The mess we are in is purely with Obama.
Once we had committed ourselves we needed to stay committed, if for no other reason than to honor those who had sacrificed. Besides, I think there was a reasonable chance something beneficial and lasting could've been achieved there had we not elected a Marxist squish as president.
OTFLOL !!! And you say, "When conservatives here on FreeRepublic are holding up a piece of legislation from the Clinton Administration to support an argument in favor of U.S. military action overseas, Id say weve pretty much put the whole conservative movement to shame.
So, SHAME ON YOU!
And in no way included the kind of pull-out that Obama did (which you obviously support!).
Absolutely false.
The video is 1:22 long. The point about "going at it alone" was made before the 0:20 mark, and was followed by a litany of other reasons why a U.S. occupation of Iraq was completely untenable.
P.S. -- How many Arab nations were part of the military force that invaded Iraq in 2003?
Thanks.
Is there another U.S.-Iraq Status of Forces Agreement out there that I'm not aware of? Please fill me in on the details if that is the case.
Only Liberaltarian idiots would propose that we not go into Iraq, after the evidence and intelligence for WMD was shown and given to the President.
It would have been entirely negligent not to go in.
The fact that RonPaul, RandPaul and other conspiracy loons still can’t see this, makes them a joke. A total joke.
“And in no way included the kind of pull-out that Obama did”
You couldn’t be more wrong.
Absolutely true! The whole video is under the assumption of going at it alone.
Nice try.
The mess we are in is purely with Obama.
Exactly!
Great proof.
Read the text yourself, since you are so aware of it. There are plenty of stipulations in case the US was needed.
Thanks for proving my point!
Please cite for me any provision of that agreement that allows the U.S. to maintain a military presence in Iraq or conduct military action in Iraq on its own without the explicit permission of the Iraqi government.
Weird.
Here’s the key I think you are missing from what I can interpret from your posts.
We could have kept troops in after the withdrawal date if certain conditions were met, the most important of these being that the government of Iraq agrees. They did not.
These were the terms agreed to by both countries and signed by Bush.
Cheney's philosophy might have worked in the WWII era, when there were still more patriots than scoundrels in DC. Now with 60's radicals firmly entrenched and undermining every step conservatives take, embarking on foreign adventures with speculative goals in mind is perilous at best.
That's absolutely right since hussein obama and his team of traitors deliberately and maliciously undid the proven war of terrorism strategy of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. It's clear that Dick Cheney knew that hussein obama was and is a marxist muzzie sodomite intent on the goal of dismantling America to make way for a caliphate:
During the eight years that President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, the clear-thinking adults, were in charge, America was kept safe from the islamic hordes. Under the despotic regime of obama/holder, America has been infiltrated with muzzie terror cells, placing the country at great risk by the enemy within. Although both George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney weren't 100% perfect, neither of them ever uttered the words, "...my islamic faith..." as did hussein obama.
“During the eight years that President Bush and Vice-President Cheney, the clear-thinking adults, were in charge, America was kept safe from the islamic hordes.”
Except for that whole 9/11 thing.
