re: Member when The Left wanted Obama to investigate Bush

However, what the DNC wanted to investigate him for was chicken shiite bs.

What Bush did falls before a "reasonable man" standard. A resonable man would have taken the position that Iraq was "invasion proof" by American forces because a stable Iraq was in the best interests of the United States.

Even Dick Cheney knew that:

Iraq was also a bulwark against Saudi Arabia - one that WE removed on behalf of Israel - but one that would have always given the worthless arse Saudis pause. Now Saudi Arabia is unrestrained in its efforts to cause us ill.

The big takeaway here is that our government will work against our best interests and send our young people to die for Wall Street profits. Hillary Couldn't WAIT to crank up the largest war possible just for the purpose of serving the Military/Congressional Industrial Complex.

How should it work over there? What is our best policy? Using history as our guide always, we can look at the Brits going back to the Golden Age under Elizabeth.

Spain ascendant? Support the Dutch. France Ascendant? Support the Spanish. Russia a problem? Ally with France and support Turkey. Germany ascendant? Support France. Germans at your throat again? Support France again. Unceremoniously ejected from the continent? Enlist the United States.

That policy works. It worked for the Brits for 300 years. We are doing exactly the opposite in our policy. The ally we need in that region is IRAN. We pretty much shanghaied them into being our ally in the 1950's. After their revolution we should have enlisted them as such again. The Irans have a large population they have a long and proud history and they are NOT Arab. They hate the Arabs. THEY could act as a foil to Saudi Arabia.

Supporting the second strongest power in a region against the strongest is a proven policy.

We don't pursue that policy because the Jews don't like it.
