Re: Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance
The insurgency was defeated by American forces during the offensive. If youll notice, ISIS isn't a local force unit.
Jesus, do you have any working knowledge at all of what happened?
Iraq was in the middle of a multiple front civil war. What turned the tide was not American troops but the Sunni Awakening Councils which essentially separated the fish from the water. If you had ANY understanding of COIN, which you obviously do not, you would have credited them, and not American forces with success. Your asinine comment is saying the British forces via brute force defeated the Malayan insurgency rather than COIN operations with native forces. And you keep pretending that Iraq wasn't seeing bombings and attacks during 2008. Because you have 0% interest in anything but partisan hackery.
Why do you keep white washing Iraq? Why do you hate the noble men and women who died there that much?
Is that why we had bombings on the day American forces pulled out? Because no bombings happened at all when we had troops there? oh wait.... Your partisan hackery is beyond measure.
Because Iraq was just peachy in 2008 right?
Thanks for proving my point. You only care about sticking things to Democrats and pretending everything was fine when a Republican was in power. More proof you don't give a **** about the lives of people in uniform.
Tell me, how would you have convinced the Iraqis to drop their requirement for Judicial Jurisdiction? Let's see if you can for once come up with a constructive argument. I bet you can't.
