Some of the revisionist history here is truly amazing. I guess you have long term memory amnesia and just store up what FoxNews says the last few weeks.
Certain people must have just blocked out all the interviews given by Cheney in 2003.
“We will be welcomed as liberators.”
“We will not be in Iraq for any significant period of time.”
“Iraq has WMDs.”
Some of you forgot that Rumself vetoed the commanders that said that post-War Iraq would require more troops than the administration was going to send.
Did you forget that the “Surge” happened in 2007? 4 years after the recommendation made by our military, which was initially vetoed by this administration.
If there are malcontents, it’s because they’re astonished in how things have gone to @#$@ since 2001 when we (a) had a good economy and (b) had allies all over the world.
For a bunch of guys that never served in combat, they’ve done a pretty good job of getting our military bogged down and of not listening to guys who have served.
All that being said, I’m not willing to withdraw from Iraq at this juncture due to my foreign policy beliefs (I’m a pragmatic militarist) so there is a chance that I will support McCain. But to pretend that Bush and Cheney need to get plaudits for the sad state of our country is amazing.
