WRONG... Democracy is MOB Rule by mobsters...
Iraq has always had “democracy”...
As have Russia, China, UK, France, Germany.. all of Urp..
AND for a few decades the United States..
Abandoned Iraq or surrendered to Iran?
“I met up with Sami al-Askari, a Shia politician close to Maliki who believed that an agreement between State of Law and Iraqiya was the best way forward. But he also told me that everyone except the Americans realized that the formation of the government was perceived as a battle between Iran and the United States for influence in Iraq. The Iranians were active, while the U.S. embassy did nothing. Qasim Suleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s al-Quds Force, continued to summon Iraqis to Iran in order to put together a pan-Shia coalition. The Iranians, al-Askari said, intended to drag out government formation until after August 31, when all U.S. combat forces were due to leave, in order to score a “victory” over the United States.”
Stinks like a ferret, or a Jarrett.
Bring back the Constitutional Republic..
Does anyone really think that the Iraq fiasco would result in anything but chaos and civil war? Why are conservatives, of all people, so willing to endorse war dreamed up by arrogant politicians and policy wonks? Too bad Wolfowitz and Perle and the rest of the war cheerleaders weren’t the first to be cast into the conflict and maybe sent back 3,4, or 5 times, spending years away from their loved ones. Yeah, war is a racket.
Yea right we brought democracy to Iraq....barf!
Ambassador Christopher Hill should be strung up on corruption, incompetence, and gross negligence charges, as well as his then boss Hillary.
