i am talking about the Iraq Liberation Act, the UN Resolution 1441, British Intelligence, German Intelligence, The Kaye Report none of which matter to you or even matter today. All you want to do is place blame but that serves no purpose. ISIS was run out of Iraq and thrived in Syria while "YOUR" President did nothing. He didn't negotiate an American Presence in Iraq after the withdrawal and took credit for leaving a peaceful stable Iraq leaving equipment behind and no air bases. He is incompetent just like his supporters
Iraq is not a perfect place, but we’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq, with a representative government... In Afghanistan we’ve broken the momentum of the Taliban... And around the globe, as we draw down in Iraq, we have gone after al Qaeda so that terrorists who threaten America will have no safe haven. - Barack Obama

Sometimes!
But not in Iraq or Afghanistan (or Syria or Ukraine)
A Washington Post/ABC News poll shows two-thirds of Americans believe what some of us were saying four and more years ago: the war in Afghanistan was not worth fighting.
Japan was talking to us through the Russians. They were willing and proposed almost the same thing we eventually accepted. We always talk to our enemies in one way or another. But here's a link:
In an article that finally appeared August 19, 1945, on the front pages of the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Times-Herald, Trohan revealed that on January 20, 1945, two days prior to his departure for the Yalta meeting with Stalin and Churchill, President Roosevelt received a 40-page memorandum from General Douglas MacArthur outlining five separate surrender overtures from high-level Japanese officials. (The complete text of Trohan's article is in the Winter 1985-86 Journal, pp. 508-512.)
This memo showed that the Japanese were offering surrender terms virtually identical to the ones ultimately accepted by the Americans at the formal surrender ceremony on September 2 -- that is, complete surrender of everything but the person of the Emperor. Specifically, the terms of these peace overtures included:
Complete surrender of all Japanese forces and arms, at home, on island possessions, and in occupied countries.
Occupation of Japan and its possessions by Allied troops under American direction.
Japanese relinquishment of all territory seized during the war, as well as Manchuria, Korea and Taiwan.
Regulation of Japanese industry to halt production of any weapons and other tools of war.
Release of all prisoners of war and internees.
Surrender of designated war criminals.
Was Hiroshima Necessary?
Did any of the above reports warn of the consequences of invading Iraq? Such as shooter did on 8/14/92 when he uttered these words to george the first?
“It would be wise not to invade Baghdad and get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq.”
Hhmmm…kinda makes one wonder wha hoppned between the dates of 8/14/92 and 12/9/01 when shooter uttered these words on meet the press.
"Well, the evidence is pretty conclusive that the Iraqis have indeed harbored terrorists." Also claims 9/11 hijacker Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi spy in Prague, a claim he'll repeat long after CIA and Czechs disavow.
On 3/24/02 shooter utters these words on CNN.” Saddam is actively pursuing nuclear weapons at this time. “HARK! Is that war drums I hear beating in yon distant hills?
On March 2002 the war drums get louder when these words SPEW outta shooters crooked mouth.
” the question is no longer if the US will invade Iraq but when. “
On June 2002 we have the women’s touch from Condi when she has this to say to a deputy raising doubts about Iraq war right before the bombing starts.” Save your breath. The president has already made up his mind."
June 2002” Iraq bombing begins.
"Military will fly 21,736 sorties and attack 349 targets between now and the start of the war. “
HARK! Denizens of DP. Before you… the six month history of the birth of ISSI before your very eyes.:2wave:
Well that's the joke of the day, no year. Iraq has never been a functioning democracy. Btw, what exactly is Harper going to do to help things in Iraq, or any of the ME for that matter. Thankfully though, you've got an Internet opinion, and that's where it ends for you. You probably have some say in Canada though.
Sometimes you have to fight.
So as obama loses the peace in A-stan and hands it over it will be not worth fighting. Serious question-how old were you in 2001, and do you recall the atmosphere after 9/11?
Who to believe?? There is the US President, his Vice President, photos of the Iraqi elections on one side - and you on the other.

Hiroshima was necessary.
How often do liberals forget the words of dear leader?
I thought only terrorist thought it necessary to bomb civilian targets, wait................
I thought only terrorist thought it necessary to bomb civilian targets, wait................
SO?Does the fact that some believed the lies alter anything?Lies got us in Iraq.Therefore the bush/shooter/rummy lies fertilized the egg of ISSI in the womb of mother Iraq.:2wave:
That's where you'd be wrong.
The atmosphere for those of us after 9/11 that were opposed to war in A-Stan was rough. It earned you the title of Taliban John, anti-American, un-patriotic, Muslim lover and other criticisms. We were ahead though and correct. Sadly, its too late, but now more than two thirds of American's realise it was a mistake to go to war in A-Stan and Iraq both. And for Christ's sake, cease with the lies about peace. US policy has caused nothing but strife in the ME.
You thought wrong. Maybe learn the rules of war before you comment?
War in Afghanistan was/is wrong? What do you think we should have done after 9/11/2001? Nothing?
That's where you'd be wrong.
He will say that purposely targeting civilians is exactly the same to attacking legitimate military targets. And he means it. :doh
The better question is what should have been done before 9/11???!!!
Oh I see, you too believe its an effective strategy. No big surprise.
No, I'd say that nuking a civilian city and killing a couple hundred thousand people in bed, at school, at work, at play etc, is as terroristic as you can get, and that if we would have lost that war it would have been US generals hung for war crimes instead.
Oh, I see. You blame the USA for terrorists flying passenger aircraft full of innocent families into buildings full of innocent people. We did nothing to deserve that. And our actions in Afghanistan afterward were completely justified.
