With conditions deteriorating in Iraqbecause of the actions of Iraqi President Maliki and the Iraqi government and the Iraqi military and the Iraqi insurgents and the Iraqi religious factionsRepublican Sen. John "Wannabe President" McCain, thwarted in his dream to have U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years, is making the media rounds to blame it all on President Obama.The president wanted out and now we are paying a heavy price, the Arizona Republican said on MSNBC.
"We had it won," McCain said. The U.S. "had the conflict won thanks to the surge We had a stable government."
The only people stupid enough to think we ever had this war "won" were the same ones who predicted we'd "absolutely" be greeted as liberators, who thought the war would be paid for by Iraqi oil, who thought the Sunnis and Shia would "get along," who declared the war would "be brief," and that of course Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Oh, wait, what was that Sen. McCain?

Iraq had a 'stable government' with sadam, hateful as he was, but cheney + halliburton + rumsfeld had to persuade what's his name that there were some kind of weapons there, so the world has been DESTABILIZED EVER SINCE THOSE IDIOTS took 'control.'
OK, I'm shouting, gotta take a walk.
