obama inherited an Iraq so successful that he and Biden intended to take credit for one of the greatest achievements of his regime.
Now that his foolishness has made Iraq a basket case he wants to go back and blame Bush.
It is sickening to read the hindsight-generated expressions of political hatred based on what happened after an action supported by BOTH sides turns into a quagmire. Going into Iraq was a bilateral move.Iraq
CNN/ORC Poll. Sept. 6-8, 2013. N=1,022 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.
The poll found that the majority of Americans have felt Iraq was a mistake from the beginning.
"In view of the developments since we first sent our troops to Iraq, do you think the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Iraq, or not?"
And to see DICK defend such a misguided and contrived decision is just sickening. He is a rich, old, delusional old man that needs to just go away.
The Boy King Obama claims that the complete removal of troops was Iraq's call.
Actually, he offered them such a meager presence that they scoffed and declined.
Generals recommended 30K...Obama cut to next to nothing.
Well lookee here......liberal creeps lying again.
Seventy-Two Percent of Americans Support War Against Iraq
It's true. They did. They were duped by the so called liberal media who was parroting the Talking Points put out by the Bush Administration. Those talking points were often misleading and some times just flat out lies. The Administration would leak a story for publication on Friday and then cite that story as a fact for one of their Talking Points on the Sunday talk shows. Simple really, the American public has ADD. But of course as the real fact came out and all of their talking point debunked in public the support for that war diminished.
Liberal media succumbed to the fear factor, threw partisanship aside, as 9-11 attack was still fresh in everyones mind.

Obies talks were only 6 months long while Bushs talks lasted 18 months.
Looks like Obie didn't try real hard.

Hahaha that Biden is just full of gaffes isn't he?
So why was it that President Bush couldn't get an agreement to leave a small contingent in Iraq. Was there a specific point that the Iraqis just wouldn't budge on?

The media was used as a tool to pull on the heartstrings to help morph the outrage we felt about that day into support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq, a country not involved in 9-11. They helped the Bush Administration convince Americans that Iraq who had just gone threw 20 years of war, devastation and crippling sanctions was somehow a threat to the worlds remaining superpower. They just don't sound very liberal to me.

There were over 100,000 troops in Iraq when Bush left office at the start of 2009.

During his lame duck period he signed the SOFA with Iraq. It established that U.S. combat forces would withdraw from Iraqi cities by June 30, 2009, and all U.S. forces will be completely out of Iraq by December 31, 2011.
President Obama tried to get that changed, but the same sticking point that prevented President Bush for getting a long term commitment, that of immunity for our troops, prevented Obama from getting a long term deal as well.

In polling done by Gallup/USA Today before September 11, 2001, a majority of Americans already supported sending US troops into Iraq to remove Saddam from power

Seventy-Two Percent of Americans Support War Against Iraq
72% support.......in a poll from 2003........
The Democrap mantra, "Well, I WAS for the war before I was against it."
Now sing along, polesmokers.

Let me remind you :::You got it wrong. Anyone who would support keeping SADDAM in power is delusional. SADDAM had to go. The United States tried other means besides a ground invasion for 12 years prior to 2003 to remove him, but they all failed. This was the last option and it was important it to execute in 2003 as most countries in the region were no longer enforcing sanctions and the embargo against Baghdad do to the money to be made by becoming involved in trading and black market Iraqi oil sales that were making SADDAM BILLIONS of dollars a year. Given that situation, SADDAM needed to be removed before he could rebuild his military capabilities that would make any confrontation with him in the future far costlier than what was experienced.
Also, the most accurate polling company, GALLUP in its last poll on the Iraq war showed that over 40% of Americans DO NOT consider it a mistake to have sent US troops into Iraq.
Let me remind you also that Dick Cheney along with George Bush were re-elected President and Vice President by a popular vote of 51% in November 2004 long after everyone had made an assessment of the invasion of Iraq the missing WMD etc. etc.! That vote was far more accurate than any polls since it involved over 100 million people!
Flashback 2004: "Former US homeland security chief Tom Ridge charges in a new book that top aides to then-president George W. Bush pressured him to raise the "terror alert" level to sway the November 2004 US election."
USA TODAY reporting:
"The Bush administration periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though then-Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge argued there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level, Ridge now says.
Ridge, who resigned Feb. 1, said Tuesday that he often disagreed with administration officials who wanted to elevate the threat level to orange, or "high" risk of terrorist attack, but was overruled."
It's pretty shitty to prey on people's fears to sway an election.
Or did you forget?
Lie & Milk FEAR off the populace to win an election.
Slimy bastards.
Bullshit! Bush won! Allegations like that won't change that, plus as President Bush has far more access to intelligence and how could anyone justify going light on security or dismissing threats after 9/11. To do so would be criminal!
Plus all of these allegations were out there before the election.
There were multiple high profile movies, including that one by Michael Moore. You had Hollywood and the music industry doing everything they could to lie and disparage Bush to get him out of office. Yet, he still won by a firm majority in the popular vote. The first majority win by any President in the popular vote since 1988! A very significant accomplishment and endorsement of Bush/Cheney and their policies in the first term!
Wait. So Saddam wasn't a murderous evil motherfucker?
He DIDN'T have rape rooms?
He didn't invade Kuwait?
He never used WMDs on the Kurds?
It was ALL just a lie?
Wow.
That's real news.
Link therefore needed.
You can't blame Vice President Dick Cheney for being upset that President Obama threw away the U.S. victory in Iraq just because he was hell bent on getting out of a war because it "wasn't his".
Remember, Iraq was pretty secure and stable in Jan. 2009 when President Obama took over. If President Obama had agreed to leave 23,000 troops in Baghdad it almost certainly would be.
Remember also, people defending Obama said he could not agree to leave U.S. troops in Iraq because Iraq would not agree to a status of forces agreement that kept U.S. troops from being tried in Iraqi courts.
What they forget is that the U.S. military recommended keeping 23,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. Obama refused.
They then recommended 14-18,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. Obama refused.
They then took their recommendation down to 10,000 U.S. troops in Iraq. Obama refused.
Obama eventually agreed to keep only 3,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq. Malaki was not going to go to bat politically just to keep only 3,000 U.S. troops in country so he said the hell with it.
No matter how you cut it, President Obama had plenty of opportunities to keep a decent sized U.S. force in Iraq that would have prevented all this from even being attempted.
But Obama threw it all away.
