Kurds are still here. Saddam’s old forces joined up with ISIS.

We not only ousted Iran’s foe, Saddam, we presided over the establishment of a new government in Iran that was led from the first (from 2005 or so) by allies to Iran. So now, the government of Iraq that Bush helped set up is IRAN’S CLOSEST ALLY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Worth every penny of the $1 trillion that we paid for that war, wouldn’t you say?

You sound like a real strong Bushbacker, so I suspect you’d say, “yup, it was worth the money!”

Sorry, typo.

We not only ousted Iran’s foe, Saddam, we presided over the establishment of a new government in IRAQ that became IRAN’S CLOSEST ALLY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

“Thank you George Bush!!!!” — Iran.

Iran was scared of the US when the US defeated Saddam. It was only after the Left, you and your kind, and the MSM decided that the war in Iraq was a failure with every car bomb that went off.

How many times was Abu Ghraib on the front pages of the NTY? How many times was the death of an American Ambassador on the cover of the NYT? When was the last time the US lost an Ambassador?

No, Obama’s withdrawal of the US military in Iraq was the cause.
