Or Roy “Wrong Way” Riegels who play for UC-Berkeley and scored a touchdown for the other team in the 1929 Rose Bowl.

The reasons were not specious at all. Zarqawi (the head of ISIS) was based in Baghdad with his Egyptian terrorists long before we set foot there. He stayed there after losing his training camp in Afghanistan, which was next to bin Laden’s.

All the antiwar nuts lied and denied he was affiliated with Saddam and even tried to deflect from his affiliation to al Qaeda and the Egyptian Zarwahiri that was on its council, and admitted only his cell in northern Iraq, because they were trying to deny Saddam’s involvement in attacks on the US, but there he was, in Baghdad. And he was there because General al Dhuri advised the Baathist “secular” Saddam to befriend and host Islamists like Zarqawi, and pander to them by establishing Shariah law in Baghdad to brutally punish Iraqis, by building the Grand Mosque, changing the Iraqi national flag, change his speeches to please Islamists, help Islamic terrorists forge travel documents, provide training, and permit Zarqawi’s smuggling operations from Pakistan through Iran and on to Syria. In return they assassinated Kurdish leaders. After Saddam was executed, alDhuri
and his sons were free to formally swore Bayat to Zarqawi, and did, bringing with them into ISIS Former Iraqi Intel people, but theit association existed prior to US invasion.

The only thing as bad, if not worse, than the Rinos, are the apologists for Saddam Hussein and Putin who try to pass themselves off as pacifists.

Charge her for trying to incite an “Insurrection” with her silly Grant war anology.

We just drove through Wyoming twice. In the span of ten days we drove through Wyoming to Denver and then back again. Both ways we were overjoyed to see small ‘Dump Liz’ signs, and LARGE billboards with the same message. On the back of many, many 18 wheelers were large flags with ‘F’ SloJo Biden.

We already have Texas and Florida as our next possible home. We will add Wyoming too.

May God bless and keep safe President Donald Trump. I realize we also have DeSantis, but we really need President Trump back in the Oval Office, and out on the campaign trail for other strong patriots. President Trump has demonstrated how to talk, respond, attack, and tell the truth about these anti-american creeps that are the democRAT party.

Reading what she said I am concluding she has been writing this speech for quite some time, probably as soon as it became apparent she was going to lose the primary. It just reads that way.

Removing Saddam was a good Mission Accomplished. Too bad the Defense and State Depts. screwed everything up after that. Summarily firing all Iraqi army members, and failure to appoint a decent interim leader, were idiotic decisions.

After Saddam there was an emerging Iraqi Shiite strongman named Iyad Allawi, who could have kept things in order long enough (1-2 years?) for things to stabilize.

US leaders' insistence on fast-tracking 'democracy' instead was catastrophic. Karzai was a total kleptocrat.

I thought the closest historical example was the unknown woman who sharpened the knife for Brutus, hoping to have her name mentioned in the Forum.

More like Pierre Laval or Vidkun Quisling. Repudiated at the polls, they went on to sell their countries to the Nazis.

Lincoln had some special qualities that don’t exist in Liz. She has made it so. Maybe she should go back to studying his life instead of just comparing hers to it.
