These are the same people who started all the "we won neener neener" threads in 2012.




Why are you talking about Bush... again?

If Clinton SNAFU's, will she be able to blame GWB as well? Will Dem's be blaming Bush for their failures indefinitely?

When will the GWB whipping boy die? Frankly, Dem's should just burn an effigy of the dude and call it done!
so you want to play "Selective Amnesia", as in Oh' let's forget. Let's sweep it under the rug. (be my guest, history has documented much and continues to do so.)
We are still trying to unwind the messes that Bush left upon this nation at a clip of 17 Trillion and still counting, along with a fully destabilized Middle East, and you want to pretend it ain't so. Gee wiz!!!! I guess you ignored the fact Bush Administration itself said it would be more than 10 yrs before American could balance a budget. Now how is that not relevant, for the today, and into the future.

President Bush also advised this administration to not pull out of Iraq so quickly. Now look we are starting from square one and our military generals and others have been fired. This administration has in their own denying way has admitted ISIS is winning. President Bush never had to claim the enemy had the upper hand.

Care to explain the extra spending to groups like rebels and training ISIS soldiers?

The beauty of our system is that those eligible to vote and choose not to go to the polls still have their votes count. If it wasn't for the stay at home voters votes we would all be in a differnt place.

Theoretically the informed were intended to outnumber the uninformed to mitigate any bizarre outcome.

Are you for real or you just typing stuff for the sake to contend.

The withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Iraq was a contentious issue in the United States for much of the 2000s. As the war progressed from its initial invasion phase in 2003 to a nearly decade-long occupation, American public opinion shifted towards favoring a troop withdrawal; in May 2007, 55% of Americans believed that the Iraq War was a mistake, and 51% of registered voters favored troop withdrawal. In late April 2007 Congress passed a supplementary spending bill for Iraq that set a deadline for troop withdrawal but President Bush vetoed this bill, citing his concerns about setting a withdrawal deadline. The Bush Administration later sought an agreement with the Iraqi government, and in 2008 George W. Bush signed the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement. It included a deadline of 31 December 2011, before which "all the United States Forces shall withdraw from all Iraqi territory" The last U.S. troops left Iraq on 18 December 2011, in accordance with this agreement.
there are multiple reference to this, but for the sake of expediency, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Withdra...oops_from_Iraq

President Obama reaffirmed commitment to the original complete withdraw date of 31 December 2011, set by the agreement between the Bush Administration and the Iraqi government
Any monies spent were AUTHORIZED BY CONGRESSIONAL BACKING, so what possible extra spending could you have dreamed up, if it had been left to the Republican's we'd have been at War in Syria and We'd have had troops on the ground in Egypt if anyone had listened to John McCain and the Republican War Machine Group, Heck if we listened to McCain, we'd have sent troops to Ukraine as well.

...... Get real, you are spewing Limbaugh and Fox talking points to inflame with the talk about funding ISIS.... geez. ISIS was a faction of Al-Qaeda, who broke away when Al-Qaeda considered the makeup of ISIS too radical even for the wilder side of Al-Qaeda standards.
