re: #1188 Stanley Sea

Uh, we are still there. It doesn’t end till it ends.

Yep, we sure are, don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say that we don’t have to “stay the course” now, of course we do. Iran is sitting waiting in the wings and hoping for us to leave a destabilized and weak country.

Still it basically comes down starting a war solely for the purpose of the “Bush” legacy, well, he got his legacy alright, not the kind he imagined when he was standing on that aircraft carrier with the “Mission Accomplished” sign though…

Afghanistan I was 100% behind, Iraq I always saw as nothing but trying to “do one better than his daddy.” He fucking failed, badly, ineptly, grotesquely, not in war, but the aftermath he had seemingly never given any thought to. Didn’t the dufus bother to ask his daddy why he stopped short of toppling the country after the “100 hour war?”

George H was a pretty damn good president
George W was a fricking moron who was led by the nose by his Neo-con advisers.

The results have been much less than could have been desired.
