Get lost troll
I do miss Saddam. Sure, he was a genocidal psychopath. But who over there isn’t?

Go pi$$ up a rope, moron.
Exactly. He is par for the course for the Arab world. It was a fool’s errand to try to create Democracies over there.
Should have left after getting Saddam. Actually should have taken care of Afghanistan first one thing as a time.
And just what do you think was going to replace him?
You can't have democracy where Islam reigns. Islam is a fundamentally totalitarian system. It simply cannot abide the existence - no, even the idea of - civil society.
The best that we can hope for over there is that strongmen whom we can buy off or influence rule. We had that in Saddam. Sure, Shrub's daddy had to kick his ass. I was all for that. But Shrub's papa was way too smart to smash Humpty Dumpty and then try to put him back together again. He understood that Saddam's job for us was to keep a lid on the Brit-created cauldron called Iraq.
Tragically, his idiot kid wasn't so smart.
But neither were the American public at large. The fact that "conservatives" here think going into Iraq in the first place was just a peachy keen idea gives me little hope for the near-term survival of whatever is left of the Republic.

Why aren't they claiming credit for what they've done?
There's really no lower form of life than a Neocon.
No different than what’s there now. That whole region has been a mess since pre-Ottoman times.
This is what I always understood, because the USS Abraham Lincoln had just returned from it’s mission.
CRIMINAL?! Srsly? Some very interesting posts you got there on other threads in your history too ...
Barf alert needs an added nausea alert and projectile vomiting caution ... the criminal regime in power now is writing the History the way it fits their feckless failure being shifted to ‘It’s Bush’s fault’. These criminal bastards always cause more death and mayhem than anything else spewing out of America under their control. The Russian leadership must be literally rolling in the aisle laughing so hard at our foolishness. America is no longer a Republic of we the people, and the foolish people are unable to see that truth as it stomps them down and destroys the lives of hundreds of millions world-wide in their name.
The truth means nothing to democrtas and apparently not to their enablers, the republicants. Weapons of mass destruction were found and neutralized in Iraq. were atomic weapons found? No, just the means to build them. But if Saran gas in delivery systems is not weapons of mass destruction then democrats should sprinkle them on their cereal and sugar their lattes with that little item. The press should be made to ‘neutralize’ the saran by drinking the binary components, the enemy bastards.

You maybe just forgot that Clinton campaigned on taking out Saddam in 1992 or that he bombed Iraq starting in June of 1993 and continuing for eight years.
What was so great about Kuwait?
We know the media made up stories about Iraqi “atrocities” there. And we also know that the Kuwaitis were side drilling into Iraqi oil fields.
Who cares if they were Iraq’s “19th province”. We should never have gotten involved in intra-Arab squabbles.
Agreed. Free trade with all, messy foreign entanglements with none. Fortress America. If they attack us, then we waste them. Think Genghis Khan on steroids. Otherwise, let them kill each other. It’s no skin off our nose.
