Obama's Incomprehensible Iraq Policy Not So Incomprehensible

"toward the end of his term that Bush's goal was to achieve a level of stability in Iraq that even a liberal president could not easily screw up. "

Unfortunately, the progressive idea of nation building got in the way of isolating and crushing Iran which is the real inspiration behind much of the Islamic terrorism.

Agreed.

We will reap the harvest of the liberal's disregard for the danger Iran poses.

Thanks Kaslin. David Limbaugh:

I am constantly amazed at the tendency of some to use the perspective of hindsight to condemn decisions of those who did not possess the supernatural gift of predictive prophecy at the time they made their decisions... I believe that Bush and his team based their decision to invade Iraq on the best available intelligence (as to weapons of mass destruction) and a reasonable belief that Saddam Hussein fostered and supported terrorism -- not to mention his serial violation of multiple U.N. resolutions -- and thereby represented a threat to the national security interests of the United States and its allies. Democrats, who initially supported the war for political reasons, later conveniently withdrew their support for political reasons and lied through their teeth about their former support and the facts leading to it. Through their relentless, vicious attacks on Bush, they systematically undermined the public's confidence in the war and our ability to optimally wage it.
