Did not everyone with an R next to their name support the war? Were the architects of this abysmal failure not Republicans?
That is correct. They invented the reasons for it, they sold it to the American people, and they ordered its commencement. They own it, lock, stock and barrel.

Commander-in-chief = Bush gets most of the blame. It was his war. Saying Biden is equally at fault is bad comedy.
Apparently the Republicans know the Iraq war was such a bad mistake, that they are now trying to blame the democrats. You don't hear of any Republicans stepping up and taking credit for what was accomplished there. They are defecting blame and hiding!
Was there not a warning sounded over and over again when Obama decreed that we'd totally pull out of Iraq?
Wasn't the warning "if you pull out like you're suggesting we'll have to come back again to fight the same thing in a few years"?
I seem to remember those warnings from some generals and others. Who'd of guessed they'd be correct?
I don't recall, but if someone said it, they were (and are) wrong because we don't ever HAVE TO go back in there again. Only an idiot would stay there forever policing a country we have nothing to do with.
"When you were a candidate, I called you a corporation running for the Presidency masquerading as a human being. In time you turned a metaphor into a reality. As a corporation, you express no remorse, no shame, no compassion and a resistance to admit anything other than that you have done nothing wrong."- Ralph
Far less educated and powerful people in this country saw this coming when mighty O did the victory dance. Can you honestly sit there and blame Bush for this after SIX f'ing years?! Obamabots never cease to amaze me. No matter how abyssmaly Obama fails, in anything, it's Bush's doing. Good grief!! The waaaaa boo hoo factor here is astounding.
Obama did not unstabilize Iraq. How many more of our troops do you want killed and injured to continue babysitting that country?
We have been there for over 11 years, spent trillions on that useless war, and lost over 4500 lives?
