The total failure of the right wing middle east policies

[edthecynic]

Saddam started the first Iraq war by invading Kuwait. We responded and rolled him back. Bush was set to go to Baghdad but the painty wastes in the Democrat Party told him he didnt have authorization and being a good guy and wanting support across the aisle he stopped the war.

The insane revisionism of the Right is unbelievable! Now Cheney is a panty waist Dem!

Cheney changed his view on Iraq - seattlepi.com

Dick Cheney in a speech delivered by then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney in 1992 to the Discovery Institute in Seattle.
And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth?" Cheney said then in response to a question.
"And the answer is not very damned many. So I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."
Going to Baghdad, Cheney said in 1992, would require a much different approach militarily than fighting in the open desert outside the capital, a type of warfare that U.S. troops were not familiar, or comfortable fighting.
"All of a sudden you've got a battle you're fighting in a major built-up city, a lot of civilians are around, significant limitations on our ability to use our most effective technologies and techniques," Cheney said.
"Once we had rounded him up and gotten rid of his government, then the question is what do you put in its place? You know, you then have accepted the responsibility for governing Iraq."

Then-SecDef Dick Cheney explaining why *not* to invade Iraq.



But let's assume for the moment that we would have been able to do it — ... Then the question comes [of] putting a government in place of the one you've just gotten rid of; you can't just sort of turn around and walk away — you have now accepted the responsibility for what happens in Iraq. What kind of government do you want us to create in place of the old Saddam Hussein government? Do you want a Sunni government, or a Shi'a government or maybe it ought to be a Kurdish government, or maybe one based on the Ba'ath Party or maybe some combination of all of those? How long is that government likely to survive without U.S. military forces there to keep it propped up?

If you get into the business of committing U.S. forces on the ground in Iraq, to occupy the place, my guess is I'd probably still have people there today instead of having been able to bring them home. ... The bottom line question for me was: How many additional American lives is Saddam Hussein worth? The answer: not very damn many.

Where do you s get this bullshit?
Convicted felon North skated on his conviction due to his immunity agreement being expanded by the GOP extreme court. Without immunity Traitor North's lying ass would be in jail where he belongs.

Except North isn't a convicted felon - you're just lying - as you Communists do.

The conviction of North was not valid - and was tossed into the sewer along with the rest of your witch hunt..

He WAS convicted of a felony before the Supreme Court EXPANDED his immunity agreement.

Here's a little something for the Communist/Progressive who started this thread. It's actually fellow Communist/Progressive Democrats who've started most of America's wars. They fully endorse aggressive Interventionism and War....

Yeah sure. Whatever lets you sleep.
The truth is he had committed no crime.

He admitted that the facts.

Ever since Ronnie Raygun's Iran/Contra crimes, the war monger cons have been wasting America's wealth on killing Muslims. Raygun gave a billion dollars worth of missiles to the Taliban. He sold chemical weapons to Iraq, and missiles to Iran to promote the Iran/Iraq war.
Then Shrub daddy started the Iraq war with DESERT STORM.
Then Shrub Jr. escalated Iraq with lies about yellow cake, and wasted $6 trillion on the war that has lasted twelve years. And all the cons can do is blame Obama, and call for more to be spent on another invasion.

The cons war on drugs is the same failure. After 45 years, America has wasted at least $45 trillion on the drug war, and all we have to show for it is a thousand times more drugs.

The GOP is the failure of this country.

We already knew you are a moron...you need not demonstrate it again.

It goes much farther back than Reagan. The western world has been fucking up the Middle East since around the mid 20th century and both Republicans and Democrats are responsible as well as the Europeans.

You mean since the Ottomans invaded Europe?
Yeah, you're an ignoramus.

The Catholics invaded before that with numerous Crusades. They burned Muslims at the stake, beheaded them and put their heads on a pike. The Catholics did that to the Jews also. What ISIS is doing is nothing new.

Please take note.

When you have to go back a few Millennium in order to find any kind of point, just give up because you have already lost the argument.

