You're just mad because you had not only hoped we would change/fix Iraq, but that it would fundamentally change the middle east.

You're also smarting because no WMD were ever found, and no connection to Al Qaeda could ever be established. You're angry that you got duped and fell for the whole shebang.

Obama screwed up Iraq? No buddy...it was ALWAYS screwed up.


Demolish Iraq for what? What did Iraq do to us to deserve destroying?
I agree.
On the other hand though, Obama wanted to stay in Iraq past the Bush agreement to leave.
Thankfully Iraq said no dice and kicked us out.

It's my favorite failure of the Obama administration. Lol

Now I wish that Japan, Germany (and the rest of the EU), and South Korea would ask us to leave.

Obama wanted to leave 3000 military in Iraq. Iraq told Obama that military would be tried in an Iraq court, under Iraq law, for any crimes they commit. Obama was probably advised that it would be a bad political move if he agreed.

And once again, Obama wants to leave troops behind after the withdrawal from Afghanistan. And this is the same agreement that Karzai wants to make and have the US sign off on if Obama wants to leave troops indefinitely in Afghanistan. Karzai met with about 150 tribe leaders who told Karzai not to make that demand and sign off on the agreement that the US prepared. Karzai had a deadline (which has since passed) to sign off on the US agreement that excluded that condition (with the tribe leaders agreeing to the US terms) and was agreed to with the tribe leaders but Karzai refused. Karzai said he will wait until the elections in April (he's supposed to step down).

I wonder if Afghanistan will go the same route as Egypt in that an Islamic extremist/terrorist leader gets voted in under a "democratic" process, where will Obama stand. He defended and supported Morsi, which in no time was transforming Egypt throwing out the Constitution and writing his own, putting fear in people, taking away freedoms, and sending the country back to another century as well as persecuting Christians.

I hope that Obama thinks that Iraqi wouldn't be in this turmoil had we left troops behind. Those troops would all be dead by now and the country would still be where it is today and thinking that leaving troops in Afghanistan will make a difference, he's delusional.

I don't blame Presidente Hussein.........the USAtard went in both Trashcanistan and Eye-wreck with a very unrealistic idea of what they were going to be able to accomplish.......WE'LL MAKE THESE 9TH WORLD PEOPLE JUST LIKE GREAT MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRCANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We should have invaded Trashcanistan and Eye-wreck using a very, very narrowly defined mission and a short time period to carry-out said mission.
