Hey, I know Bush and his administration are at fault for starting this 'mess'...but its not like the Democrats, including Hillary aren't guilty as well.
IIRC....there was an article a while back proving that most of Congress didn't bother to properly read the intelligence report. Most of them voted without actually knowing what was at stake....or how the intelligence stacked up.
Hillary was one of them.
At least Obama has stayed his course from the get-go....didn't like it then, doesn't like it now. Hillary goes with the flow. First she supports it...then she supports a bill that tries to force an end to everything.
Like I said before....leaving 2-3 million casualties by pulling out of Vietnam was a 'great' exit strategy. If Iraq is on the brink of civil war now....maybe not as much since the surge, but still, what do you think will happen once the US suddenly pulls out with creating at least some semblance of a government?
Even Obama is off his rocker on this one...and frankly I think he will lose a lot of votes because of his ignorance or just plain 'stupidity' towards Iraq. I admire his willingness to implement change, and think as a person, his morals, his ideals give him the ability to be a great leader. But he is very obviously showing his ignorance on foreign policy issues. Will it be a big deal in the end? Perhaps....but if he surrounds himself with viable, and intelligence people I don't think he'll have a problem.
And yes, I really, really dislike Hillary. I think she is the prime example of everything that is wrong in Washington. Politicians that vote, and act based on how the people throughout America react. If there is 'one' good quality about Bush, its the fact that he has stood by what he has started from the get-go. Perhaps stubbornly too....but its better then the cut and run idea that so many Democrats think will work.
'The surge isn't going to work'....
'Well, maybe it is working now'....
