Let's be honest across the political spectrum. GWB was wrong getting involved in Iraq. Obama was wrong to continue with regime change initiatives when he took office.

Yes, good idea. Give some blame where it is due. George "Religion of Peace" Bush destroyed the Christian minority in Iraq. That was the outcome of his decisions. He needed to make his Saudi employers happy by sacrificing Christians. For this George Bush should be eternally condemned by Christian conservatives.

Christianity in Iraq

In Iraq, Christians numbered about 1,500,000 in 2003, representing just over 6% of the population of the country down from 12% on 1947 in a population of 4.7 million. They numbered over 1.4 million in 1987 or 8% of the population.[1] After the Iraq War, it was estimated that the number of Christians in Iraq had dropped to less than 450,000 by 2013[2] - with estimates as low as 200,000.

As of 21 June 2007, the UNHCR estimated that 2.2 million Iraqis had been displaced to neighbouring countries with a large majority of them Christians, and 2 million were displaced internally, with nearly 100,000 Iraqis fleeing to Syria and Jordan each month.[11][12] A 25 May 2007 article notes that in the past seven months only 69 people from Iraq were granted refugee status in the United States.[13]

Wow.
How long have you been waiting for just the right thread to post some long overdue Bush slam?
You and Sean Penn agree, so its all good.
