Right. He started blustering, NK took all the seals off and restarted their reactor and built and tested 2 nuclear bombs with the plutonium that was under seal. In response he did, nothing. Well, ok. He had an agreement brokered that was almost identical to the one you label as doing 'massive damage'. I think 'failed' pretty much understates the situation. Given that nothing was done but return the situation to what it was before he started to shoot his mouth off, with the added ingredient that NK has built and tested nuclear weapons, well... There should have never been an AF to begin with. THAT was the problem. Not Bush. I have noticed with amusement how the Iraq War was sort of a Swiss Army knife. When it failed to do the things it was supposed to do, all of these other 'reasons' seemed to have crawled out of the woodwork. This is the latest. The influence of the Iraq War on Iran and other ME countries was ALWAYS the major point of the war. The WMD issue was the issue Bush zeroed in on because it was a "slam dunk". Yes, it turned out to be a mistake but that has nothing to do with the rationale for the war. >> What did we do with respect to Iran over the past 8 years? Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch We did the most important thing which was to free Iraq. Unfortunately, we got a new president who doesn't quite know how to proceed. But hopefully, with some OTJ training, he'll eventually get it.
