Our bombers were over Europe because we were at war with Germany. Attacking Iraq helped to give us Obama, Isis & a stronger Iran. Every day, it seems like a bigger mistake.

No, the intended purpose of the bombers (and I specialize in this) was to first and foremost destroy the Luftwaffe on the ground. They failed. They destroyed it in the air by being "bait" to draw them up. In June 1943 the Luftwaffe was sending 20% of its total force just to stop the bombers. By June 44, it was 40%.

The only way to destroy the actual shooting terrorists---without getting into the whole "destroy Islam as an ideology thing"---was to get them to come OUT of the 20 nations they were in and fight. In my book "America's Victories," I calculated, based on Iraqi morgue statistics (and apparently no one else has done this) the casualty levels of the terrorists. We had in three years killed, wounded, or captured 250,000---and that is an extremely low estimate. We easily could have doubled that number because those were only the "non-civilians" processed in Iraq alone. No, the invasion not only was right, it should have been more completely engaged.

Horse hockey!

Mishandling everything we accomplished gave us those things. The only thing the Bush administration did wrong was ignoring the democrats weaponizing the narrative.

We were going to get Obama regardless. It was decades in the making courtesy of George Soros.
