Point one: George W. Bush appears to me to be a decent person. He'd make good next door neighbor. But I will not let any admiration for him as a person blind me to his disastrous foreign policy mistakes. To ignore those mistakes is to allow them to be repeated.
Point two: The Iraq war was not won by the end of 2008. Iraq was only at relative peace because US troops kept the lid on everything. That is not a won war. It is a fair argument to criticize Obama for drawing down there. With those troops in place, Iraq could have ended up like a stable South Korea. But I very much doubt that. You are, of course, free to disagree.
Point three: Consider the scorn President Ford received for not supporting South Vietnam. Ford, in essence, let South Vietnam fall. He would not commit any more American blood or treasure. So who botched Vietnam? Was it Ford, or was it LBJ? Obama is in Ford's role here.
I'm always interested in Freeper opinions. But insults serve no value. So if you want to trade insults, I think I'll pass.
With those signals, suddenly all of the troublemakers in Iraq, to Libya, to North Korea started making noise again.
Not a good comparison with Vietnam. Obama didn't just inherit a poorly run situation. Obama had his own agenda: "Arab Spring"
You mean like keeping the peace between the two Koreas in the DMZ ? We are still there after what 60 years.
Iraq is not Viet Nam. I will not go there. But if you insist, pulling out of Viet Nam was a win for China and Russia. Now Russia and China are in Syria.
God Bless your restraint, LR, I wish I could write as well and dispassionately as you, but I tend to go Lopeover on people who use caps to attack a good post. That was an excellent response, and so clear.
