I think we need to put the safe return of our troops at the head of the list of things to worry about.
After the Iraqi Parliament took their month's vacation while American men & women continued to be in harm's way 24/7 I was convinced there's little hope for long term solution there. If they value vacation more than getting their country in order, screw 'em, let them fend for themselves.

sounds good, only these people are currently in control of the country, and unless we give the country back to the people like the forefather intended, we are just gonna have to suck it up and take it
And Haliburton moved its headquarters to United Arab Emierates I believe so I think they are exempt from any financialy responsibility, must be awesome for them
Anyone who looks at the issue knows that with the slim, slim majority the Dems have in congress, means that they can't do much until they a) get a higher majority, b) get a Dem in the Whitehouse, or.... both.
The checks do not AUTOMATICALLY get written without the Democrats writing the bills that authorize payments.. Tell me people dont think that things automatically get paid unless they are stopped.. Gees..
The fact that if there is not a Dem in the Whitehouse, or a higher majority only means that the Democrats can not write a check out for anything they want.. Similar to when Clinton was in charge and worked with the Republicans, the funding on the military stopped in addition to other conservative programs, they did not increase simply because there was opposing parties in office.
Our government and its finances usually works best with opposing parties in charge. Look at when the Democrats had a blank check, governmental programs went up. Republicans had everything, military spending went up.
There is no checks and balance unless there is opposing parties who compromise and when slim margins exist, federal expenses usually go down, not up as we see today.
Um does "regime change" mean "fly our troops into Iraq with guns, bombs and tanks". It seems to me, if that was Clinton's intent, he would have done so. But he didn't. So don't parse and twist history to suit your argument.
Regime change can mean anything. It doesn't necessarily mean deploying your troops.
Twist what I stated to make it seem that I stated Bill Clinton authorized war (we all know Hillary did) because that isnt what I said.
As for changing the US policy to outing a foreign country government, you seem to trivialize this as if Clinton was sitting at a desk one day and was bored, and simply went.. mmm, what government can I spent $100Million to help overthrow?
How much of that $100 Million went into weapons that then ended up being used against us? We all know we give weapons to governments for the purpose of assisting our allies, and numerous times those weapons have been used against us.. Thats just a trival fact though, yeah.. lets forget all about that..
