Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
Obama says we are safe from terror. He also said we could keep our doctors; that ObamaCare was not a tax; that ISIS was JV; That Iraq was strong and stable and . . . . . . . .
Since 2001, the State Department has revoked 9,500 visas because of suspected ties to outside terrorist organizations . . . . . . and no one in this Administration knows where they are.
Question... Joe Scarborough: "Was the Middle East more stable with Saddam, Gadahffi in power and Assad not fighting for his life?" Ted Cruz: "Of course it was... it's not even a close call."
GWB failed America and even conservatives are beginning to recognize it.
Before GWB's 2003 invasion, there were ZERO suicide attacks in Iraq. After the invasion, 1892, The Iraq and Afghan wars will cost Trillions, estimated to be $75,000 for every US household. And what do we have to show? The rise of ISIS. The legacy of GWB and the neocons.
With the above comment, the reader has an example of a typical, mindless, Bush hating rant. Understand that part of the Democrat strategy is to lie in the advance of the common good. Republications just lie, Democrats and their supports, plan their lies, persist in their lies, and, sadly win with their lies. Example: what the Dems and Obama did with ObamaCare. We all now know that every major point made to advance ObamaCare was a deliberate lie. I mean, we have congressional admissions on this point.
The above is no different. For starters, nearly all Congressional democrats vote for the Iraqi War, period. Secondly, when Bush left Afghanistan, before invading Iraq, there were only 80 Taliban remaining. The Afghan war of today, is Obama's war and Obama's is the one who made that point, years ago. He lost that war. 1500 soldiers died to accomplish absolutely nothing.
Third, Bush won the Iraqi war.
Fourth: ISIS is the creation, in part, of Obama. Bush had nothing to do with the creation of ISIS. Obama ran guns into Syria which were confiscated by the infant ISIS army. He sat around for 5 freaking years and watched while the JV team ran around Northern Iraq and parts of Syria, killing at a horrendous rate. In fact, Obama ordered the military to stand down in the face of an advancing ISIS army and the criminal antics of Assad.
The cost? You can't wage war without cost. Both Bush wars, Afghanistan and Iraq, were victories. Obama's Afghan war was a pathetic display of criminal negligence and Iraq is the result of criminal leadership on many levels . . . . . and that crime continues with a know-nothing Obamas who believes you can win a war without collateral damage. Of course, regarding his drone war, he has killed 10 civilians for every Taliban leader he has killed. So much for his brand of "principles."
No suicide bombings before Iraq? Here is Wiki list of suicide bombings that you might find interesting. The Wiki articles is titled "List of Palestinian suicide attacks"
Let's not forget the deaths caused by the suicide bombers on 9/11 . . . . a total of more than 14,000 people died on that counting the 11,000 individuals whose DNA have never been identified.
1) I said "zero suicide bombings in Iraq before the GWB invasion" Smithson offers a redherriing.
2) There would be no ISIS if there was no Iraq war. Bush did not 'win the Iraq war' any more than the soviets 'won' in Afghanistan. Bush had a very poor understanding of Iraq before he launched an unnecessary war. For example... conservatives don't seem to have a clue that if it weren't for our sworn enemy - the Hezbollah (Shia) of Iran fighting the ISIS (Sunni), Syria would be owned by ISIS. But to GW Bush, "I thought they were Muslims?" This conflict is a thousand yrs old.
3) watch the video - it is brief https://youtu.be/r1gVh_k2fJs
Kind of silly. No bombing in Iraq before the invasion? Hey, there are no suicide bombings in Germany and Germany has invaded no one. None in Sweden, or Canada or Venezuela. I could go on. No suicide bombings before we took the war to them ?? OF COURSE NOT. Geeese.
