The Iraq War caused the rise of ISIS?

Wow, I thought is was Obama and Hillary deserting Iraq, helping the overthrow of Ghadafi (sic) and Obama’s failure to attack ISIS in it’s infancy. You know, the J.V. Team.

Blair is a Putz.

Rove is looking more and more like the architect of the bridge of San Luis Rey!

It just POs those Bush boys so badly when the base won't simply fall in line.

He’s let Trump really get under his skin. Shows how “not ready” he is for the job.

“I’ve got a lot of really cool things I could do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and me feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

Thank God America is awakening.

Interesting point. Just think what the MSM would do to him if he got elected. They’d figure out how to work him and he’d be nothing more than their puppet. He’d be more democrat that Pelosi, Reid, obama or Jane Flonda to name a few.

Thank the Good Lord for Trump!

Jeb helped murder Terri Schiavo by starvation.

He should STFU.

“Deserting” Iraq? So you admit that we created such a mess by invading that in order to keep groups like ISIS from going wild, we would have to occupy that he’ll hole country forever?

Stupid George Bush. Saddam had his boot on the jihadis - and he was a counterweight to Iran. But “W” thought it was worth American blood and our tax dollars to overthrow him

Essentially, Bush took a baseball bat to a hornets nest

Yep, Obama left Iraq without a plan. He just said screw it, and now we are reaping the benefits. Once you are committed, you should be in it to win it.

Thanks to our Liberalized PC Culture, we made up stupid ROE’s and told our Brave Soldiers to deal with it. That’s how you lose a War, and Obama was the right man for the Job when it came to losing.

Obama just deserted the place to make sure that President Bush was saddled with the failure. Obama had no interest in Winning or coming up with a strategy to leave a stable Nation behind.

Obama allowed ISIS to march into Iraq with no opposition. His JV Team has turned into a Monster, not that he cares. He let it happen and he could not care less as long as he knows the blame will be on Bush.

Now, if you are asking my opinion of what should have been done in the first place, it’s very simple. Bush 41 shouldn’t have listened to that turncoat Colin Powell back in 1991 when we were decimating the Iraq Military coming out of Kuwait. We should have ended it then, but we didn’t.

Clinton came in and let Iraq shoot at our Aircraft with no pushback, embolding Saddam to build his Military back up.

Papa Bush wimped out, Clinton ignored it and Bush 43 was stuck with the mess 12 Years later. Like it or not, the World changed after 9/11 and threats from Dictators were taken much more seriously. It’s water under the Bridge now.

The second time around we should have just demolished every Military Target from the Air until Saddam complied with the UN Resolutions. Instead, we sent in Ground Troops, a big mistake. But hey, nobody asked me my opinion at the time.

We had two Nephews serve over there and in Afghanistan. They made it out alive for which we are grateful.

As it turns out, Trump was right and Bush was wrong.
I still blame Colin Powell, but Bush 41 listened to that Bastard and the Die was Cast. Just my opinion. There are many other people on this Site that know much more about it than I do.

BTW - It makes no difference what I admit. It is what it is.

The war was a stupid idea from the beginning, bringing chaos to Iraq. If you think the US taxpayers should have been saddled with the cost of perpetually occupying that country - to minimize the mess we created - I consider that just another form of big-government, big-spending liberalism. The only difference is you want the federal government to do its disastrous programs overseas.

“NO” TO ILLEGALS FLOODING THE COUNTRY.

WE DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE ‘TONE’... DEFEND THE BORDERS. DO IT NICE OR DO IT LOUD - BUT DO IT!

DO YOU GET THAT JEB?

No, I said that we should have finished the Job in 1991.
I also said once we are committed, you finish the Job.

PC has infested our Military making it almost impossible to wage War where you kill People, break things and show your Enemy no mercy.

Did you disagree with going to War in 1991 like Biden, or should Saddam have just invaded Kuwait with no consequences?

Remember, the World was dependent on Middle East Oil Supplies back then and Saddam would have controlled most of that Oil. Time changes perspective and History is revised.

Maybe if we had Fracking Technology and had discovered all that Oil in North Dakota back then, we would have let Saddam keep Kuwait and their Oil Supplies.

See how easy it is to transpose today’s reality to the past?

Gee, if only Ron Paul was Elected President this discussion wouldn’t be happening. Supposition is so much fun.

Like I said, it’s water under the Bridge. I’m not arguing with you about any of this. I stated my Opinion. I did not accuse you of anything as you seem to be doing with me.

Are you a Rand Paul Supporter or a Trump Supporter? I believe they both agree with your assessment.
