Who is "you guys"
1. You lie to get this country into the worst war in our history.
"Lie" hasn't been established,
If not a lie, it was clear exaggeration on several counts. A responsible, competent president does not start a war on exaggeration.
and if it was a lie, it didn't have anything to do with me.
Of course it had something to do with you.......you voted for him not once but twice. And this did not happen by chance.......the right has been on the wrong track for quite some time. Instead of admitting your mistakes and correcting them, you put the blame somewhere else, allowing you all to remain in denial. For those of us not in denial, its infuriating.
As for worst war in our history that's fairly ridiculous.
Its not one of our better ones that's for damn sure.
2/3 - Bad policy perhaps, mismanagement, yes, but you exaggerate both.
"The entire fuking world will collapse if we leave Iraq." is also an exaggeration of what Hanson wrote.
There were many people who were opposed to invading Iraq. The very thing that is happening now is what was predicted back then. To tell us now that with all the negative predictions coming true, we have no choice but to stay because it will only get worse borders on the insane. No people, with the notable exception of the right [see up above], would persist in going down the wrong track even as the evidence shows that its a huge mistake.
There is no good solution to the catastrophe that is Iraq. A fire has been lit and it will burn until it burns itself out. However, there is a better solution for the US and that is to withdraw and watch the fire from afar. |
