Wow, What the hell are you smokin'? Could you stop being such a hateful jackass? Would it be too difficult for you not to spew hate? By the way, what makes you an expert on the topic? I seriously would like to know. Everything Bush did was subject to scrutiny by the media. Get real- hater!

I think you have this ALL wrong. There NEVER was Al Qaida in Iraq because this Islamic movement would have meant an internal thread to the Iraqi regime and Saddam Hossein. We flooded the gates with our invasion of that sovereign country. There is no doubt that Saddam Hossein was a tyrant but trust me because of our invasion of that country more innnocent people have been killed than Saddam ever did in his many years of terror against his people. We have also allowed a strong influence of the Iranian regime in Iraq don't forget Maliki and a few others lived in Iran for many years, so did actually their spiritual leader Sistani who was even born in Iran.
We have driven the Taliban out of Afghanistan and instead of focusing on that country with rebuilding the infrastruture and going after the 9/11 masterminds we neglected our efforts on fighting terrorism and invading Irad. I am sorry to say, Obama got it right. What is most important for every citizen of this country is NOT to listen to soundbites from CNN or FOX but do your own intelligent research. A well informed citizen.
