Re: Iraqi forces losing 'will to fight' against ISIS
Saddam Hussein could have done absolutely NOTHING to prevent Bush from engaging in regime change. That train had left long before. History will be very hard on George W Bush, who left office humiliated with dismal approval ratings! For all the GOP could throw at Clinton, he still grabbed his coat and hat, stepped out of the W H on January 20, 2001 with a grin from ear to ear as he read the polls which favored him in a 66% approval rating. What's that, better than double dubyas?
I am heartened by your reply.
Thank you!
I get tired of the same old recitation of LW talking points or RW less than inspired justifications for the war.
You are a thinking man. And I appreciate your post.
But, in light of current events, which has prompted many intellectual excursions into the hazy and as yet unwrit future, I can imagine an unexpected benefit from the invasion which may make the whole thing look like a bargain in the long run.
ISIS.
ISIS has shown us that when push comes to shove Middle Eastern Muslims place a greater
value and importance on Islamic doctrine than on Democracy.
The two are at odds.
And in the face of the TRUEST followers and warriors of Mohammed we see that those who could and initially do sign up to fight for their own freedom and Democracy and man's law (i.e. the Iraqi military) flee Allah's Mujaheddin.
Sometime down the line that knowledge could be priceless.
When the SHTF M.E. Muslims will side with Islam before they would side with Democracy.
