The invasion and occupation of Iraq and the removal of Saddam created an entirely new paradigm in that region.
This includes opening to the door for Iran to expand its influence (both overtly and covertly) and the advent of new terror groups.
Before our invasion of that sovereign country there was at least a measure of geopolitical balance. Now there is anarchy.
.
Military victory occurred in less then 6 weeks.
The number one contribution to the existing problems has been proven by the following Harvard study that showed
when Americans encouraged terrorists the conflict continues today.
Tell me why these statements would NOT help and the below Traitors who HELPED by their words encourage TERRORISTS who KILLED US TROOPS as this HARVARD study shows:
The Harvard Study asked: THE EMBOLDENMENT EFFECT
"Are insurgents in Iraq emboldened by voices in the news media expressing dissent or calling for troop withdrawals from Iraq?
The resounding answer WAS YES!!! according to Radha Iyengar, a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in health policy research at Harvard and Jonathan Monten of the Belfer Center at the university's Kennedy School of Government.
Using data on attacks and variation in access to international news across Iraqi provinces, we identify an “emboldenment” effect by comparing the rate of insurgent attacks in areas with higher and lower access to information about U.S news after public statements critical of the war.
In Iraqi provinces that were broadly comparable in social and economic terms, attacks increased between 7 percent and 10 percent following what the researchers call "high-mention weeks," like the two just before the November 2006 election.
Senator Kerry (D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."
U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D)"Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
NOTE: Do you not believe the terrorists LOVED to hear our troops were cold blooded killers???
Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.
then Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "The war is lost, the surge is not accomplishing anything "
