Trump lost me on this. The limited intell Bush had at the time about chemical weapons from a worst case military point of view had to be assumed correct and acted upon. Our
troops did a hell of a job and were greeted as saviors from Hussein by the populace, remember their joy when his statue was pulled down. Our mistake at this point was appointing a civilian, Bremer to pacify the divergent civilian tribes instead of The military’s eminently designed and qualified
Corp or Army Civil Affairs, G-5 Section to oversee and maintain control of for our own best interests. Had we done so Iraq might be free today and an ally in a troubled area
that might have negated the violent Muslim surge toward a Caliphate.

“The limited intell Bush had at the time about chemical weapons from a worst case military point of view had to be assumed correct and acted upon.”

So you are saying that it is OK to start 15 years of killing and maiming based limited intel?
Poorly planned and thought out venture.
Like Colin Powell also said...You break it you own it. Well the Bushes and present republicans own it, and its severly broken.
We always tell Obama to call it waht it is. its now our time to admit and call it what it is.

What Trump did is give the republican party a good enema last night. The truth sell set you free!
Go Trump Go!
