>>Anyone who still thinks the invasion of Iraq was a good idea shouldn’t even be allowed to clean the toilets in the White House.<<
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was a huge mistake that had disastrous consequences for America.
I supported Bush at the time, BUT I WAS WRONG.
The democracy he forced on Arab countries led to disastrous outcomes every time, and IRAN was the big winner.
Despite heroism of American armed forces, WE LOST.
Obama made it WORSE by withdrawing, but there was no good outcome by the time he took office.
America was diminished in so many ways by this bad war.
Everyone should admit this now.
I had a lot of arguments here on FR back in 2003 about that stupid invasion of Iraq. I don't take any of it personally, and I have plenty of respect for anyone who can stand here now and admit that it was a mistake.
