I said Iraq should be partitioned into at least three nations; however, that was not doable politically in Iraq; and Iraq’s neighbors (including NATO ‘partner’ Turkey) wouldn’t have gone for an independent Kurdistan. There will be one, but it will happen in steps, and some of those steps may be bloody, or rather bloodier. And no, Bush wasn’t a “moron”.

Bush's legacy was Obama in the White House, a collapsing economy, a lot of dead Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan in two fruitless wars of nation-building, lots of lost military funds in both places, an invasion of our southern borders by hoards of illegals, acceleration of a grossly unbalanced budget, loss of civil liberties through the Homeland Security Department and TSA, a BAD SCOTUS appointment (Roberts), AN EVEN worse SCOTUS appointment tried - Harriet Miers), a HOST of poor advisers (Colin Powell, Chrissie Whitman, Alberto Gonzales, Dana Perino, etc.) I could go on and on about this guy and his father.

THEY betrayed the Reagan Revolution and are exemplars of why the GOP needs to be replaced.

I'm not closed minded about this, but that is my perception as an interested political layman.

I understand politics is the art of the possible, but I am TOTALLY disillusioned with the GOP at this point. People like Boehner and McConnell and Cantor are disgraces, and people like Allan West, Marco Rubio, Niki Haley, etc. not to mention US, deserve much better than the poor treatment they have received.

I am angry, disappointed, at that this time, frankly vengeful - not at the Dems - but at the GOP and its leadership.
