Saddam was an enemy of the US who had a relatively stable regime, and was consequently a threat to the US. He regularly shot down US aircraft, and had acquired WMDs. Bush’s fault was trying to install a weak democracy in Iraq, which is now a puppet of Iran; Saddam’s government was the correct template, we just needed the leader to be pro-America.

While ISIS is certainly a threat, it would not have happened if the Iraqi region had a dictator who would crush that insurgency. Soetoro’s deliberate funding of ISIS is also a big problem. So the blame can fall on two Presidents, Bush for overestimating Iraqi competence and Soetoro for deliberately wanting ISIS to gain power, but disposing of Saddam was not a mistake.

Our problem has been getting into “nation building” after we slam them...when we should just get out.

Trying to change cultures and their people is not the way to go....they will and do resist....you will not change the muslim way of thinking..in fact just the opposite...you'll antagonize them....

They'll take all the “help” you offer them...(it's in their ideology)...and then turn against you...just exactly as they do with their own people.

He regularly shot down planes?

Not that I’m aware of, though he did light em often and shoot at them.

In regards to deposing plicks.

Should’ve been one plick at a time. I completely agree with Sadaam’s removal but, he really should have kept his head about him.

Over throwing The Best Dressed Mad Man with the Most hotties, and using Libya as a FOB to send arms to Syria in an attempt to over throw Assad is one country too many.

And losing Mubarack only imperiled Israel, Peace in the Middle East and created plenty of room for groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and ISIS.

I completely disagree about Mubarack.

We had our plate and dance card full with Iraq and Crapgahnistan.

Shoulduh managed them to maturity before moving on other countries.
