Thanks for the thread melman.

I don't care why or how we get the fuck out.

I would even give Trump credit if that's what it takes.

Acting President Dick Cheney said that the Iraq hostilities would be, and I quote, “a matter of months, not years.”
It turned out not to be a matter of years, but a matter of decades.

That was rather quick. But then we decided to nation build and turn Iraq into the U.S. Iraq does not want to be the U.S. So we remain with no president, so far, willing to take the blame of "losing" Iraq. The same applies to Afghanistan.

It has no need of Iraqi oil. The Iraqi government takes all oil revenue. So whatever the reason is oil is not it.

Canda has more oil than all of middle-east combined.

In 1998 Sanders voted in favor of the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, which said: ''It should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime.''

Later that same year, Sanders also backed a resolution that stated: ''Congress reaffirms that it should be the policy of the United States to support efforts to remove the regime headed by Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq and to promote the emergence of a democratic government to replace that regime''


Sanders also voted for the 2001 Authorization Unilateral Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF), which pretty much allowed Bush to wage war wherever he wanted.

when it was politically expedient.

Now they think they can bludgeon Biden with the Iraq war as though he was the only one solely responsible for it.
