LOL. Iraq a stable democracy in 20 years. Good one. And I suppose if Hillary's national health care plan had been a success in 10 years you'd have been 100% behind it. Bush-Cheney's Iraq policy can, at best, be snatching partial dignity from the jaws of total disaster. Bush-Cheney went in there the wrong way and prepared about as well as FEMA in New Orleans. Years later will it recover? Maybe. But creating a huge new terrorist battlezone was not the intention, just the result. The real cost of 3000+ US dead and 25,000 US wounded plus about 400 billion will be the final tally. Was it worth it? Well yes, for Halliburton and Exxon it was. You realize this is all about Texas oil companies getting some huge new oilfields plus Halliburton and their ilk getting record profits. You do realize that, don't you? And BP gets a cut too for the UK's contribution. Reason Bush-Cheney didn't want allies was so as not to share the oil proceeds. F the French and Elf Aquitaine. And the phony disarmament of Libya nets yet another huge oil deal. Exxon is running US policy now. But the US public gets gypped most of all. How much in taxes have Bush's oil buddies been paying? Very low rates I'll bet. They mainly take, give little back.
