Truer words were never spoken.
Bush’s fault.
Yeah but ISIS didn’t exist under Bush’s rule either. So maybe the ISIS problem lies elsewhere.
Nor would it exist if Obama had not pulled us out of Iraq ad armed ISIS.
They existed fine under Hussein in alliance.
CNN covered up torture and abuse under Saddam Hussein to maintain their Baghdad Bureau.
The Bush administration was already prosecuting those involved in the Abu Ghraib case when the MSM tried to use the news of it to oust Bush from office (in 2004's election). All it did was serve as agitprop to flood terrorists (much like the Islamic State recruits) into Iraq.
Dear saif
Oh just shut up. For years your people sipped sweet mint tea and muttered darkly about how the US backed Saddam as a plot against Arabs
Now you’re whining about the lost opportunity your manly fighters lost when thousands of our brave troops died to remove him and give your society a clean shot at building a modern democracy.
Just. Shut up. You. Ungrateful. Sob.
Most sincerely
It’s like saying the “Islamic State” wouldn’t exist under Assad’s rule.
Would be interesting to wargame out the Iraq invasion never happening.
How would Obama destabilizing Syria, Egypt and Libya have affected the ME with Hussein still in power? Assuming, of course, that he wouldn’t have also pranced around with Saddam too.
And Saddam was going to live forever right. What happened in the Balkans after Tito would have been replicated ten fold by the pent up anger of Shiite and Sunni and Kurd.
This is also what a friend of ours, a general in the Iraqi military says.
Sorry, no more support for the Rockefeller clan using the US military for their personal war games and business ventures.
Afghanistan still makes 90% of the world’s heroin.
Every US President reports to those new world order people; Clinton, the Bush family, Obama.
New name, same job description.
Sign the orders your elite handlers tell you to.
I doubt Saddam would still be running the show if we had not intervened.
Uday and Kusay..(sp) would likely be in charge..
So how does that change your predictions..??
Sunnis are Moose Limbs who kill Shia and Baathist Moose Limbs in cold blood.
Shia are Moose Limbs who kill Sunni and Baathist Moose Limbs in cold blood.
What is the common denominator?
The notion of democracy is foreign to the Arab world.I'm too tired to bounce that one around tonight...but others are on that tack.
Sadaam, The Mad Man of Tripoli and Mubarak kept peace in their part of the world.
I just can’t see what the advantage was in deposing them.
The results speak for themselves and I still can’t name the leader of any of these places
I think Iran was modern and not radical muslim until Carter helped overthrow the Shaw.
This guy talks about how good it was in Iraq until Saddam invaded Kuwait. Saddam also used WOMD against the Kurds in Iraq. So it might have been good for some people, but not all. Saddam was Sunni.
I don’t believe the mostly-Sunni ISIS would be bothering Sunni Saddam all that much, no.
eh, Iraq was muslim under Saddam and Muslim under the IS. No difference between the two.
What went wrong with Bush’s Iraq plan was the notion that one can build a western style Democracy in Iraq after we won. We should’ve let the Iraqis to re-create their own political system and arranged we recieve a financial payout for freeing them of Saddam.
It IS Bush’s fault.
It’s true that Obama threw every soldier who died freeing Iraq from Saddam in the garbage. He handed Iraq over to Al Qaeda (ISIS).
But Bush went into Iraq knowing Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11, and knowing that the SAUDIS ran 9/11. Bush did it because the Saudis wanted it, because the Bushes are as corrupt as Clinton and Obama, and were purchased years ago by the Saudis—as were Clinton and Obama.
Yes, Obama did the FINAL act of handing Iraq over to Al Qaeda (ISIS), but Bush toppled Saddam at the behest of the Saudis.
Let there be no nostalgia for the “patriotic” Bushes. They are no more patriotic than Clinton or Obama.
