    You have shown yourself incapable of confronting the truth.

    Bush agreed to the date of withdrawal of all US troops and, when the Iraqi parliament refused to grant those US troops a waiver from Iraqi criminal prosecution, there was agreement among the US executive, Congress, and the Pentagon that they be withdrawn by Bush's specified date.

    Obviously, you are unable to refute those documented realities.

    Two bipartisan investigations showed that it was bad intelligence that led Bush to go to war. That Congress had the same intelligence that Bush had. Including some that showed there were disagreements on what Iraq had and didn't have between the different intelligence agencies. But all the agencies did agree that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and what he didn't have he was trying to attain. That Iraq would always be a danger to America and his neighbors in the Middle East.

    The truth is that Obama inherited a representative constitutional republic in Iraq and gave it away out of either stupidity or corruptness.

    Unable to acknowledge this truth the left blames Bush.

    More comedy. Blame Bush is back. If the left is correct about Bush why couldn’t the foreign policy genius that is Obama fix his claimed error ??

    Blaming Obama for his colossal foreign policy failure of giving away a representative constitutional democracy in Iraq is obvious. Obama ignored history and all his advisors and undid the victory in Iraq.

    But they did. Some were found but the technology and capability to manufacture WMD was in Iraq.

    Blaming Bush for invading a country for no good reason and killing hundreds of thousands of people and the biggest foreign policy mistake in history is appropriate. You are blaming the fireman for not being able to put out a blazing inferno. Blame the firestarter Bush.

    No according to the Offical Iraq Survey Team. Those are the facts.

    Bush turned over a safe and stable representative constitutional republic in the middle east to Obama. Obama abandoned this victory. That's inexcusable. All the left has is blame Bush.

    Q: Were there really weapons of mass destruction in Iraq when the U.S. invaded in 2003?

    A: No. The Iraq Survey Group determined that Iraq had abandoned its quest to develop chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and that it had already destroyed all of its existing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons.

    The Iraqi government said it would not grant immunity to american soldiers in Iraq. If we stayed past the SOFA and they began arresting american soldiers for war crimes.....what would you have done?

    If you are interested in the facts read Charles Duelfer's book "Hide and Seek - The Search for the Truth in Iraq" - 2009. Duelfer headed the ISG.

    Obama did nothing - he walked away. And yet a few years later after ISIS had invaded Iraq our troops were back in Iraq with no new SOFA. Why is that ??

    Iraq was a safe, stable, and secure constitutional republic until Obama gave it away. The US gained nothing due to Obama's colossal blunder.

    Yes, blame Obama for allowing ISIS to grow and become what they are after we pulled our forces out and we stationed many of them in countries close by. ISIS came down from Syria to attack Iraq, Iraq asked us for air power against them and Obama refused, calling them Jr. Varsity playing soldier. Even after they captured the first city and tried to be as brutal as they could, chopping heads off and massacring many to scare the people and defenders and went from town to town doing the same, Obama refused to help with air power. Time after time he allowed them to get on that desert highway in long caravans and did nothing to stop them. Not until American heads came off and public pressure forced him to do something. The something was very little for a long time. He micro managed the attacks and pilots weren't allowed to hit most of their targets. You have to know Bush would have never let ISIS take over almost half of Iraq that Americans fought and died to liberate, just to give it back up to ISIS. So yes, I blame Obama for allowing ISIS to do what they did.
