We need to get out of there. It's the UN's fight. Let's get out of the UN and leave them to it.
Who invaded Iraq in the first place?
Remeber the whole 'You break it, you own it'
Love the idiots who first were all guns blazing for invading , then it got hard and Bush set the deadline to get out...
And how is this UN fault... It was the NeoCons who invaded, rem the freedom fries...
So well done in causing a mess and then having no clue how to fix it..
Iraq has nothing to do with Obama's screw up in Syria, and Libya and Iran.
Actually it has a LOT to do with it.
Syria and Iraq are very close. The Ba'ath Party wanted a pan-Arab state and Syria and Iraq were the main parts of this.
Ba'ath ideology was Arab Nationalism. Both Syria and Iraq have had Ba'athist states. It's not so easy to simply say they're separate countries and what affects one won't affect the other.
Libya was part of the Arab Spring which may or may not have had to do with the Iraq war and subsequent problems. However this has less to do with Bush.
Iran, I'm not sure what screw up you think has happened with Iran.
So what again did Iraq have to do with Syria's CIVIL WAR????? How could Saddam have stopped it? By allowing his sons to rape a few more women? By allowing Saddam to use WMD against the Kurds?
Libya has nothing to do with Bush. You would be better arguing it had more to do with Reagan since he at least bombed them.
Saddam and the Assad family had a very rocky relationship, Assad (father) supported the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, for example. They were going to have a single nation, but clearly Assad wanted to be in charge and Saddam wanted to be in charge.
Without the instability in the region, which was gained by the US invasion and subsequent fuck up due to ineptitude of Bush and Bremer, then the rebel groups would almost certainly not have tried anything.
Just because Bush didn't have direct links to what happened in Libya, again, the destabilizing of the region probably helped the Arab Spring.
