No it was NOT a joint venture. When you have to coerce people with "You are with us or with the terrorists" and it happened right after 9/11 using falsified intel, then it's NOT a joint venture.Actually, I think the war was a mistake to begin with. Saddam may have been an ass hole, but he could have kept a lid on things, and he was leaving us alone after Desert Storm. But you need to remember that the Democrats voted for the war too, so it was a joint venture.So how long should our troops have stayed? 15 years? 50 years? Getting shot at the entire time?And ISIS certainly would have had a harder time getting established in Iraq if they had tried that under the barrels of our tanks. They only took off after our troops left.
And after the genie was out of the bottle
, we had to deal with it.
Obama pulled our troops out against the advice of our generals, and if we have to go back in now, the casualties will be higher than they would have been if we had not allowed ISIS to take over half of Iraq. Just think the Battle of Fallujah on a massive scale.
