You still are contradicting your claim that there was “peace” in Iraq under Bush.

The “flypaper” justification for spending (or rather, borrowing) $1 trillion and losing 4500 American lives,to turn Iraq over to the Shiites (and make it an ally of Iran) is insanity. Most Americans recognize Bush’s Iraq War was a disaster. That’s a big reason his nobody is supporting his brother for president. And why Trump is leading - after he calls the Iraq invasion a disastrous idea. If Americans agree on nothing else, they seem to agree on “no more Bushes”

Proof - Biden

“I am very optimistic about — about Iraq. I mean, this could be one of the great achievements of this administration. You're going to see 90,000 American troops come marching home by the end of the summer. You're going to see a stable government in Iraq that is actually moving toward a representative government,” said Biden.

“I spent — I've been there 17 times now. I go about every two months — three months. I know every one of the major players in all of the segments of that society. It's impressed me. I've been impressed how they have been deciding to use the political process rather than guns to settle their differences.”

Insanity is allowing the Muslim Terrorists to go on the offensive and attack us on home turf. 9/11 cost us almost 3,000 lives in one morning. The NYMEX was closed for about 1 week. The Pentagon partially destroyed. Air traffic completely halted for how many days? The US economy came to an almost complete stop. How many hundreds of billions did we lose in one morning? Crap, you are talking about years of war In Iraq that cost (tragically) 4,600 lives. Most “smart” Americans get that. But you don't which makes you what?

And those are the facts, Jack.
