IRAQ WAR: Ending? What Have We Accomplished?

President Obama made a speech today reminding the American people that true to his word, he is basically ending the war in Iraq. The speech is a political speech trying to show voters going to the polls this week that he and the Democrats are actually accomplishing some things.

The Iraq War, of which I have blogged countless times through the years, was a fundamental blunder by President Bush and his neoconservative cohorts, a blunder that cost many lives and billions of American dollars and accomplished basically nothing and I want to use this fact to beat and continue to beat President Bush and his cohorts over the head forever and the twits that supported the war as well and you know who you are!

Iraq does not have a government even though elections were held five (5) months ago. Sectarian violence continues with July registering the most killings in the last two (2) years.

Obama said that he will maintain 50,000 troops in Iraq to help train an Iraqi army and keep the peace so to speak. ALL troops are to leave Iraq by the end of 2011. Well good luck with that since the Iraqis are just waiting for us to leave to start their civil war in which IRAN will play a big role – just wait and see.

Note: While your at it, bring home ALL our troops throughout the world (South Korea, Okinawa, Japan, Germany, etc.); it would save us a boat load of money which is being wasted on bases that don’t protect anything – let the countries protect themselves and pay for their own protection.



Now on to Afghanistan…
