When George W. Bush began fabricating his fraudulent justification to invade Iraq, then Army Chief of Staff Eric Shinseki adamantly insisted that doing so without significant loss of life and severe injury to American troops and to innocent Iraqi civilians would require at least 200,000 more troops than Bush was proposing. He also said deposing Saddam Hussein and disbanding his army would necessitate the permanent presence of at least one division of U.S. troops to avoid the emergence of a substantial guerilla entity combined with a significant terrorist threat.
Bush fired Shinseki and went ahead with his ill-advised, criminal invasion of Iraq which cost the lives of almost 5,000 American troops, the physical or mental maiming of tens of thousands more, along with the death and maiming of almost a million innocent Iraqi civilians, and he transformed what was a projected Budget surplus into an unprecedented, monumental debt. And now there is ISIS.
And Barack Obama has never taken a step in the direction of prosecuting this criminal sonofabitch and his conspirators.
