OBAMA made it worse.

How so. The damage was already done when we took out Hussein.

The illegal, immoral, and strategically suicidal invasion and occupation of Iraq made it worse.

Some of us saw this sort of scenario coming in 2002.

You've got to love this new meme by Conservatives that Bush liberated Iraq and everything was going just swell there until Obama came along and derailed that great American victory.

And the most ridiculous part is that you get the feeling some of them actually believe it. Like the poster you're responding to.

America may have to accept the idea that we can have little, if any, impact or effect on the "outcome" of any particular struggle for power in any particular Middle Eastern country.

Quite frankly, instead of arguing about waterboarding, just stop messing with ME already.

Seriously...let's go back to Bush policy...with massive numbers of Iraqis being killed AND Americans being killed to boot...the good old days.

That's all that mattered.
We still don't know who are the real terrorist, Saddam Hussein was a tyran but has never been a terrorist.
In Iraq we never killed terrorists, we killed innocent civilians & we invited terrorists from all over the world to come to Iraq to fight us.
Terrorists hated Saddam Hussein & his regime,in Iraq,we got it all wrong.

I'm far from an Obama apologist, but I don't think this girl's blood is on his hands. Bush was the one who originally invaded Iraq. People eventually got sick of the war and it's astronomical costs and pushed for the troops to be removed. Obama pulled the forces out and the place turned into a sh*tshow, which was bound to happen whether we stayed in another five, ten or twenty years. These people are barbaric, you can't argue with crazy.

They should have just left Hussein where he was.
