And the first person to blame Bush for the current crisis in Iraq is…

[A CA Guy]

This is our President Obama’s fault.

[JudyinCanada]

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s his fault as much as it’s his plan.

[unixfox]

This is our President Obama’s fault.

He's not my president.

F U B O!

[PapaNew]

The issue of why we went to Iraq is distinct from the issue of what we must do once we are entrenched in Iraq.

Why we went to Iraq is a Bush thing. The origins of Iraq was convoluted and confused, not unlike the origins of Vietnam. Bush owns that.

But once we were in there it's a different story. With Saddam removed, Iraq became another potential Taliban/Al-Qaeda/Islamo-terroist front. Obama owns what we do now in Irag.

[A CA Guy]

This will make vets love Obama even more.

[Cheerio]

Not sure how Bush can be blamed AFTER their proud announcement linked below, but I am sure the OMG will provide the usual cover for the most corrupt lying pResident of my 70+ year lifetime.

Joe Biden: Success In Iraq Is Obama Administration’s Achievement

"On the Larry King Live show last week, Vice President Joe Biden took credit for the success in Iraq, stating that the United States involvement in the war-torn country "could be one of the great achievements of [the Obama] administration."

[A CA Guy]

Well I know what you mean, but he is the USA President and I don't live in Tunis, so this turd is our President technically though we disapprove in every way with the guy.

I do think we did not destroy these modern day Nazis as much as we should have during the Bush years.

But Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader this Caliphate movement was captured and held captive in the Bucca camp in Iraq during the Bush years.

Obama released him (and others) as soon as he could.

I don’t think the self absorbed chattering class know how important and dangerous this formation of a Caliphate state is.

I heard that tape played on Rush today.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Bill Clintoon said, “It all depends on what the meaning of ISIS is.”

[ifinnegan]

Not really.

Iraq was in cahoots with al Qaeda and was a threat to provide WMD for more or even worse attacks.

The mistake was not going from south to north and neutralizing all pro-Caliphates as we occupied the entire Arabian peninsula and Afghanistan.

We were way too soft and it has and will come back to bite us.

[Graewoulf]

What does it take for Boehner to begin Articles of Impeachment for the Democrat’s Obama?

[ifinnegan]

It would take him starting to care.

[PapaNew]

Sadaam was not a religious fanatic. He only care about political power and he was a savage dictator. Reportedly, he did not support these Islamic radical terrorists.

Bush's reason were convoluted and confused. The WMD thing was dropped like hot potatoes and changed to the equally screwy, anti-American "Bush Doctrine" justifying our invasion to make other countries "democratic." What a load of H.S.

[x1stcav]

Uh, didn’t the Bush dooshes go out of their way to treat ol’ Lincoln with kid gloves? You know, as NE elitists to another?

[ifinnegan]

Stop parroting the left lines.

Bush admin poorly communicated.

But there was no way in Hell to not invade and make damn sure there was not going to be a nuke made available.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Saddam was no threat to the USA and kept the various tribal and religious groups inline with the necessary force. Removing him from power was a mistake.

This is Bush's fault just like the ongoing open borders disaster.

[PapaNew]

So a valid complaint about Bush is a "leftist line?"

Dang man, we're distinguished from the Left because we're supposed to be on the side of the truth and for what's right, not for partisanship but for America. If it's true, its true. It's not left, right or anything else.

Otherwise what we say is empty and meaningless. If you don't hold Bush accountable for his actions, how can you hold Obama accountable for his actions?

There was nothing about a "nuke" involved. Bush got his eye off the ball. He did a great job going after the bad guys in Afghanistan. Then he got his eye off the ball and wanted to finish what his Dad had started. His reasons were convoluted. IMO, he screwed up.
