Iraq won't get better until our military leaves. Period.
A new president?

I get so sick of the Bush bashing around here. The brutal fact is that there are people out there that want to kill us.
Bush's entire presidency has been defined by 9/11 and the war on terror.
I don't care who you think you are or how highly you value your own opinions, any president faced with the same decisions Bush has had to make was bound to stumble a bit. Lay off.
True.I get so sick of the Bush bashing around here. The brutal fact is that there are people out there that want to kill us. Bush's entire presidency has been defined by 9/11 and the war on terror.
Do you think any of the Bush bashers will care who you are or how right you think you are? I do not think so. Speaking for myself, I don't even know who you are, but I take your post to mean that there is too much political dissent on this board. Well, the statistics say that it is pretty much everywhere now. I happen to think it is for a good reason, as well, although I can't tell you who would have done a good job in Bush's place during 9/11. He acted in a way that I, at the time and now, have disapproved.I don't care who you think you are or how highly you value your own opinions, any president faced with the same decisions Bush has had to make was bound to stumble a bit. Lay off.

There. Is. No. Correlation. Between. 9/11. And. Iraq.
Are there terrorists in Iraq today? Yes. Why are we there? Because with no provocation we invaded their country, toppled their government, and went door to door searching homes at gunpoint for "weapons of mass destruction."
Honestly, if Iran came to the united states, launched a 30 day military campaign cumulating with taking Washington, DC street-by-street, and executed Bush for war-crimes, and then gutted the american government and replaced it with a pro-Iranian one that existed solely to give them a better oil market, yeah, I'd probably buy a sniper rifle too.
Simply, Bush had a lot of international support after 9/11. He chose to squander it by invading a country that was no longer a threat to anyone, and in doing so touched off a civil war and turned the country into a symbol and a training ground for islamic extremist terrorists.
In short, there do not exist words to adequately describe the degree to which he fucked up. If you want to debate whether cutting and running would make things better than trying to fight it out, go right ahead, but there is absolutely no grounds to defend Bush here. He didn't "make a stumble." He invaded the wrong fucking country.
