Ron Paul voted against the Iraq war in 2002. His speech is on YouTube. He was ridiculed by Republican stalwarts.
Today, trillions of dollars in Americans’ taxes and debts later, Iraq is in a civil war. What do American taxpayers have to show for Bush’s “I’m Macho!” grandstanding? War debts and war dead. Plus this photo:

Bush after 8 long years had won the war in Iraq. Obama lost it in 5.
ReplyDeleteThere is absolutely no reason for out troops to be anywhere except on our borders. They hate us because we destroy their country and kill their people. DUH. Just leave it. Let them kill each other off. they have been doing it for 3000 years. We will not be to "change" that.

ReplyDeleteI agree......however Obozo decided it would be a good idea to give these people Helicopters and other military equipment. Now the bad guys have taken over and they have access to these things.
611 what are you smoking? Do you think these guys attacking now just grew out of the dirt over the last 2 years? They were always there! 10 yrs. and 100's of billions spent training the Iraqi "army" and they magically melt away at the first sign of a fight. Bush and everyone who supported the Iraq invasion were fools to think that we could dictate sectarian and political battles that have been raging for over a thousand years.
ReplyDeleteObama has done PLENTY wrong, but he has been absolutely correct from day 1 that Iraq was a terrible idea and we didn't need to be there.
751, another clown comment. Did you think by "build the Iraqi security forces" Bush meant we would hand them baseball bats?
Thank you, 821, the voice of reason.
ReplyDeleteLet extend this thought to the rest of the Middle east countries and come home to guard our own borders.
One atomic bomb would cure it all, ask the Japanese.
