Well, Iraq's Sunni government was toppled by Bush's Folly - ironically, what with that being completely in Iran's interest.
Well, as an anti war 21 year military veteran that actually spent significant time in that part of the world in uniform, some on behalf of Kuwait (and Saudi Arabia) under a Bush admin, I dont trust any middle eastern government to do anything in America's interest when America is using the carrot as enticement.
Biden is an idiot, just like Obama-Fact.
Yes, we all know the stick didnt work, Bush-Clinton-Bush.

I was there, protecting those sea lanes on different ships supporting Earnest Will missions. What is Earnest Will you ask?
America, protecting the worlds interest (not just Saudi Arabia) and those very sea lanes you mention against Iranian hyper aggressiveness that transcended commonly held international law. I have zero love for the Saudi govt, then and now, but I do respect historical facts and the truth.
It's the same Iran that Biden wants to bend over for now, just like Obama.
America needed energy independence then (the reason we were there!). We mostly have it now, but it is tough when drooling idiot puppets shut down entire energy pipelines over leftarded rhetoric. What are the gas prices like now where you live in L.A., compared to 5 months ago?
are we still over there? Obama/Biden promised in 2008, he'd get us out.......what happened?
