Realize that I never said that, in hindsight, the war in Iraq wasn't a mistake, but BOTH parties voted for it, based on flawed intelligence. And once Saddam was gone, we had a mess we had to deal with.

There's a part of me that gets a bit tired of hearing the "shared blame" with democrats over the decision to go to war....

YES, blame many democrats for being cowards and going along with the frenzy pushed by Cheney and Bush....you know, the "mushroom cloud" etc. By all means blame the cowardice by democrats......

HOWEVER, the vast majority of the blame MUST be on republicans for not having the guts to stand up to the fabrications that came out of the executive branch.

But....the point of this thread was NOT to rehash the catastrophe that was and IS Iraq......the point was that the ME is a quicksand every time we step into it.

Then it might be a good idea if Obozo would quit taking out governments, then walking off and letting ISIS step in....

Agreed?????
