I have to admit, it felt really good when W got on TV and launched the attack on Iraq, like maybe finally the USA we grew up in was back. But it felt a lot worse when we saw things falling apart, that there was no plan to win the peace, and that it was looking pretty likely that aside from kicking Saddam out of his fancy houses, not much would be gained.
To abuse the sports analogy, when a team comes out and plays a terrific first half but then fails to continue in the second half and ends up losing the game, nobody remembers it as anything other than a defeat.
Good analogy. The mess that George Bush gave this country resulted in Obama winning the election and POSSIBLY the reelection. That is totally in his hands and for that, he should not be campaigning at all. I think it was smart of him to stay on the ranch for a while. I can’t imagine why he has 52 percent approval rate. I guess people forgot. Well last night Trump reminded the United States of the Iraq mess.
