Iraq had no WMDs, Iran has them. Iraq was a buffer that kept Iran in check, once we removed and castrated Iraq we pretty much gave Iran a victory. Now Iran is going to be even more bold without Iraq as a buffer. So why did the Neocons think Invading and becoming stuck in an Iraq occupation quagmire and giving Iran a victory a good strategic move? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IranâIraq_War
I got a question. Why are we STILL in Iraq. Wasn't Dumbo going to pull us out within 16 months of his inauguration? What's the hold up?
WASHINGTON -- Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama said Tuesday U.S. combat forces should be out of Iraq by spring 2008 to end "a foreign policy disaster" but he stopped short of endorsing a cutoff in funds. The Illinois senator introduced a bill to force the redeployment under law Obama's bill would cap troop levels in Iraq at the early January level of around 130,000, when Bush announced he would send 21,500 additional U.S. forces to Iraq. It would require that troops begin coming home on May 1 with the goal of removing all combat brigades by March 31, 2008. __________________________________ Obama has not a clue
Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did."
You are aware that that was a bill he introduced as a Senator,he said as President he would have combat troops out at the end of Aug.
