Hogwash!!!

Announcing a REDLINE troop withdrawal date WITHOUT CONSULTING OUR NATION'S MILITARY LEADERSHIP, is the single greatest act of national defense incompetence ever by a sitting President.

Petraeus learned of the decision by a press liason.

And the press ejaculated praise for their Messiah.

Obama SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED FOR SEDITION!
Not as bad as sending Colin Powell to the UN with pictures of a water truck. We went to war over a lie. That's not incompetent, it's criminal.

I'm guessing hundreds of years from now Iraq will be a blurb in history books...the red line not so much. Unless Texas continues to influence our text books.

Yeah, those WMDs that went from Iraq into Syria and were used by Bashar al-Assad's regime that killed an estimated 1300 Syrian's were just imaginary...
:dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

And even if there hadn't been WMDs (there were) believing something is true which turns out not to be true doesn't make it a lie.. :roll:

And FWIW in hindsight I don't think the US should have gone into Iraq in 2003..

I can honestly say that I never thought invading Iraq was a good move. I try not to second guess, but unlike many Dems, I was against the Iraq war before I was against it.

I agree. I've said several times that of the "evil empire" of Iran, Iraq, and NoKo we picked on the littlest sister. I hoped we'd be reaping oil from them and Kuwait by now, but it's the NYC oil speculators that are probably holding prices where they are. :ohno:

A quick YouTube search will give you hours of video of Dems preaching Saddam had WMDs and he must be stopped.

Hussein's Iraq was a training center and sanctuary for terrorist. He maintained a stockpile of chemical weapons and hid other weapons from UN inspectors inviolation of the 1992 accord.

All of which is irrelevant to this thread.

Unless, of course, prior presidential conduct is germane to Obama's incompetence, in which case we should be discussing William Clinton; the rapist, war criminal, perjuring, embezzler.

You got a credible link to support the bullshit you just posted? It was known that Saddam used chemical weapons on his own people before the first Gulf war. He didn't use them on us in either war. The UN never found WMDs after that and even the Bush admin admitted that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. There was no legit reason to invade.

Great! Since you didn't respond to my question, then apparently the conduct of prior presidents appears to be of concern.

Where would you like to start? Clinton's abuse of power to rape women?
Clinton's perjuring? Hey, how about war crimes? Let's start there...
