Bush encourage the Shia to rebel and then left them to their fate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745261961793742823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-6924850652546694692016-01-31T20:41:40.779-05:002016-01-31T20:41:40.779-05:00It has been alleged that the CINC swings both ways...It has been alleged that the CINC swings both ways so is this a surprise?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745261961793742823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-59729320503494836402016-01-31T14:00:11.936-05:002016-01-31T14:00:11.936-05:00I like the "rudderless" reference...

Unfortunately that has proven not to be the case. <br /><br />Iraq, which Gates mentions, is a prime example. Due to the mistaken catastrophic elective war that the US brought to that country, the citizens of Iraq who are still alive don't want the US there. It's not like Obama had a choice, thanks (officially) to Bush's treaty with Iraq. So we can dismiss Gates.Don Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444968656600936525noreply@blogger.com
