Its been how history has played out and the Trump campaign made it pretty clear just how scummy the Bushes and those in their orbit. Now I don't even know if Obamas approach wasn't better as we didn't have new causalities everyday for that pile crap called Iraq.
Regardless we have had terrible foreign policy and bad leadership since Reagan - that is why Trump is here and boy howdy how all the Bushes, Clintons, McCain and Obamas can unite to take him out the one person who makes senses and seems likely to end this endless war.
The entire government suffers from the repetitive syndrome of an elite who just think they are so much smarter than everyone else.
One would think so.
Therefore, why did we leave Iraq, and our Iraqi friends?
Do you really think a country can be stabilized into a system of republican democracy in 10 years? Seems absurd.
We rescued the Iraqis and then abandoned them.
What kind of friends are we?
Certainly not the kind that can be trusted.
Ask the Vietnamese. Same thing.
"We've got your back. Oh, but sorry, we've had a change in policy, so now you're on your own to die or whatever."
Great friends, aren't we?
