This was the Obama Surrender;
the American POV for his Terrorist Arab Spring.

Considering the fact that they’re on our side in fighting Assad in Syria if we helped them.

Baraq retroactively surrendered the Cold War and is seeing to it that the Russians dominate space.

“weapons of mass destruction we later discovered he did not have. “

False!
He did have them, three mustard gas IED shells, and one Sarin IED shell shows that they exist.
ONE shell was proof enough.

Plus, Salman Pak Terrorist training Camp, in Iraq.
It was where the Madrid and 9/11 attackers trained...

Well, it’s kind of hard to win when you quit playing.

No; Iran did. A remarkable feat of irony (to the uninformed that is), the fact that both al-Qa’eda and al-Maliki are in Iran’s pocket.

Al-Qaeda had won the war when the Current Occupant assumed office in January 2009.

Everything since is just mop-up operations for them. They got their generals back, and the US military is on the run everywhere. Sure, they gave up Osama bin Laden, but he was damaged goods anyway, and totally ineffectual as the leader.

As far as I’m concerned, our level of involvement in the mideast should be restricted to helping protect Israel from attack (and possibly Jordan since they’re the only outpost of sanity in the arab world) and giving proportional aid to an international force to keep the Suez canal open.

King Obama handed Iraq to al Qaida. We sacrificed our blood and millions for nothing. King Obama is a traitor.

we later discovered he did not have.-—stop repeating this lie and some fact checking. He did have them, they were moved, we did not want to say they are in the wrong hands now so the Bush Administration said they were not there.

16 Intelligence agencies said they were there. Includint the Jewish one and I believe them more than ours.

I agree with you. We lost five Troops on Monday one was only 19. I was crying when I heard that. We should leave Afghanistan now everyone. No troops should be there.

The Democrats are still obsessing over the claim that Bush should have been impeached for invading Iraq.

I think Obama and most Democrats would be happy to see Iraq fall under al-Qaeda or some similar group, as further "proof" that Bush's decision was wrong. That Americans died in Iraq doesn't matter to them--just as Obama approved a limited surge in Afghanistan with no intention of seeking victory, knowing that more Americans would die (but that the situation there would not become a total disaster before the 2012 election).

"So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world," Bush said.

I believe that was a noble vision and worth the effort to see if it could take root in Arabia. If it had, the benefits would be nearly infinite.

Sadly, Arabs and Muslims have been proved (by this test case) completely incapable of Freedom at this point in history.

Let 'em rot.
