You’ve just revealed you have learned nothing from the 2 trillion dollar pack of lies and 3,000 dead young men disaster that was Iraq

A SUCCESS...

We learn lessons from every conflict. As I stated, nation building was a flawed concept in the ME. Thats where most of those deaths came from. Not from OIF. Like Desert Shield/Desert Storm, the Iraqi military folded like a bad poker hand in days when confronted with our military.

Iraq was a quick decisive military victory. And probably a mistake.
GWB was letting Christian conservatives try to reform Iraq, and he put our tanks in garages and let the troops become targets in the cities.
Poorly handled.
