So President Bush was right all along about Iraq

You can't have it both ways really. You can't complain when the US supports dictatorial leaders, while suppressing the locals to keep peace, then criticize them for supporting those leaders when the locals end up overthrowing them. (Like Egypt.) It would be a lot more honest, if people just said they didn't care about the Middle East and didn't care what it took to maintain order.

LOL....the "vacuum" was created when Bush removed Saddam. Doing that created an apocalyptic petri dish that began to fester. The blow back has been in the works for sometime now.

Was Saddam a dictator? Yup. Was he a Tyrant? Yup! (never mind we supported him for decades before) But the alternative to him not being in power, as everyone sane and knowledgable from Republican Brent Scowcroft and James Baker on down ALWAYS warned, was a hugely unstable sectarian powder-keg. And that's exactly what happened.

Fukk outta here with this dumb sonofabytch Bush being right about anything. He claimed we would be hailed as liberators, and declared "mission accomplished" 2 weeks into the the conflict. To date it's 5000+ Americans killed, American Tax Payer bill $3+ Trillion and running, and untold Iraqi civilian and solider casualties more than Sadaam could have ever dreamed in his wildest imagination.

To be fair, it was at the time. The war was between the Iraqi army and the USA, and they won in 23 days. Everything else was a new enemy entering the conflict.

same thing in libya

the house of saud (saudi arabia) is just as bad as saddam and gaddafi, but if the house of saud was to ever bb edisposed of

democracy doesn't work in the majority of the nmiddle east, i think only turkey and yemen it someone what does


jordan = king abdullah
saudi arabia = house of saud
egypt -= had mubarak now country in a stae of discord
iran = ayallatoyah
syria - assad - where isis began whent eh us tried to overthrow him
uae = monarcy

All the western powers (U.S., U.K., France, Germany) always support dictatorships when it suits them. This aint nothing new

So George Bush prodded them for years and years and then when they got their weight up, they're coming back to attack.

What a novel prediction. Brilliant even.
