The bush chickens are coming home to roost.

No this actually goes back to the end of WWII when we stopped fighting to win wars and started fighting to a negotiating point.

That would be the Obama chickens. We had actually won the war and were stabilizing the country until Obama and the Cindy Sheehan wing got into power. It was the retreat that did us in, not the victory or even the war.

It’s true, though, after WWII we were happy with standoffs. However, this wasn’t even a standoff. We had won and most Iraqis were very happy about it. And then Bambi gave the store away to AQ (under whatever acronym you wish to use).

EXACTLY!

We should fight to win, until the enemy completely surrenders and then we take control UNTIL we are completely assured we don’t have to have problems with them anymore!

That is correct. We have not won a war since WWII. Desert Storm was just a battle.

The current mess in Iraq and Afghanistan is most assuredly the fault of the Commander in Chief that sent us over there in 2003. There was zero chance of making a modern democracy in a Muslim country.

GW Bush did horrific damage both at home and abroad. It is time for his supporters to admit he was a rotten President, worse than Clinton.
