    What solution?

    Please, tell me you are about to try and blame Obama. Pretty please.

    The whole thing was a huge boondoggle with zero exit strategy. Chalk it up to history and pray it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass in the next 20 years.

    They are Democrats; thus they can do no wrong. Get with the program.

    Comedy gold. For those of us outside the left/right paradigm, we thank you. Cognitive dissonance rarely disappoints.
     
  5. Who cares what the Clintons thought? Iraq was a disaster, led by W. That fact that that's a defense for W is pathetic.

    Who was in charge of the White House? Who was setting the tone and agenda of intelligence gathering?

    I get it, you have to see this as political. It isn't. The politics are irrelevant at this point, but the failure of our intelligence system and government shouldn't be ignored.

    I'm so glad you disagree with me. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy because you're in the batshit crazy paradigm.

    Has nothing to do with that. I'll criticize anyone if it's deserved.

    umm the exit solution. i.e. just leaving and saying "good luck!" and yes that's on obama. the fact he didn't create the problem doesn't mean he shouldn't clean up the mess properly.

    It's one thing to argue it's a major f up by bush, it's quite another to argue he knew there were no WMD and went in to revenge daddy.

    I get all fired up when someone questions my ability to toe the Rachel Maddow propoganda line. Sorry.

    I lay the blame for Iraq squarely at the feet of W and Cheney.

    I also don't have a problem saying that the Clintons can be wrong sometimes.

    i find it rather hilarious you argue this isn't political, but then post "evidence" by two left wing organizations.

    Amazing that we managed to find zero WMDs. I know, he just got bad advice.

    Other than we found nothing Chaney's doctored intel said we would?

    or hussein wanted people to think he had WMD because he thought if they didn't think it he'd be invaded immediately. nah that can't be the reason.

    So, Chaney and Bush got duped by a crazy person. So, they're either treasonists or imbeciles. I can accept either answer.
