I get it. You know a lot about the Middle East and its history. Good for you. But instead of trying to impress everyone with trivia, why don’t you just come out and tell us what you would do?
Would you pull the U.S. military out of Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the Middle East entirely? What would you do differently from Obama?
As for the Iraq War, I believe that Bush/Cheney was looking out for Haliburton’s interests and not the U.S.’s when they made the decision to go to war with Iraq. Bush/Cheney wanted to get the military bogged down in a hopeless situation in Iraq so that Haliburton could benefit for year’s to come. I believe that when the Iraq War started Cheney knew that it would be very hard for the U.S. military to ever completely pull out of Iraq and that Haliburton (and thus Cheney as a stockholder) would benefit for years to come. Bush/Cheney will be judged by history as one of the most evil and corrupt regimes in U.S. history.
Al Gore was clearly against unilateral action in Iraq, so stop trying to make it look like Clinton/Gore would have taken the same actions in Iraq as Bush did:
And are you trying to say that Al Qaeda is not in Pakistan? Please point me to some credible source that agrees with you.
If your next post is full of trivia with no indication of how you would act in the Middle East, then I’ll consider our conversation in this thread over.
