To their credit, Bush and Cheney did try to fix it. Almost completed it, but then had to do a handoff to an incompetent.

Disagree. Obama wasn't so much incompetent as treacherous. He threw this war, planning his "I told you so" speech for years on end and fine-tuning his Marxist-Leninist rhetoric.

It isn't "suicide" if somebody cuts you down from behind.

You have a point. Obama probably did do it on purpose.
