We “won” the war in Viet Nam? Never in any way. As in Iraq, we lost when we entered it. And don’t forget the repub pres candidate who committed treason and prolonged the war. You are Harley, aren’t you? And not a smarter version either.
Certainly – Obama invaded Iraq, claiming that it was stockpiling WMDs and implying that it was behind 911. Then he disbanded the Iraqi army, making hundreds of highly paid and powerful officers available to form a new organization that because ISIS. Even more amazing, he was able to do all this while W was the president!
“Funny how the NY Times ran a story not to long ago about the casualties from chemical weapons the U.S. military suffered in Iraq.It seems not a single liberal read it.”
These casualties from chemical weapons — how many were from Saddam’s Iraqi troops using them against American troops?
The articles I read, and I don’t remember if they were from NYT, said that the casualties were from finding chemical weapons that we sold them in the Reagan admin. They couldn’t be fired, but they leaked nerve gas or whatever when the troops were trying to dispose of them.
So, is that why we invaded Iraq? Because of all them WMDs that Saddam ‘had’?====From the NYT article Oct 14 of last year:
The United States had gone to war declaring it must destroy an active weapons of mass destruction program. Instead, American troops gradually found and ultimately suffered from the remnants of long-abandoned programs, built in close collaboration with the West.==I’ll let you find it on your own, assuming you want to read it. First entry when you search on ‘Iraq casualties from chemical weapons’.
I’ll be interested to see what quotes you want to present.
Oh, Harley. You must get paid for such nonsense, really, this is not all up to your usual standards of insightful and discerning commentary. Come on man, we all want you on your game to conquer those libs.
BUSH LIED, PEOPLE DIED, and HE AND CHENEY, with RUMSFELD AND FRIENDS SOLELY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF ISIL, PERIOD!!!
If Rumsfeld and Cheney had even followed their own advice the first time, and told W to stop, as they did GHW after HE screwed up, hundreds of thousands would still be alive, and ISIL would have no reason to exist, because Iraqis would have been left to run their own country. It would still most likely be a total mess, but it would be THEIRS.
If Obama shoots at them, he’s wrong. If he doesn’t carpet bomb, he’s wrong. NO matter what he does, or doesn’t do, he’s wrong, in the eyes of the righties.
Too bad they weren’t smart enough when “W” ran for re-election to use their power to correct the “eye” problem, and pluck it out. After all, it was SCOTUS not the people or popular vote that put him in the first time. NOt like he was ever elected that first time.
One more time. GW put Malicki in power and signed the Status of Forces agreement to remove troops. When Obama asked the duly elected govt of Iraq to keep troops in, they said beat it. Were we supposed to overthrow the new govt too?
Right, It was Obama who invaded Iraq and overthrew Hussein. I forgot ‘cause I’m an idiot. Good thing rightwing chickenhawks know their history — how could we justify all the blood on our hands and all the American kids we still need to send off to die if we didn’t have such geniuses to guide us?
Once again, liberals ignore that what Bush signed was an interim Status of Forces Agreement. That’s why the first thing Obama did upon taking office was send Biden to re-negotiate the Status of Forces Agreement. Since Obama had no inclination to keep troops in Iraq whatsoever, this negotiation was a farce. The first time Maliki said “No” Biden was on his plane traveling back to the US.BTW, I must have read a dozen times on here today how Obama ended the War in Iraq. And another dozen times how Bush signed the SOFA and Obama had no choice. That would mean Bush ended the War in Iraq. Which is it libbies? It can’t be both.
Obama followed through on an arrangement negotiated and agreed upon by the Bush administration..There are many reasons to criticize the Obama administration, but this isn’t one of them. Meanwhile, the only possible way to support the GOP is to be completely ignorant of what they’ve done.

Oh, I didn’t know Obama was to blame for those fanatical, murderous idiots.
Pure idiocy

And Obama is also responsible for global warming, police brutality, taxes, death, cancer, and any mayhem plaguing our planet today.

If you really read this comic it say ISIS World as the place of No Hope, No Change, and No Strategy. It seems like a pro Obama cartoon.

What, you mean that by Keeping the agreement that G W Bush signed, the President is at fault for the terrorist Army that G W Bush created?.
