You’ll notice that all the Republican candidates take turns expressing how Obama never should have withdrawn, and accusing him of creating ISIS, but none have discussed what happened to get to that point (except Jeb admitted that ‘mistakes were made’).
Nor do ANY of them make any statement about what should be done going forward (except Rand Paul says we should get out completely).
Although they won’t say so, I’m guessing that Republicans believe we should re-invade and this time be prepared to stay for decades and decades.
But they’re really really against, you know, Foreign Aid.
BTW, you’ll notice that the Fox “news” viewers on these boards echo the same thinking. They express seething Hatred Of Obama, but have no idea what we should be doing.
How many would be willing to send their family members?
Rumsfeld classics: “know what we know,don’t know, whatever, who cares now.” and then “You fight wiith the army you’ve got, even if you kill them needdlessly, who cares now, what difference does it make?”
How ’bout we go with the REAL unsolved problem the rampaging bull elephant created, turning the whole Middle East into a mud pit and trap.
“Hindsight is always 20-20.”Except we knew then what we know now. We knew Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11 despite what the public was led to believe. We knew the WMD evidence was forged. We knew the yellowcake claim was a lie. The White House went so far as to out an under cover CIA agent in retaliation of her husband exposing that lie in a NY Times OpEd.
And those of us that knew it was going to be a huge mistake to attack Iraq at that time, were labeled some kind of “Communist terrorist sympathizers” by the same ultra conservative types that now hate president Obama so much for withdrawing as was agreed by even the GW Bush administration. What unbelievable hypocricy!!!

They ruin politics, they ruin shopping(can’t buy it ‘cause somebody else said they wouldn’t), they ruin entertainment(music companies run music thru these things), they ruin big bunches of stuff. Focus groups are why TV is ‘focused’ on youth, because the corps have decided the other fifties are going to stay with the same brand no matter what. (Personally, I change brands regularly, just to be mean.)Focus Groups are a big factor in the homogenization and conformity of society.
