RE :”Invading Iraq was the biggest blunder is US foreign policy history.
Oh, and Bush gave us ethanol and banned Edison light bulbs too.”

Unfortunately you are right on all three.

I seem to recall that Rummy kept US troops outside Fallujah until after the 2004 election so as to not have casualties hurt GWBs chances in the election, letting many of the killers slip out.

Then he waited till Pelosi took the House in 2007 to go to congress for surge funding.

And GWBush got Obama elected, so it was all for nothing.

Everything you said has been said by any number of true blue leftists

You should look carefully at what you swallowed

We were in Fallujah well before the election in November 2004, and Rummy resigned the day after the election in 2006, so he wasn’t even around to ask Congress for funding in 2007. Major fail there, I’d say.

I don’t believe taking Iraq out of the hands of Saddam was a blunder at all. The International community knew this was coming...it just was a matter of timing and conditions to pull that off.

The US has the largest Embassy in the world In Iraq....and the nation will survive these attacks as they are certainly coming from Iran’s support, who still covets control of Iraq. The nation is earmarked for vast enterprises and growth...by the Globalists....which is why so much investment continues to go there.

If you want to know why we bother with the Middle East...it’s simply a Globalist push and will continue to be so...and at the rate we’re going they can handle Iraq without us at any time...but it’s always easier to call the US first.

Wrong. You bit the lefty bait and scrofulated your own bippy.

Ping to my last, and no, Dubya did not get Obama elected. GOP-E moneybags who sat out the election in the expectation that Hildebeast would be the nominee and oblige them by

• Standing at the bottom of the hill while the Giant Financial Derivatives Smashup fell on her watch and
• Passing some kind of Sovietcare to get them off the hook for their employees' health care plans

sat on their moneybags and waited out the election, and prepared to wait out the four following years while Beastwoman did the dirty work and got the blame.

There are a lot of people among the superrich who understand that if your net worth declines 30%, it's worth it if everyone else's declines 75%, their bargaining power disappears, and everyone in the country has to defer to you and KYA because you're the only guy left with any cash.

They like that.
