when we have as a nation proven over and over that we don't have the stomach for it and the ROW does not appreciate our efforts?
Why not France? They are moaning over the atrocities and I suspect they have the ability to take out Syria's chemical facilities and delivery systems.
I disagree that Iraq II was as damaging to us as you perceive. Bush takes the hit from ROW and Iraq is glad Saddam is gone. It was a financial disaster more than a fp disaster.
I supported the war based on a regime change and never bought into the WMD thing. I also said at the outset we had to be out in a year or two stretching it. We easily won the war in the allotted time but I hope we have learned, once and for all that we are damn good warriors and piss poor policemen. Bottom line in retro it was a bad choice
As for our so called greedy oil based motivation. The smart, pragmatic play would have been to prop up Saddam and turn him into a client state that would have been far more stable than what we have now.
