After almost 9yrs the USA has finally officially left Iraq. The Iraq that had nothing to do with 9/11. The Iraq that had no weapons of mass destruction.
George W. Bush was a blunderer as well as a decider. Iraq was his greatest blunder.
What’s next?
… The Republicans that started the War — Neo-cons like Dick Cheney, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton and former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice — as well as the major Republican Presidential candidates — have all spoken out against the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. They have made clear that they would never have signed the Status of Forces Agreement with the Iraqi government that set up a time-table for withdrawal, had they not intended to change it.
Obama’s Republican opponent, John McCain, has been particularly outspoken in his opposition. McCain, after all, once said that he had no objection to American troops remaining in Iraq for a hundred years. …
Republicans and FOX News will certain jump on the clear and present danger of Iran — filling the power vacuum.
Really?
The stars designate American military bases.
Iraq was a huge waste of time, resources and energy. History will confirm.
Will the USA ever be able to repay the $.8 to $3 trillion they spent on the war?
I doubt it.