Saying the world is flat doesn't make it so. Neither does saying I lost the argument, just because you say so. DON'T TAZ ME said it went back farther than Raygun, even back to the Europeans. I took it back farther. Try being more than a moron.

You're the only one claiming the world is flat. Perhaps pulling your head out of your ass and looking at a bit of reality may help, but I doubt it. You're just another idiot on a website full of morons.

Mean ol' Supreme Court - denying Soviet Agents the right to dictate foreign policy in defiance of the Constitution....

Democracy doesn't work in the middle east. That is the flaw in it.

WIth a Congressional approval rating of around 10% for decades it seems, democracy does not work very well in the US either.

Tell us how you love how Obama removed Gaddafi and replaced him with Al Qaeda and ISIS>

Tell us how you supported Obama wanting to go into Syria and remove Assad and how you supported Obama arming the rebles to fight Assad who later eneded up being ISIS.

At what point were you diagnosed as being MR?

Deflection is all you have.
There were no Taliban when reagan was president. They were mujahideen and they were fighting the Soviets, thus they were our allies.
Saddam started the first Iraq war by invading Kuwait. We responded and rolled him back. Bush was set to go to Baghdad but the painty wastes in the Democrat Party told him he didnt have authorization and being a good guy and wanting support across the aisle he stopped the war.
W. Bush inherited Clinton's failed policies towards terrorism, culminating in 9/11. He also inherited Clinton's failed policies towards Iraq, which let Saddam undermine sanctions and fire at our jets. Bush responded appropriately and waged a just war of liberation, which was a rousing success, despite the carping by the same people who had supported the war when it was popular.
Obama has failed in every policy he has pursued. He inherited a stable Iraq, an Egypt on the cusp of Democracy, a Libya ready for democratic government and he fucked it all up by supporting the wrong people and implementing the wrong policies.

The Taliban fought the Soviets as part of the Mujahedeen throughout St Ronnie's Regime.
Taliban militants are Sunni Muslim Pashtuns, and Pashtuns constitute thirteen percent of the total population of Pakistan. Pashtuns dominate the Pakistani military and are concentrated in the North-West Frontier province, which was the command center for the Mujahedeen groups fighting the Soviet troops and a major destination for the Afghan refugees. Following a public condemnation of the Saudi monarchy for allowing U.S. troops to enter and operate in Saudi Arabia, Osama Bin Laden moved to Sudan and eventually, in 1996, to Afghanistan, where he had fought against the Soviet troops and where he was warmly welcomed by the Taliban and its top leader.

The GOP have always loved the Taliban. Here is Reagan front man Rohrabacher, who Reagan used to supply OBL with Stinger missiles, defending the Taliban.

Rogue Statesman

Congressman Dana Rohrabacher’s absolutely crazy, quite possibly illegal back-channel chats with the villains of Sept. 11
by R. Scott Moxley

"[Rohrabacher] says the Taliban are devout traditionalists—not terrorists or revolutionaries. He believes a Taliban takeover [of Afghanistan] would be a positive development."

... "Listen! Hold on!" said Rohrabacher. "I am a bigger expert on Afghanistan than any member of Congress." ...

A November/December 1996 article in Washington Report on Middle East Affairs reported, "The potential rise of power of the Taliban does not alarm Rohrabacher" because the congressman believes the "Taliban could provide stability in an area where chaos was creating a real threat to the U.S." Later in the article, Rohrabacher claimed that:

Taliban leaders are "not terrorists or revolutionaries."

Media reports documenting the Taliban’s harsh, radical beliefs were "nonsense."

The Taliban would develop a "disciplined, moral society" that did not harbor terrorists.

The Taliban posed no threat to the U.S.

Most of that would not have been possible without Texas Democrat Charlie Wilson (read Charlie Wilson's War). Reagan was correct in working with Wilson to drive out the Red army.

So it was the Democrat Charlie Wilson who defeated the Soviets while Reagan was president and brought down the wall after Reagan had left office, blowing up yet another St Ronnie myth.
