Yes, and your war in Iraq cost $800B and counting. Wow! That was a great investment. Moron.

Yes it was. Had Al Qaida managed to gain control over Iraq and commence destabilization of the entire Persian Gulf, the price of oil would be FAR HIGHER.

But the best investment was that we met the Islamo-Fascists on their home turf and defeated them. That, and their oppression and terror committed against other muslims, has humiliated the movement in the region.

Nice to know Obama's not going to precipitiously withdraw in 16 mos as promised and plans to keep troops in Iraq throughout his first term.
