Assuming that Saddam had chemical weapons, he had no delivery systems to endanger security of United States.

I am against borrowing money from China and Japan to fight wars in middle-east to protect flow of oil to China and Japan. If we had money in Treasury to act as world police that would be fine and dandy. I just can not see the wisdom of going deeper in debt with borrowed monet to keep acting as world policeman.

You have to love it. Calling Trump a man who buys and sells politicians. Sort of like a prostitute being offended that some people pay for sex. LOL. This is the best election cycle in history!

Exactly! No one seems to remember “Arab Spring”. Everyone remembers Bush was an idiot. Shows the value of propaganda.

I don’t believe removal of the troops would have created ISIS either. I believe there was ACTIVE policy of arming rebels in the Middle East that contributed to the instability. Other nations are involved in the arming/funding of rebels to take on national armies in Libya and Syria

I believe Russia see what’s happening in the Middle East and tried to mimic it in Ukraine

At the most Iraq could have had some excess chemical weapons which were absolutely no immediate and present danger to the security of United States.

A valid reason to go after Soddom was because he attempted to assassinate GHW Bush...an act of war. And a proper question to Hitlary and the bent one is: Why didn't he prosecute the war? He was the one in the UN and before Congress making all these claims of Irack's nuclear capabilities...but then he did nothing.

Certainly not worth the enormous sacrifice in blood and treasure, with the resulting chaos we find ourselves in

True, we should have nuked the Soddies (Riyadh, Medina and Mecca) Yemen, Baghdad and Tehran.

Wherever chaos breaks out over there, should be lit up and vaporized. Let the ragheads "jihad" against fire from the sky.

I did not, the 911 terrorists were mostly all Saudi Arabians, NOT Iraqi’s. Did you forget that? And the training camps were in Afghanistan run by another Saudi, Osama Bin Laden. Did you forget that also? How convenient!
