“But the USA will not deal honestly . All we do is leave a wake of death, destruction and chaos in the ME”
You have no idea what you are talking about. That’s grossly inaccurate and plain slanderous.
In fact, by 2007 we were the ONLY entity in Iraq that all sides trusted -including the insurgents. In many conflicts one side or the other would insist on an American or Coalition officer to mediate talks and monitor agreements with opponents. We were deal brokers and enforcers. We maintained the peace with our forces. I saw it down to the unit level. Locals coming to the base LNO complaining they’d been kicked out by their landlord breaking lease, thefts, dispossession, etc. And the LNO rectified them.
We left Iraq at peace, without “death, destruction and chaos”. It was in our absence that agreements were not honored, conflicts arose and the peace was lost. That was certainly not conservatives’ or my policy. We worked hard and succeeded. Perhaps it is your policy? You know, to light the world on fire to hasten the day of the Mahdi, Savior, etc. return?
Theological nihilists. Get on a plane and join the fight where you belong, burning the world down. But you won’t because there is nothing honorable in your opinion.
That’s fine and dandy but look at the place now.
Why would anyone trust the leadership of the USA?
