HAAHaHahahahaHaha. “Bush’s use of force in the Surge trimmed Iran’s sails.” Iraq used to be Iran’s single greatest threat. A neighboring country led by a crazed Sunni who had previously invaded them and attacked them with chemical weapons. Iraq kept Iran in check. Now Iraq is a majority Shia nation, freed from its oppressive Sunni ruler. And guess what Shia-led nation they have begun growing diplomatic ties with? Ding ding ding! Iran!
By throwing Saddam Hussein out of power, Bush did more to empower Iran than any U.S. President in history.
So you’d prefer that the rape rooms were still operating and the mass graves were still being filled, is that it smartass?
