As for Iraq... I'll pose the same question I've been posing for the last five years....how long would you have us stay? Because in order to influence things in Iraq in the way you propose WE WOULD BE THERE FOR FUCKING EVER.

Bottom line is something else I will repeat over and over and over....no US invasion of Iraq, no ISIS. Saddam would have squashed them like bugs.

And since this thread is supposed to be about the Iranian nuclear threat, I have a question for you. Do you think if Saddam had been left alone he would be content today to sit back passively and watch the mullahs in Tehran make their mad dash toward nukes? Something tells me Saddam would be hell-bent on getting there first. Which means the US would be trying to stop two nuclear programs, not one. Bush removed the first threat (a nuclear Iraq), now it's Obama's turn to stop the second one (a nuclear Iran). Given Obama's proven foreign policy ineptness, you should be grateful that he only has to stop one nuke program instead of two!
