Iraq--A Reminder
In all the hoopla about Bergdahl, Bengazi, etc., we should remind people about the disastrous episode of our involvement in Iraq.
We surely did Iraq a big favor, didn't we?

What a mess we facilitated!
Not to mention our own loss of blood and treasure.
I don't forget which politicians thought that invading Iraq was a good idea. Greeting us with flowers, right?
