Mike Luckovich for March 27, 2015

They only did it because of what Obama’s was going to do later.

Well, somebody had to say it…

What ever, if three wars didn’t solve the problem why would anyone think a fourth would. The definition of being insane is someone who keeps repeating the same behavior and expects the outcome to be different.

“IT’S ALL OBAMA’S FAULT!”. There. No need to read all those ODS comments now.

This cartoon could be expressed in text with the phrase “actions have consequences”. I would have added Reagan’s shadow, though, not just for the support of Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan, but for the failure to do anything to help after the Russians left.

The commenters on this strip make the Ten Cats commenters look like Mensa material.

Harley, devoted Rush listener and champion speller, “knows” everything he said is true. -The guiding principle is Hatred Of Obama, and therefore the invasion of Iraq was not only justified, it was the best thing the U S has ever done in the region.-And adhering to the agreement that Bush signed just before leaving office (in order to give his successor ‘flexibility’), was the worst thing ever done by the U S. -And, if you parse The Decider and The Dick’s words ‘carefully’ enough, you will find that they didn’t actually, you know, lie…. Well, maybe just a little and with some frequency, but it was for our own good. And the invasion paid for itself, jes’ like they said. -And remember all those ‘alleys’, the coalition of the willing. You know, the ones who sent hordes and hordes of troops.

Obama left Iraq at Iraq’s insistence upon the exit treaty signed by George W Bush. Let us not forget exactly why the US left.

Problem: The US invaded in the first place.

Don’t forget to include Obama. Bush et al destroyed Iraq and allowed the proto-ISIS, then Al Qaeda in Iraq, entry into the country (Saddam had crushed all terrorist activity ruthlessly, just as Gaddafi had). Then, Obama began supporting the cannibal headhunters, oops, moderate Syrian rebels, who were totally not jihadis (except, of course, that they were) who joined Al Qaeda in droves. When Al Qaeda split, the more dynamic faction, now ISIS, of course got the vast bulk of the members. And to this day Obama is openly arming and training the terrorist scum in Syria, who then promptly join ISIS en masse.

Jusat how stupid can you get, Harley?The agreement to leave Iraq was made between George W. Bush and al.Maliki, not Obama.Obama tried to negotiate with the Iraq leadership to keep combat troops in the county but the Iraqis said “no.”This has been told to you over and over and over again but you don’t seem able to muster up enough brain cells to understand plain English.’

@michaelwme Thanks for the link.

Check your history. ISIS has been around since 1999 and took that name in October 2006. So, yes, they were around the GWB years.

GHW should be there as well, for telling Saddam to go ahead and tke Kuwait in that “Arab on Arab thing”, then moving on to Jr getting even for Saddam puting a hit out on GHW after he, and the Shia as well, were betrayed, then when they DID come to power under “W”, he was dumb enoough to run all the Ba’athists and the whole bloody army, including especially the Sunnis and Saddam supporters, who then crossed the border to form ISIL.

So, yes, the history DOES PROVE; it WAS BUSH, BOTH OF THEM, both listening to the Dick and the Rummy.

Spot on. If the lying W and his evil hench-pigs hadn’t invaded Iraq, the Iraqis would be far bette off (so would we).Obama (as usual) is left the job of picking up the pieces.

TOO TRUE!

That is possibly the most historically correct cartoon is some time.

tom: just like they got bin Laden, right?

Are you drunk? Or just stupid?
