It wasn't supposed to be about how great it would be for us.

I agree that occupation by the United States is, from my POV, superior to being governed by Islamists, Baathists or warlords. It's also clear that the only way to maintain democracy (of a sort) in the middle east is long term occupation.

So, how many countries should we occupy? For how many centuries? McCain thought one hundred years would do it for Iraq. When does your generosity with American blood and money run out?

I don't think bringing democracy to these godforsaken wastelands is worth a single American life. If they want freedom let them fight for it themselves as our forefathers did.

Then maybe they'll appreciate it.

Well, I’d suggest trying to occupy ours again.

That whole “lead by example” thing was working pretty well back circa 1969 IIRC... even in the wreckage left in the wake of the failed [but enormously profitable] revolution of ‘68.

What would Ike do?

The answer is VERY simple Trump is going to use this vote to go into Iraq against Hillary, the lie about WMD’S will be used against Hillary!!! It was a HUGE gamble in SC however the gamble worked for him JEB! is gone and he can openly use this against Hillary!!!

Trump’s connecting himself to the vile Code Pinko Hate America lies was a very STUPID move

Just the beginning Donald, and he is to be commended for giving the DEMOCRATS/HILLARY something to debate in the general, other than the IRS, VA, BENGHAZI, GITMO, OBAMACARE, MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, ISIS, ECONOMY. You know, all those issues that were so important before Trump’s big, beautiful, enormous, wall.

The side that thinks defending either Bush's decision to invade Iraq accomplishes anything at this late date.

About the only good thing I can say about our Iraq adventures is that they did help discredit the amnesty loving New World Order globalists of the Bush family once and for all.

I predict Trump will win Nevada tonight. What do you think?

In other news Jeb!'s campaign is still desperately clinging to death.

And whatever happened to Lindsey Graham?

Yes, he did. Why do you think he would do something like that? Do you think Trump is a loose cannon, just firing off wild statements at random?

Or is there method to his message?

Wasted time on a very old issue when there are years of her debacles as SS that are more pertinent to todays electorate. The list to pummel her is. Long.

Everyone and every group does! You come across as being very anti-semitic and repulsive to me. So, like I said you should shut that hole in your face and don't bother addressing me again. Keep away from!
