Well, gee, $1 trillion or so just doesnt buy what it used to. Take Iraq, for example.
Or, should I say: Take Iraq, please, someone and fix it. Fend off the nasty Islamic fighters of ISIS and keep that miserable sinkhole for American lives and money from coming back to bite us again.
Do you understand now, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John Bolton and all you neocon nutjobs, why the invasion of Iraq in 2003 wasnt a very good idea?
President Obama sure does. Because now hes neck deep in another crisis in this place, a country he thought he had gotten us out of, as he promised to do.
Now, I do have one somewhat off-the-wall option: Send Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney over there and let them try to negotiate a solution. And tell them they cant come home until theyre successful. After all, theyre the ones who created this mess in the first place.

This is too easy for the MSM types. Oh goodie, we get to write another trash Bush article...
It’s World War I’s fault and breaking up the Ottoman Empire and creating Iraq because it looked pretty on a map that way.
Too bad we didn’t lock Saddam up in Gitmo.
I think if you did a confidential poll, 99% of the military would like to be rid of the Hero of Benghazi. Some command staff who owe their promotions to him might favor him. That’s it.
Pick any average businessman who pays taxes, hires and fires, and meets a payroll and he’d do a more competent job than the clown posse in DC.
Whitefield--Flaming liberal says Bush did it though 0bummer's been in office 5 1/2 years and still has no foreign policy.
Pauly will be able to write another screed when the same thing is repeated in Afghanistan because of 0bummer.
“Give Cheney command he will fix it.”
Rapidly.
“Hey, Mitt Romney fixed the Winter Olympics, maybe he can do this, too?”
Whether you like Mitt or not, any sensible person can see that there is no way we would be in any of the many messes we are in today, if Mitt were president.
All those who stayed home and sulked and allowed Obama to get elected — TWICE — are reaping what they sowed, unfortunately all the rest of us are suffering too as a result of their lack of common sense.
Send Jimmy Carter.
Try stopping being an asshole!
It’s never the left’s fault.....even though Bush and Cheney predicted this before Obama was even elected.

Editor/blogger @latimes presenting a slightly skewed view of the news
We just explain to the world we will no longer “intervene on behalf of freedom” unless we have the oil contracts in hand on the day we go in. I mean, the Left still squeels that Irag was a “war for oil” and we got screwed by the bastards. Money up front next time!
That’s pretty bad.
After only 6 years even the LIbs want Bush back!!!
Glad to see that you are back and trying so hard to relive the era of your only hit song.
No, we’d be in different messes.
Let’s see the oil leases.
I remember the video of a woman, on her knees, being shot in the soccer stadium of Kabul, then ruled by the Taliban. Stadium built with funds from the UN.
She had showed some ankle getting out of a Van.
And we have some members of congress saying the Taliban are not terrorists.
It’s an easily predictable liberal failure because Obama withdrew from Iraq in 2011 without a SOFA for political reasons, not conditions on the ground. His political team calculated he could not win in 2012 if any troops were still in Iraq. Just like his political team calculated he could not win if Behghazi was a terrorist attack. Or if people knew the truth about Obamacare. And on, and on,
