   Might we be aware with this idiotic theme going WAY overboard, to the level of insanity, if not inane, that “W” was still whacking golf balls when Afghanistan, and yes, Iraq, were invaded. He only later switched to cutting brush “in respect for the troops”, HAR!

   
   Oh, right, Obama fails because we haven’t gone to war with Syria, Russia, Iran, Iraq again, and of course, Mexico.

   You forgot the Canadians (undoubtedly an oversight on your part).

   We need to kill more of our young people in countries that don’t want us there.

   The only way to get out of that trap is to get somebody else elected.
   Hey, it worked for Truman,Eisenhower, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush.
   (Kennedy and Nixon went a bit overboard in passing on their foreign policy problems)

   Hey, I like not going to war just fine! I guess Nebulous figures every President needs his own war. Or maybe he just hate golf because he has a high handicap?

   The war was won for the most part, it takes real lack of talent to screw it up this bad! Pull out to much to soon, draw a few red lines, ignore the geopolitical threats. Just fly around and say “I am sorry” or "it all the USA fault.
   Then you have to insult and isolate Allies.

    Except that it wasn’t. The US had committed itself to a withdrawal timetable. The “insurgents” would have taken that opportunity regardless of when troops withdrew. The war was lost before we invaded the nation that had nothing to do with the attacks on our country.

    @Truist

    Gotta love the attempt to justify a lost cause eh harley."
    Seems to me in 2008 Obama was trying to take credit for the surge that worked and the relative calm in the middle east..in 2009. That was his justification for the Obama bug out!

    ..
    Yes a contingent political time table in which GW Bush had laid out and Obama was incapable of caring out. He just left our Allies and soon to be Allies in a lurch, out blowing in the wind, just bugged out. All that we had fought for and died for is now for not. Obama the sacrifice and blood are now on your hands for not carrying through what was won!

    Okay, if not for “W” and Cheney/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz et al, that group of a few hundreds of people called “Al Qaeda”, wouldn’t have had the cause of Afghanistan and an insane invasion of Iraq, to build that small base (the meaning of the term btw) to a world-wide movement gathering in a lot of ticked off people looking for an organizational center.

    
    Yes, “Bush” DID do it, with help from his moron war-baiting chickenhawks.

    
    The lesson from Viet Nam should be that sometimes the smart move, if you won’t leave folks alone, is just lose the war as quickly, and in the least costly manner, needed to let them run themselves, without our “help”.

    It took Pearl Harbor for FDR to put the USA into WW2.
    it took Bin Ladin’s 9/11/01 for Bush to put the USA into the Global War of the anti-Israel and anti-America Muslim Brotherhood spawns in the world who are doing mass murders all around the world.
    -
    I believe the “good” should defend against the “evil”…and Jihadism is evil which should be an unquestioned fact in normal minds. Why would any moral human support terrorists who use children and even pets who don’t know what they are doing, in suicide bombings? Who use homes, schools, mosques, as missile storing and missile firing sites?
    -
    As a Christian, Romans 13:3-4 sums up the good versus evil;
    “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil…..For he is the minister of God to you for good. But if you do that which is evil, be afraid; for he bears not the sword in vain; for he is the minister of God to execute wrath upon him that does evil.”
    -
    That was what GW Bush did after Mideast terrorists trained in Afghanistan carried out the mass murder by crashing 3 airliners full of passengers into American targets, a very EVIL act celebrated wherever terrorists were hiding.
