I know my history, but I also know who has used the term "occupy" to indicate wrongdoing on Bush's part.
I also know the history of Iraq, but thanks for the lesson. Your accusation of politics interfering with the strategy in Iraq is still silly. If you were paying attention to the reasons he gave in speeches for going into Iraq, you will know that the presence of WMD was only one of the reasons he gave. The emphasis was only because of the defense given before the UN and their preoccupation with it. If you were observant, you would know that.
Quagmire?? LOL! There you go again, using the leftist anti-Bush vocabulary. If you don't want conservatives to think you're one of them, why do you use the same words? (There never was a quagmire). When it was clear that things were deteriorating in Iraq, Bush looked for and found a stronger General with a better plan, and we began to win.
Now, since you have accused me of having no integrity (I love that one), and being a moron (my IQ doesn't indicate that), I shall end this lovely discussion.
Be thankful that I didn't respond in kind to your ridiculous insults.
No more games, newbie. Good day.
Yes, your response was moronic. You have been insulting, so I responded in kind. Go cry in your milk.
You are not paying attention. I'm not using the term occupy to indicate wrongdoing at all. I'm using it to indicate that that is exactly what the US SHOULD HAVE DONE and that not doing so fully and correctly at the outset was a mistake. The Democrats and Muslims used the term occupy to keep Bush from doing it. He obliged them. Further, what I said was that WMD wasn't a necessary reason to go back in. Bush gave the idiots an opening, they took it and he failed to play offense much less defend himself.
The civil war that resulted from the flawed plan resulted in a quagmire (a violent civil war with no US control that could have gone on for years). It's ironic that you are being a word Nazi. The fact is that the light army that Bush used to invade was ill equipped to fully OCCUPY Iraq. Conservatives called for increased troop levels for years but Bush didn't listen. Had he listened, Iraq would have been stable much sooner and the Democrats would have lacked that major issue to win seats with, not to mention giving the GOP an issue to run on.
You may think that you know the history of Iraq but you don't understand it.
