For the umpteen BILLIONTH time...
Goals in IraqA day late and a dollar short. Should have happened under Bush I. What actually happened was they probably made the place more unstable by removing Saddam.Disarming Saddam Hussein
How? Which influential terror sect was damaged?
Really? So Iraq is a Democratic nation at this time? I didn't realize that.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Silly rabbit. Has the terror attacks stopped? Has the attempts stopped? WHO'S intimidated? Tricks are for kids.
"Preserve and expand U.S. influence in the region" huh? I dunno...sounds a bit...MADE UP to me.Preserve and expand U.S. influence in the region, enhance Israel's security and facilitate resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict
Face it bub...it was one big debacle. AKA....FAILURE!!!All of which we have had success in, except for the end part of the last one about resolving Israeli Arab relations, which is probably never going to happen anyway.... could some things have been done better? Yep... does not take away from the fact that we have victory and had success
OK Racist...
Yes.. It SHOULD have been done under Bush I and the beginning of Clinton... but we pussied out to the UN...
Terrorist organizations spent much time, money, and resources battling us in Iraq... things that could have otherwise been used in other arenas
Iraq has a constitutional republic with democratic elections.. this is fact
Winning ground in the war on terror does not inherently mean that you have ended all terrorism... but nice try
Expanding influence by having another freedom based government in the region, an ally, and an intel system that is working with ours....
Idiot extremists like you want to make sound like it was a failure, just because it was not as easy as a game of Risk.... it is and was a difficult situation, but we have been victorious militarily and have had success in the mentioned goals... unlike you or others who wish to bash our military efforts, I do not count it a failure if it is less than a perfect outcome and had imperfect steps along the way
