Well put.

My beliefs re McCarthy’s column:
THE OBAMA had no trouble reversing other policies and intentions that Bush had proposed and/or suggested before THE OBAMA gained POWER.
This THE OBAMA’S DOING every bit as much as is Obamacare..

I live in New York state and must listen to Republicans in the state, particularly in Downstate give their opinions. I suggest they rely less on the NYTimes and ABCBSNBCNN and do more critical thinking before offering advice.

Of course McCarthy is correct about McCain.

No, I was being serious. I believe the first gulf war was a mistake that led to where we are now

There were a few problems with Bush’s approach. One, he threw out all the Baahthist military generals that could have worked with the defeated Iraqi army and knew how to deal with Islamists. Two, political correctness pressure prevented what really needed to happen in Iraq, a de-Islamification process.

Obama just ignored Iraq completely. Negligence is far worse in this situation. And Obama’s tireless support for Islamic radicalism inspires AQ.

As the FR archives will show, that was my view at the time. I’ve seen nothing to make me think I was wrong.
