We should have thought about this potential outcome before Saddam was removed. Instead the White House gave Paul Bremmer big bags of $100 bills to pass out to whomever he wished. I wonder how many he kept.
Lots of people like Feinsteins husband made tons of money. Thousands of servicemen died and many more are disabled for life. What did this war accomplish for the USA, except costing us trillions? We could have kept troops in Iraq for another 20 years and spent another trillion but what would that have accomplished? The Middle East needs to take care of itself and we need to extricate our self.
If we keep up this war mongering, calling it fighting terrorism, while it creates terrorism in the process, it will break us, and force most average Americans to work until they drop. There will be no money to run America responsibly for Americans and no bailouts either. The Wall St hucksters got the bailout and we got the bill. If Obama wasn’t under their thumb they’d be in Guantanamo as financial terrorists.
Just the idea of another Bush or Clinton in the White House makes me literally sick to my stomach.
Really???
What kind of isolationist candidate you think is going to be able to effectively “circle the wagons” (protect our homeland) while we “hope” the middle east straightens itself up???
Seems to me cutting and running after the hard work to win is just so cavalierly thrown away because some people believe we can isolate ourselves from the threat overseas...
But hindsight is 20/20 right??? Easy to second guess previous efforts, because some people believe if we ignore the problem it just goes away...
What again, based upon your analysis, should be the results of your idea, if it were to be implemented???
Do you agree with Obama and his outstanding courage and application of “reasonable” foreign policy???
How’s that working out so far???
Exactly. Instead, we opted for the pipe dream "democracy building" routine, which was doomed to fail.

IT takes time to change things for the better. ONce we pulled out there were no good options. I’m sure we’ll probably have to return there again, but it sure seems that we are on the same side with the Russians when it comes to wanting to kill these people.
The idea of any more Americans dying there is sickening. Obama is the worst president in our history, and it’s only going to get worse, my friend.
