Saddam ran that country better than anyone! Now you see it takes a fucking dictator to rule those people. We cry about Saddam invading other Arab countries. He was our sunni who kept Shiite iran in check and he ruled over the Shiites in iraq who are now isis
We should have hung George not Saddam.
Did you hear finally every republican running including Jeb admits knowing what we know now he would not have invaded Iraq. Can I say fuck you to every usmb republican for not admitting that all these years? How long they defended the invasion. Now every candidate has to admit it or they won't be trusted. And watch if one of them wins we'll invade Iran next.A college student told likely GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Wednesday that his brother, former President George W. Bush, was to blame for the rise of the Islamic State.
The heated confrontation took place at a town hall meeting in Reno, Nevada, according to The New York Times. Ivy Ziedrich, 19, a student at the University of Nevada, approached the former Florida governor to question him about comments he had made during the event. Bush had argued that the Obama administration's weak foreign policy was responsible for the rise of the terrorist group, also known as ISIS, in the Middle East.
Ziedrich countered that Obama wasn't to blame -- and that it was his predecessor's decision to disband the Iraqi army that made the group's formation possible.
"Your brother created ISIS," she told Bush.
What followed was a contentious exchange, according to the Times. Ziedrich accused Bush of "spouting nationalist rhetoric to get us involved in more wars," pointing out that under his brother, the U.S. had spent years in the Middle East, waging "pointless wars where we send young American men to die for the idea of American exceptionalism."
Bush responded by defending the war in Iraq. "When we left Iraq, security had been arranged, al Qaeda had been taken out," he said. "There was a fragile system that could have been brought up to eliminate the sectarian violence."

I totally agree! The student is 100% correct. Jeb can't escape the truth. In fact, the ISIS mess can even be traced back to former President George H.W. Bush when he suckered Saddam into invading Kuwait.
And them being wrong about this, just like ultimately they are wrong "for we the people" on every issue. It won't stop them from continuing to argue as if they have never been wrong on everything.
Can we get them to admit they were wrong about bushanomics causing the 2007 great recession?
And fuck you back.....I still defend the invasion because it was the right thing to do......and if you had even half a brain you would see that.....sadaam had to go, he violated the cease fire and refused to cooperate with the weapons inspections....and that inspection process was falling apart because of all the bribes of europeans......so fuck you....if you assholes had supported the effort, and not been bitching and moaning we could have had a lasting peace there....we still have troops in Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea and all over the world...the only place we have pulled out...the very places we needed to be to keep a lid on the nut jobs.....
