Was The Iraq War A Success Or Blunder?

[paulitician]

With the recent chaos in Iraq, this seems like a pretty good time to ask this question. What say you?

How Will History Judge President George W. Bush?

However, Bush, 66 years of age, says he is “comfortable” with both his life and legacy and defends his decisions on Iraq.

History will judge the decision to go to war in Iraq. It should be remembered this was a bi-partisan decision at the time and was backed by majority of Americans. As the war dragged on and no WMD’s were found, opinion turned against our involvement in Iraq.

Growing up during the Vietnam War, I never thought I would live to see the day that Americans went as tourists in large numbers to visit Vietnam. It has become a booming honeymoon destination for many American couples.

If Iraq becomes a successful democracy and a future tourist site for Americans and others to visit, Bush 43’s vision of freedom and democracy in Iraq and the Middle East will be revisited and his political standing as president will go up.

That scenario is quite hard to imagine now in 2013 but as Vietnam reminds us anything is possible as time goes by and soothes many wounds.

This one takes some real honest reflection. It's a tough question.

 

[Little-Acorn]

The war was a success.

Pulling out before the other side was finished fighting, and leaving no troops to resist them, was a blunder.

 

[Kosh]

If the far left had been quiet like they are now, Iraq would have been a success.

However the far left made such a big deal they have to let it fail so they can say they were right.

The far left would much rather see the world burn than admit they are wrong.

So overall as it stands now, what's your vote?

So what's your vote on the results at this point?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The neo-cons can't get the thought through their oil-soaked brains that

(1) the levers of military power have changed with nuclear weaponry

(2) the American people will not tolerate the sacrifices in lives, treasure, and time necessary to recreate a Middle East nation in harmony with our national interests

Iraq II has been the greatest foreign policy mistake in our history.

That's a lie, and you know it. Step along.

The far right would rather burn the world then not have their way.

Sounds like you're voting 'Blunder.'

Goes to show the truth hurts the far left Obama drones.

My vote is the far left turned it into a blunder because if they had made it a success all their propaganda in the Bush years would have made them look like hypocrites. Then if had to do this again the far left war propaganda would fall on deaf ears.

So yes the far left made Iraq a blunder and they will continue to do so as they need to prove that they are right.

 

[Synthaholic]

The war was a success.

Pawns in George Bush's re-election campaign.

Says the far left Obama drone.

He shoots his propaganda missiles and they misfire and turn out to be duds!

Then the Left snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, pulling out before the other side was finished fighting, and leaving no troops to resist them.

You can hide behind your fears of the darkness, which does not excuse your lies.

Only if the neo-cons had won the peace in Iraq, which they had not. They lost it long before Obama took office.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The lies of the Far Right and the demonizing of the responsible right and center as Far Left makes for grins and chuckles.

 

[Ibentoken]

Iraq was one of Obama's great achievements. Now it's another failure. Golf is more important.
