| iraq I took 2 months. of course, we left the bastard in control. that was mistake #1.
if bush had listened to his advisors instead of firing them, and sent enough soldiers and given them the proper equipment, iraq would have been in a much better position. if we had handed sovereignty over to an interim iraqi government we had been grooming from before the invasion, if elections were held for a new government as soon as baghdad had fallen and 'major conflicts' had ended, we might have a free sovereign iraq by now, and maybe could be thinking of bringing some of our soldiers home.
but instead bush said and did what was politically necessary in america to accomplish his goal of eliminating saddam. bush's goal was never to build a peaceful prosperous iraq. his actions prove it. |
