The Republicans Lost Iraq!

Going into a war under false pretense is bad, but going into a war with no plans should be treason.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan to secure Iraqi weapons depots, instead they by-passed them in the rush to shock and awe Baghdad.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan to secure or restore infrastructure, instead after 3-years Iraq still has no consistent electricity, limited potable water and waste disposal.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan to provide security after the war, instead the disbanded all of the Iraqi military, police and other security organizations.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan by which the Shiite, Sunni and Kruds would be brought together in some form of governing body, instead after two-years we are still hovering around the brink of a civil war.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan for withdrawl from Iraq, instead we are told to stay the course while enduring a steady number of causalities and wounds.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan for implementing an intelligence operation, instead after 3-years we are still in the dark as to who we are fighting and their strength.

Bush and the Republicans had no plan to pay for the war, instead they enacted tax cuts and have borrowed billions to prosecute the war.

These are just a minor listing of how Bush and the Republicans lost Iraq. We, America, can now look forward to a country closely aligned with Iran. Make you feel more secure?

5. "The American people expect me to do my job, and I’m going to."
I can't listen to all this, y'know, background chatter, and spec-u-la-shun, and uh, opining.

What a f*cking tool. :puke:

8. Two more reasons to be added to the list......
Bush and the Republicans did not have a plan to provide enough troops; instead we went in with a force so small that we could not hold the territory that our troops died for and are now required to secure the same areas over and over.

Bush and the Republicans did not have a plan to prosecute to war financially, instead we sent in troops without sufficient equipment and sustained casualties because Bush and the Republicans tried to fight the war on the cheap.
