilitate rape are all over the world, many to a much greater degree than what was going on in Iraq.
Rulers living in opulence while citizens live in poverty is nothing new and is happening all over the world, then and today, to an even greater extent government failitated rapes.
Yes, you have stated very well the meme of the left wing.
What do you think Mrs. Clinton didn't know when she said the same things Bush said and voted for war and supported the war ever since, except of course recently.
Seems to me, that being a fair minded person, you angst would be against Mrs. Clinton who let you down. Regardless of how the war ended, Bush was doing what he said he would do and what he thought was right. How about Mrs. Clinton?
And once again we get the far left drones and their revision of history as laid out in their religious scriptures!
