That has to be one of the biggest strategic blunders in us history and that's really saying something. Invading Iraq because (mostly) Saudis carried out 9/11. That's neocon genius at work I guess. We're still sending our sons to die in Afghanistan and we should've been out of there by 2003 at the latest. Turned what should have been a simple punitive expedition into a 15 year multi-trillion dollar clusterfuck with no end in sight. During that time over 2 million people, from countries deemed so dangerous that we must bomb and make war on them, have been allowed to enter the US and establish residence here. Good thing we're fighting them over there? Uh...yeah. hmm. :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-58792676759195183022016-06-08T20:29:59.808-05:002016-06-08T20:29:59.808-05:00We wouldn't be talking about this if our brill...We wouldn't be talking about this if our brilliant National Command Authority had listened to the US Military and left 10,000 to 30,000 troops in Iraq. How many thousands of Iraqis dead, wounded, raped, and displaced because one idiot knew better? Christians driven from their homes of 2000 years, Yazidis raped, murdered and enslaved. <br /><br />Then again, they are also responsible for the conversion of Relatively Peaceful Libya into Mogadishu on the Mediterranean. Which destabilized Mali too. But they can always point to their successes in Yemen too.

Then they got some new leaders and they started acting like an army. Seems like the guys we (the USA) supported did not inspire any confidence in the troops. Some kind of religious bullshit I suppose, or maybe the troops just had better bullshit detectors than the US State Department.Chuck Pergielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473338620167201696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-72490071769157346602016-06-08T16:06:00.976-05:002016-06-08T16:06:00.976-05:00Living in a field of rubble.Kinda like Detroit.Living in a field of rubble.Kinda like Detroit.michigan doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130170354196505359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-68524781097326771912016-06-08T14:23:05.413-05:002016-06-08T14:23:05.413-05:00Well, at least ONE tank is a good shot...Well, at least ONE tank is a good shot...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-82097529664983989452016-06-08T14:03:56.573-05:002016-06-08T14:03:56.573-05:00Yes I know the Abrams is a great tank but can the ...Yes I know the Abrams is a great tank but can the Iraqis maintain them?
