“What did they die for? “
Easy. They died because Republicans didn’t have the guts to fight a war and let Democrats run it by committee.
Wrong. The GOP - Bush - succeeded in what they aimed for: deposing Saddam. They toppled the guy who was Iran’s enemy, and established a Shia gov’t that is Iran’s friend.
That’s what we accomplished. Utter stupidity.
Oh, and it also led to the election of Obama, because the American people turned against Bush and the Iraq disaster.
