One of the most tragic consequences of our decision to invade Iraq was that we chose the weaker enemy to invade. Iran has always been a bigger threat to us than Iraq. They deserve a beat down for all the harm they have caused us since 1979. Now, we don’t have the will as a country to take out this major threat before they go full nuclear. This was one of George Bush’s worst mistakes.
Yes
GW was obsessed with Iraq because of daddy’s unfinished business. He was more concerned with his father than any military or strategic interests. And, he did not think it all the way through.
It is fine to think ‘we will be welcomed as liberators’, but at least some thought should have been given to, what if we aren’t? Muslims are renown for their lack of gratitude, lack of any honor, and proud treachery. In fact, their religion glorifies these traits and tactics.
Had Iran been taken out first, and then Iraq, both countries would be checked by the other.
At least after Iraq, we should have continued on to Iran.
Considering that Iran is currently the leading sponsor of terrorism, and the leading cause of instability in the world today, why the world continually bows to them and always gives them a pass, while attacking other Muslim nations all around the, is beyond my understanding.
I suspect that Iran has some understanding with other major powers that keeps them safe in spite of their many promises to bring about a world apocalypse to usher in their 12th imam.
I do not believe this ridiculous Obama/Holder story about Iran, but the fact that Iran needs to be taken out is self evident, and has been for several decades.
You mention Bush, But Carter was the one who helped the Ayotollah Aassahola to get back to Iran.
Now we mention making Iran pay.
Why doesn’t Saudi Arabia make Iran pay, It was their guy that was to be killed?
The Saudi’s just sit back on their ass an collect our cash,outlaw the Bible and wait for someone else to protect them.
