You can try to go back to the original sin but this particular problem started not with the invasion and liberation, but the failure to keep American (and our allies) troops in Iraq to deter something like this from happening. You can go read Paul Bremer. He repeats today what I said a couple of days ago. Originally Posted by JD BarleycornYou're a fucking idiot.

You can try to spin it any fuckin' way you want Admiral, but it all goes back to that. No invasion and, setting aside the trillion dollars we spent and the 4,400 US service men and women who would still be alive, no current crisis, no ISIS, no US personnel in that shithole of a country and......none of the problems we are currently experiencing. This shit is on you and yours, nobody else.
The only reason American lives are at risk right now is because of your stupid invasion. The idea that the solution to this problem is the never-ending perpetual presence of American combat troops in Iraq is equally stupid. We get to go to war with a different group of religious whackjobs every few years, starting with ISIS. It's a dumb plan, it's always been a dumb plan and it will always be a dumb plan. Dunce.
