“Bush was going in no matter what was found out and no matter what saddam decided. I dont know why.”
Look at a map. Sadam was vulnerable, and occupied the strategic location we needed.
It was brilliant, bold, and absolutely necessary deployment. I think the world would never have heard of ISIS if Obama hadn’t ceded our advantage. None of this late misery and death would have been possible.
250k wasn’t enough.
i spoke with a bunch of WWII and Vietnam vets that were furious that they just drove through troops and artillery without destroying them along the way in the rush to Baghdad.
And NOT paying 500k potential enemies 50 bucks a month??
i agree with your assessment, but Rumsfield was a jerk and this thing was a cluster #### from the beginning.
letting people loot, etc.
obama destroyed us by taking out the troops, but i expect no less from him
it is not brilliant success when soldiers are getting blown apart 2 or 3 a day while not even in combat.
500k men, seal the borders from Iran (basic ####!!!)
he has blood on his hands and a lot.
with all the money poured into rebuilding Iraq, it should be at least equal to a downtown project here.
it is not. Dick (I had more pressing matter during Vietnam) ended up disappointing me greatly.
and KNOWING we had vehicles that could protect against head injury but were not used until mass protests, the whole thing makes me sick
