Sadly, the Donald has a lot to learn in the foreign affairs area - he continues to say that we shouldn’t have gone into Iraq because the area was “stable” - in fact it was a powder keg ready to go off - Saddam was a Sunni running a minority Sunni regime in a majority Shiite country by way of a reign of terror that had him killing tens of thousands of his own people every year to hang on to power - he had won two prior wars against Shiite Iran with the help of the US, but after Kuwait, we weren’t going to help him again - his army was badly weakened after the Kuwait disaster - the pictures along the “Highway of Death” showing hundreds of his burned out military vehicles and the way his military collapsed in a few weeks when we entered Iraq suggest that he wouldn’t have lasted for long against the next Iranian incursion - so by now it’s very possible that without our having gone in, Iraq would by now be under the control of Iran, including the 500 tons of yellow cake - ie nuclear weapon raw material - that Saddam had collected and which was transferred out of Iraq after we took over.....

$2 Trillion added to national debt.
Thousands of our brave young soldiers killed.
Tens of thousands of our soldiers maimed.
Iraq is splintered.
ISIS became reality.
No WMD’s were found.
Iran is calling shots in Iraq.

Iraq war was unmitigated disaster, the biggest blunder in foreign policy since Vietnam war, another horrible foreign policy blunder.

Trump is completely vindicated on opposition to Bush-43’s Iraq war blunder.
