As a side note, I hear liberals blaming the unrest in Iraq on Bush. They say we shouldn’t have been in Iraq in the first place, and that Saddam kept the country under control.

They may admit that Saddam was a ruthless dictator and a threat to world peace, but then go on to say that he kept the factions in Iraq under control.

So what we see is that in the Obama Era, nothing can be blamed on the policies or actions of Obama. Every president inherits the world situation as it is, and has to take steps to deal with the situation. But Obama just can’t be blamed for how he dealt with the situation he inherited in Iraq.

So liberals and the media will say that Bush should never have gotten us involved there, so that whatever happens now cannot be blamed on Obama’s policies in Iraq.

Obama is from the Jane Fonda wing of the marxist party.

Then blame Carter. He is the biggest reason why the middle east is a mess to begin with. Carter started most of the problems.

If they think a CIA stooge ruthless dictator should have remained in power in Iraq, it explains why they reelected Emperor Zero.

Bottom line is if you thought a ruthless dictator could only hold Iraq together, then you should have been for partitioning the country after Saddam was removed. Some of us were for that very scenario.
