Make that The author shows his ignorance
Uhhhhhhhh...and what were the consequences again? Please don't make me click on the link. Just tell me, does he spell them out later in the article?
Or are we just expected to know what those consequences were?
The propaganda from the "progressive" media has been successful in convincing many that the Iraq War was all about WMDs. It was not.
The response by Jeb Bush to the question about whether he would have invaded Irag in hindsight was very revealing. The fact that he answered the question as posed was laughable; it showed he is not a quick thinker. He accepted the premise behind a trick question and tried to “honestly” answer it. The cause of what is happening in Iraq is not the result of what George W Bush did, which was to send troops to invade Iraq, get rid of Saddam Hussein, and successfully pacify the country. The proximate cause is what Barack Obama did, which was to withdraw American troops from Iraq before Iraq was strong enough to fend off enemies. The question as posed to Jeb Bush infers that Isis was inevitable. In Chris Wallace’s interview with Rubio, Wallace mentioned to Rubio that a leader successfully arranges events. Why does Obama get a pass for his failure to successfully arrange events in Iraq by the media and the Republicans?
This about Jeb Bush’s fumbling of the ISIS question, people forget to key points. We didn’t create it
1) ISIS can be traced all the way back to Zarqawi’s Jama’at al-Tawhidw’al-Jihad which (1999)
2) Coalition and Iraqi tribes stomped Al Qaeda in Iraq and its remnants fled into Syria, without funding and weapons from patrons in the middle east it wouldn’t have rose from the ashes.
Since the Korean War, every war we have fought has been won by the skill and valor of our armed forces. In every case victory has been given to our enimies by the TREASON of the Democrat Party. Same thing with Iraq. The Democrat Party leadership is more dangerous and evil than ISIL.
Mr. Chapman is a card-carrying member of the Democrat Propaganda Ministry. If Republicans spend the next nine months looking for a candidate who can make the Iraq War un-happen, who wins? Hillary, that’s who.
Bump....
Chris Wallace:
President Lincoln (in Heaven), knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have gone to Ford’s Theater?
President Kennedy (in Heaven), knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have gone to Dallas? And if yes, would you have insisted that the bullet proof bubble top be used in the presidential limo?
President Obama, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would have pulled our troops out of Iraq?
Hillary Clinton, knowing now what you didn’t know then; that is, that your on-the-make husband is low life trailer park trash with a compulsion for unseemly behavior, would you have married him?
Mrs Hitler, knowing now what you didn’t know then would you have aborted Adolf?
Napoleon, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would have gone to Waterloo?
Mr. Chamberlain, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have signed those papers in Munich?
Mr. Roosevelt, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have been so cozy with Stalin, that murderer of 30,000,000 of his own people?
Democrats and Republicans, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have voted for the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution?
American People, knowing now what you didn’t know then; that is, that Obama is a rap loving cipher, would you have voted for Romney?
American People, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would have you abolished slavery at the constitutional convention?
Nobel Committee, knowing now that Obama is a big no body, would you have awarded him a Nobel Prize?
Ralph Branca, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have grooved that pitch to Bobby Thompsom?
General Lee, knowing now what you didn’t know then, would you have ordered Pickett’s charge?
This is what our media has become, purveyors of drivel spoon fed to a bunch of celebrity worshiping morons. This is what passes for cutting edge journalism. It is what it is. Obama is a worthless president who was elected by a worthless electorate who are more easily persuaded by appeals to their emotions than to their intellect. Don’t you get it, he’s a man of the times, for the times, the one person distillation of what we are, hence, exactly what we deserve. Today, no man or woman of any intelligence or value or moral stature can be elected to any office of public trust, or so it seems at the moment. If they were alive today neither Washington, Adams, Jefferson; nor Lincoln (that man of transcendence) could be elected. Compare those august men to Obama, a third rate man pimping third world ideas to a fourth rate people.
One other question for Hillary Clinton: Do you think it’s a violation of the equal protection clause to require men to register for the draft but not women? After all, shouldn’t your daughter and Obama’s daughters have to sign up if you’re Commander-of-Chief (Obama’s words)? Why should our sons have to die and your daughters live in the lap of luxury?
