Thanks Tom, I love your suggestion that he use his attack on his very own draft dodger. And frankly nothing done in Iraq is worth bragging about. It was an illegal war (under the Vienna code) in the first place - Iraq was a sovereign nation that did NOTHING to provoke us. No matter how many denials we hear, we went there for the OIL. Instead we stood by while ancient museums were robbed of their 3500 year old artifacts. Iraq was destroyed for no valid reason and we lost a few thousand troops who died for NOTHING. You'd think we would have learned our lesson after Vietnam.

We would have, if a pair of Vietnam draft dodgers hadn't been Pres and VP.

Sadly, both of them along with 45 may be eligible for burial among the truly honorable souls in Arlington. Every time I think of that I want to gnash my teeth until I start a forest fire.

Iraq was also a patched-together "nation" that was being held together by Saddam Hussein. Not pretty, but it more or less worked -- and kept Iran occupied at the same time. "Regime change" blew the whole thing apart. Here's hoping the "experts" have finally figured out that "democracy" can't be imposed from without -- it's hard enough to maintain here at home. Although, true, we did figure out that "democracy" is code for "making it safe for U.S. investment."

Glad you mention that Saddam kept Iran occupied. Now the pooch is screwed.

Obama tried to fix it, and then the Destroyer did what he does best.

He did indeed. We can’t keep up with all the ways they have made our lives worse than they were. And MSM doesn’t even try…
