Anyway, too bad for the guy. But ISIS has killed lots of people. Don't wanna get killed? Don't be there.

Take MY word ..... and Obama's word.
The PROMISE/RED LINE was ...... No Boots on the Ground. Anyone who says there are dead soldiers is a LIAR. Nobody is dead, because they were never there. No Boots On the Ground.

a double down guaranteed PROMISE

I am against going back to that black hole of the middle east.

These words are from Tomas Young, one of the first US Army veterans to come out against the war on Iraq. Tomas was paralyzed by a bullet in Sadr City in 2004, and came home from war an antiwar activist struggling with serious medical conditions for the rest of his life. He died a year and a half ago. But first, he wrote this open letter to Bush and Cheney.

“My day of reckoning is upon me. Yours will come. I hope you will be put on trial. But mostly I hope, for your sakes, that you find the moral courage to face what you have done to me and to many, many others who deserved to live. I hope that before your time on earth ends, as mine is now ending, you will find the strength of character to stand before the American public and the world, and in particular the Iraqi people, and beg for forgiveness.”

You obviously haven't read any of my previous posts. One can't take one post and make any sort of conclusions. Read the rest of the thread and try again if you wish.

I saw your little posts. No need to try again. Your lack of an answer just supports the point of my question.

I never said what we should do. But I do have a moral compass. Leaving a power vacuum in place of a once functional, sovereign nation will do no good for anyone, except the people who hate us and our allies in the region.

This is why someone needs to be accountable for this entire disaster. But that would just lead to finger pointing and such.

If you saw my posts you know your answer was nothing but an off the cuff failure of a reply.

Obama has been an absolute failure here (as I point out in my previous posts) but why do you feel a need to defend Bush's failures?
