You’re in sync with the Left when you say the invasion of Iraq is the cause of radical Islam. Were there Islamist before the Iraq War? How about when the Islamist took over the US Embassy in Iran? How about when they fought against the Soviets in Afghanistan? How about when they blew up our Embassy in Lebanon and the Marine Corp barracks? But, never mind, Trump, like Obama, expect to get credit as experts for being against the war in Iraq. And it was the Iraq wars fault that Mohammad was born and preached violence and conquest by the sword.
And look you genius hawks made peace with the multi-cultural left and now look at the mess YOU MADE.
I'm in sync with reality when I say the invasion of Iraq was a mistake and a disaster on many levels. Did it cause Radical Islam? of course not. Did it empower Radical Islam? Yes it most certainly did. Did any good come of it? Hell no.
The invasion of Iraq toppled one of radical Islam's most powerful and dangerous enemies.
There was a dark, hideous, ugly lid on radical Islam in Iraq. Its name was Saddam Hussein. Somehow, we thought pulling off and throwing away that lid would make things better.
We made the same mistake in Serbia, and Libya...and now Syria. And GOP office-holders from McCain on down have been right there leading the cheers.
Republicans do not deserve a pass on their geopolitical mistakes, whatever "good intentions" might superficially lie behind them. They are a party of insiders, well-connected to powerful financial interests who are profiting from these "wars for democracy" in unethical ways.
There is no need for any GOP voter to foolishly fall in line behind deliberate error.
