You mean, it didn't fail for those 6 years the Bush administration was involved in it? Boy, you're definitely an optimist. It's a shame you ignore the fact that it was entirely dependent on us for security, it failed to establish a stable political system and the politicians who were put in charge completely ignored everything the US said. Yeah, but it wasn't a failure from the moment the US set foot there. As I said, stay honest apdst.
I blame Donald Rumsfeld.
I like that! "Campaign promises aren't law"!Irrelevant. Campaign promises aren't law. So I ask you again: Who drew the withdrawal plan and constrained us to December 31st, 2011 withdrawal date?I'll wait for you to answer.
Not Rove? Surely the parachute issue is Rove's fault.
What about this?

Did you know that Barrack Obama was negotiating the terms for when SOFA expired, just as had been anticipated?
No they leave the place worse than they found it and then blame everyone else.
So the two options were Obama leaving the region to terrorists (which he picked) or perpetual war? False choice, much?
You are falsely equating two very different scenarios-the Benghazi attacks and the Iraqi genocide occurring now under Obama. They do share a common factor though-the death of innocents for Obama's PERSONAL political benefit.
Well apparently false choices are all people can make when you don't provide **** other than bitching with no options of your own. Care to man up and say what US Conservative would do... or is this your usual "I'm gonna sit back and point fingers and whine" thread?
I didn't realize you had made me president. My first act will be to sic the IRS on you.
Take a stand. Are you pissed that Obama IS doing something or isn't doing enough? Jesus. You are a wiggly fish that's hard to pin down other than having severe ODS as your position on all things.
So, predictably, you don't have crap. Man did I call this one.
Actually, Obama tried to extend the SOFA agreement but due to the contraversies re: Americam Miliary contractors and immunity from Iraqi prosecution the SOFA agreement extension was denied by the Iraqi government.
Even your dichotomy is flawed. He didn't do it right, and now isn't doing enough-like a scolded child dragging his feet-except it isn't a child-its the president of the freaking USA.
Mark my words-going down as the worst ever.
As Obama has so clearly demonstrated, liberalism and reality are like water and oil.
Projection at its finest.
Greetings, Swit. :2wave:
BHO should have tried bargaining, since those people love to haggle - it's in their blood, I think! :lol: I believe Maliki was disappointed when Obama said okay and left. Took all the fun out of it, and left him in a bad position as it turned out. Now we're back and it's worse than before! Sheesh!!
9/11 occurred after the elections and both Republicans and Democrats voted for the invasion of Iraq..[/QUOTEru
It was Bush's bright idea to respond to 9/11 by invading Iraq. The fact that it was approved by Congress, with some Democratic support, does not mean squat. A true functioning board of directors (Congress... not like what we have now, but the way they generally functioned for our first 220 years of existence) generally provides advice and consent, it does not run show. Going into Iraq was the doing of the Bush Administration; congress simply chose not to stop them.

So you are advocating for MORE executive control and less from Congress? Why do you hate checks and balances?

In fact they chose to support the decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5p-qIq32m8
