The world is full of oppresive dictators. Not my damn problem! (I thought "Nation Building" was something Republicans wanted to avoid??). Iraq was totaly controled & no danger to me (in the US) at all.



Just a side show. Gotcha.

Want to put the blame on someone? Blame Mr. Clinton for pulling us out the first time while the JCOS screamed that we needed to stay and finish the job. The US showed its lack of resolve back in 1991/1992.

How about going back to R' Reagan who ran from Lebanon after the Marine barracks were blown up!

This isn't "Bush's war." It's just mopping up after an incompetent president made a mockery of his position as the CIC by pulling us out before our mission was complete because he's too ignorant to know anything about military tactics and too stupid to listen to those that do know.

Stop drinking the Internet Kool-Aid and read some history.
