Here, let me help you with that.
No doubt you'll believe the central point about the Democrats and their leadership (and how they promoted the invasion), because the rest of the article takes a dump all over Bush.
Democrats Share the Blame for Tragedy of Iraq War
My Lord, you're worse than an Obama-bot when it comes to Republicans. If you call what happened in Iraq "doing well," you are utterly disconnected from reality.
And really, that was their problem and by "their" the Iraqi people's problem. When a country has enough of a sadistic immoral bastard, it's the people's responsibility to rise up and depose them and restructure the country as they deem fit. I do not see a reason why the US needs to involve ourselves in every country's business because we do not like what is going on there, or base it on our own morality. Over the years I have modified my views to become must less intrusive and much more focused to our own domestic issues. I'm not saying "become isolationists" but I am saying it's not our job to police the world.
Iraq insurgents take Saddam's home town in lightning advance
Iraq is going down fast. The US should never have pulled troops out. We should have been resolved to be there for decades, like in Germany, Japan, and South Korea.
GWB won a victory.
Just curious Ockham, I know full well you know that certain posters in this thread are completely full of crap and are outright lying about the situation in Iraq for basically the entire time we were there. Why don't you say something about their flagrant dishonesty?
This chart alone:
BBC News - Iraq's annual death toll highest in five years - UN
Suggests that Iraq under Obama's administration was far safer than time under Bush's.
FDR was a great POTUS, but WW2 ended the Depression. RWR was the second greatest POTUS of the 20th century, after FDR.eace
Obama didn't want to stay because he needed a political narrative. A " Success "... His decision to bale on Iraq was specifically based on how it would affect him politically. How long have we had bases in Japan, Germany, and Korea ?? He's absolutely to blame for this.
The biggest mistake Obama made in his 6 years in office is "Cutting and Running" in Iraq and pulling all our troops from there like a sniveling coward. I try to find one good thing this man has done in his 6 years of office and there are none..........Now almost every country in the mid east Is under attack and Obama is not doing a damn thing about it except going to Palm Springs for a fund raising event.
He carpet bombed.. but I guess you hate the people of Iraq
Who IS the president now, while things are going to hell?
We should never have gone in there period.
Ah but we did go in there blessed by the democrats get over it...Its ancient history. The problem now is your daddy pulled the troops out before the job was done....Get that through your head.....Now this radical group is on its way to Baghdad and another Embassy is endangering of falling making Benghazi look like a first graders birthday party and Obama (the clueless one) is doing nothing.
Typical nonsense from the extreme right.
Iraq has been a ****hole for thousands of years. Not a damned thing we can do about it. We don't need to own yet another ****hole. We need to get the hell out of there.
If you want us to get involved, sign a proper declaration of war.
Three years ago when we "Cut and Run" the Iraqi government was as stable as it could be. If we would left a presence there (10 thousand men) the country would not be in the bad shape it is.
True Story. ISIL was on the way to extinction when GW handed over the reins.
We haven't had a declaration of war since WW2....Get your president off his lazy ass to initiate it.
Nothing like that is EVER "on its way to extinction"...EVER.
They will welcome us as liberators, the war will be over in four months and we can use the Iraqi oil to pay the cost of the war.
Hmmmm, I remember when Obama and his administration talked like that....NOT.
Then blame the Iraqis for imposing a demand that our troops would not be granted immunity if we stayed.
:shrug: if you want to believe so. But insurgencies die.
No, they said things like Iraq is stable, we want to win the Good War in Afghanistan, the Iraqi government is ready to take over, we are going to lead from behind in Libya and that will be just fine, al-Qaeda is decimated, Doing (fill in the thing that someone then immediately did) X is a Red Line, if you like your insurance you can keep it, etc.
