Afghanistan was lost in 1979 when the CIA trained the Jihad in guerrilla tactics. Iraq was lost in 2003 when Bush used false intelligence to justify the illegal invasion and then started torturing people to death in secret prisons.
When have I defended Obama? Obama's been the same as Bush. It's all part of a system that goes above the President or Congress. Every President since the end of World War II has committed at least one act that can easily be defined as a war crime. Obama didn't "change" anything.
What method of torture was used to kill any prisoners? I suggest that Bush got the false intelliegence from these two prominent Democrats.
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."

Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government.
