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.
We're going to see, to one degree or another, people bringing parts of Middle astern culture and religion back to the US and incorporating it into their lives, and the lives of those around them.
I’m not wrong. The GOP allowed the Dems to run a war and set ROEs. Then soldiers died because of them. Look it up. Ask their families and other surviving soldiers.
Had Bush done what he said, Iraq would be a different place. He caved as always to Dem whining about proportional response and casualties and The Holy Mother Sheehan.
