Yeah, he had me right up until Iraq and Afghanistan, too. And his comments reveal a fundamental misunderstanding of what is going on in each country. If I hear one more idiot talk about “Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction” I will scream. If you are an isolationist who thinks America should not intervene in other counteries’ problems, fine, be one. But to swallow and spew the lies about why we are still in both Iraq and Afghanistan (and will be for a long tme) and what we are trying to accomplish in both countries, is to reveal profound ignorance.
We certainly didn’t try to give the Iraqi people true freedom. We gave them a ‘power sharing’ UN defined parliamentary government, which was expressly designed to install a socialism instead of bringing Iraq into the true free government of individual rights and rule of law.
Why did ‘we’ do that? Why does the American taxpayer and the American soldier have to pay to create more socialism?
