The vast majority of Americans had never heard of Saddam Hussein. But please carry on the mindless drivel; nation-building and all that.

Damn we're a noble society, huh? And we're the only society smart enough to recognize that murdering men, women and children will result in....wait for it......NATION BUILDING!!!!

Are you fricking high? Everyone with a pulse had known who Saddam Hussein was for over a decade prior to the invasion? And you call people dumb

The vast majority of Americans couldn't tell you who the current Vice-President is.
But you go ahead and believe they gave a frick about (much less even heard of) some guy halfway around the world.

So while Texas keeps playing with his Reynolds Wrap, here is a hypothetical.


Baghdad falls = U.S. ground soliders back into Iraq within six months ?

You're obviously much more of an optimist, than I.

I think we'll be providing air support within a matter of a few days.

There's also the issue of the ISIS actually taking Baghdad. It's an entirely different beast than any of these cities they've taken so far. They'll be stepping away from the home field for the first time since they started this operation.

I posted this fact in another post, but I'll post it here again: there are about as many people in Sadr City alone (which is about 98% Shi'a) in Baghdad as there are an all of Mosul, by far the largest city taken so far.

Because when something is done, and it goes to shite, someone is responsible.
Social Security and Medicare went to shite and have caused enormous deficits and national debt. Why are FDR and LBJ not given responsibility for our deficits and national debt, or was I mistaken when Obama tried to blame Bush for our deficits and national debt? At some point if you don't solve a problem created by others you become responsible for it. When does Obama become responsible for problems, caused by others, he did not solve, and may have exacerbated?

What's going on with American personnel that are still in country. I know there are still a shitton of American contractors helping out with their Air Force and ISR functions.

Idiot.

There was never a single fricking reason to lose a single American life in that shite hole.

W wanted to play Commander-in-Chief because there weren't enough Taliban to kill so into Iraq we went.

W lied to the American people, lied to congress, and some 4000 American soldiers paid for his lies.

W now gets to play on his ranch while the relatives of his victims tend to their graves.

Obama doesn't need to blame anyone.

We never should have put troops in that shite hole to "nation build" without an actual plan once the bullets stopped flying.

Bush IS to blame.

Nobody is really arguing that point. I don't know why you guys keep yelling at everybody about it.

Geez, this thread has spiraled out of control, but I should have expected it...

Again, I am not arguing who's fault the circumstances actually are... The question I was asking is if Obama will use the "Blame Bush" fallback that he has over and over again after he claimed credit/responsibility for ending the war in Iraq.

You can't say "I ended the war and things fell into despair, but its still Bush's fault"

Obama wants it both ways and the original question was if this situation will be the same as always.

The OP certainly is.

I ignored the drivel of the posts between the OP and mine...Im certain the blame Obama gang was standing up to be counted.
