He forgot Colin Powell's Pottery Barn analogy - you break it, you own it.

I feel like we learned absolutely nothing from the 20th Century, and here we are 100 years from the beginning of World War I and it seems like we're about to enter into another generation of war. I so hope that's not the case, as I have an adolescent son. Things are not looking good, and we've had two back-to-back bad leaders that brought us to this place. Maybe if John McCain would have followed Bush, he would have made sure Iraq didn't get chaotic. I wasn't his biggest fan, but in light of what is happening now I think he may have been the better choice.
Why should we care about some church in Iraq?

Thank goodness that we didn't get a SOFA agreement. Abandoning Iraq was just what the doctor ordered.

There is no such thing as a religion of peace and I don't support any religion...ESPECIALLY Islam.

At what point are we justified in turning the Middle East into a glass parking lot?

As a two time Obama voter, your opinion is essentially worthless.
