I see once again that any critique of Obama turns into a diatribe about Iraq. OK, we got it, you don't think that removing a sadistic dictator like Saddam was worth it in Iraq but you do in Syria, Libia, and of course the Balkans. You don't think that the freeing millions of Iraqis so they too can have the freedom to vote is worth it, got ya. You didn't much care about Saddam's sons and their torture chambers, OK then. You think it was all about oil yet I don't see where we stole a drop, should have, didn't.
That said, I would have voted no for war but what the hell do I know? I am glad that the war didn't cause a huge disruption in the world economy. If anything it stimulated the US economy. Had we bombed the crap out of Saddam he would have done what he did in Kuwait and blew up his oil fields, and quite frankly I am addicted to oil, I like the stuff and I don't want to mortgage my house to be able to drive to work.
The president of Iraq wanted us out, made a big deal of it, we left to give our puppet some legitimacy, he thanks us for setting him up by fanning the flames of sectarian conflict and now he wants us back. Fuck him, and fuck anyone who wants to help him retain power.
Oh fuck off on the Maliki wanted us out bullshit. Blew it out of the water early on so you are either an ignorant son of a bitch or a pathalogical liar.
Iraq wanted a stable force to keep the country safe. Obama refused. Made the draw down to 3000 instead of the 20000 requested.
Now it turns out that you have fucked up on giving air support not only requested but by the Iraqi government begging for the purchase of fighter planes.
Guess who is helping Iraq now? Russia. Russia is going to supply the planes.
Americans wanted their sons and daughters and spouses out of there, I'm happy we did what they want rather than what anyone in Iraq wants. The place is not worth even one more serviceman dead on their soil.
