Since Bush invaded, Iraq has had a Christian Genocide of nearly 1 million people.
Interesting, informative article. Thanks for posting.
Actually, what this article suggests is that if we turf Assad, set up an occupation force that stays for at least 8 years and holds elections for at least two cycles, Syria will become a somewhat free and democratic country. The question is whether we’re prepared to stick it out for 8 years and lose thousands of men in Syria. Given that the answer is no, not turfing Assad is probably the lowest cost option we have. If Sunni Muslims want to turf Assad, they’re free to send in an expeditionary force to do so.
When they have titty bars,then I will be convinced.
Basically this ended up with thousands of lives lost and even then, in Iraq, there was a possible way to prevent the deaths -- coopting the Baathists and Sunnis and creating a true federal state and finally, not leaving (thanks Obama) at the worst possible time.
true.
You can’t invade a dictatorship but you can liberate it.
How many innocent Americans and Iraqis died because of this foolish and bungled attempt at regime change?
How many trillions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted in the mid-east as a result of the Invasion of Iraq?
And for what gain?
We just set the stage for war to spread throughout the region and for Iran to become the preeminent power in the region.
Hey,our boys and girls didn’t die for nothing. They fought hard. They fought for each other. Some came back. Like my son. Combat,82nd. He’s a fine man now. He was there in the beginning back in ‘03. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Blood on the hands of the BushClinton Deep State for these Christian deaths in Iraq.
This would never be happening without our brave soldiers. You would still have a madman threatening the world. If not for Obozo this would have happened 8 years ago.
Algeria went through a similar turn after a long, brutal civil war against Islamists.
Syria is a special case because of its unfortunate geography as a crossroads and prize between major powers. In addition, Syria’s population is deeply fractured along religious and ethnic lines. The place has been a trouble zone from the ancient world forward.
An interesting and worthwhile read, thanks for posting.
You sir, are a fine example of a father and your son deserves our respect, admiration and thanks.
This country needs more like the both of you. Thank you.
don’t you mean since “Obama prematurely withdrew all of our stabilization & defensive forces in IRQ that created a vacuum filled by the rise of ISIS”?
Maybe the myth of the revaluation of the Dinar will come true.
Bless you and him.
“We just set the stage for war to spread throughout the region and for Iran to become the preeminent power in the region.”
Ya’ll have been saying that since 1980.
