    When a country launches an unprovoked invasion of another country and sets up a puppet government that "invites" it to stay and help suppress the people of that country who do not want that puppet government to be in power, that is an occupation army, especially when it is actively fighting an "enemy" that consists of people from the occupied country.

    Really, you didn't know there was a large US military presence in Saudi Arabia?
    Because there were Saudi's who were concerned enough to organize the 9/11 attacks based on that large US military presence....

    I do have a valid argument that is wasted on those who are deaf.

    Is the U.S. also occupying Japan. Perhaps most of Europe....or most of the world?


    Damn...we are freakin' Badass to control so much and occupy pretty much everything.

    Hail the great and powerful United Empire!

    “When I talked to President Obama, he confirmed that he keeps a diary,” he continued. “I asked for some of it for some of the work I was doing and he said, ‘No, it wouldn’t be relevant.’ But are there diaries?”

    “Remember, go back to the 1980s and Iran-Contra,” Woodward noted. “Ronald Reagan kept a very detailed diary, and he finally turned it over.”

    The veteran Post reporter also knocked Clinton and Obama’s continuing response to the Benghazi investigation, claiming it’s not all about partisan politics. “There are facts,” he asserted. “There is neutral inquiry. And there is a way to look at this and get that information and see if there is new information.”

    Bob Woodward helped bring Nixon down. He is a real investigative reporter who knows a scandal when he sees one.

    The formal occupation ended, but we still have bases there, the locals don't want us there, except the bar and brothel owners.
    Call it what you want, foreign troops in country are occupying that country.
    Now most Germans and Japanese are OK with the US presence.
    But Arabia is a different story.
    Arabia was chopped up into little pieces, most Arabs wanted one country, called Syria, with the capital Damascus, but in 1919, the Allied Powers decided that it was in their interests to keep the Arabs suppressed, so they chopped up Arabia, into little fiefdoms, installed Kings, declared mandates, to help the little brown brothers to become civilized.....and to control the oil. You didn't know that?

    The people who attacked the WTC thought so.....

    Bush pulled all US forces out after 9/11 to try to appease his former business partner....

    What, it's not open now? Are they coming to spend all their money here or to get money from our economy? If they are coming to spend their pesos by all means let them come in.

    And what was the alternative to disrupting al Qaeda and removing Saddam from power?

    Both accomplished.

    Bush ended one and Obama has mismanged the transition of that one and the current one.

    There hasn't been a need for one but would such a need arise he would not be capable of leading us through it.

    Thanks to the Democrats refusing to address their failure of their mortgage scheme which collapsed Bush's 52 months of full employment. How many months of full employment have we have under Democrat government?

    Which was already gone by half due to the recession he inherited, the dot.com bust and 9/11 but managed those well and only say a one year deficit of $400B then cut it to a paltry $161B in three years.

    After the Democrats took that $161B Bush/Republican deficit and turned it in a $1,400B one.

    Obama supported and voted for the Pelosi/Reid FY2008 budget and it;s deficit of $400B and then after supporting and voting for the CR in 2008 to get past the election worked with Pelosi and Reid to pass the FY2009 budget with it's $1,400B deficit and signed it into law, Bush had nothing to do with it;s all Obama's.

    Bush
    Bush
    Bush by FAR.

    But do tell me on what basis do you attribute the 2009 deficit to Bush and divorce Obama of it?

    - - - Updated - - -

    We were in a cease-fire with Iraq with the official policy of the United States stating that Saddam could not be allowed to stay in power.

    How do you remove Saddam and not rebuild the government?

    First it wasn't a Clinton surplus, Clinton opposed the measures that brought it about. Second the deficit was already falling in half by the time Bush was taking office. The economy went into a slowdown before he was even elected and recession within weeks. His tax cuts didn't go into full effect until 2003 and revenues not only rebounded but soared. So how exactly did he "squander the surplus" the only thing that occurred in 2001 was his stimulus, do you oppose government stimulus in a recession?

    We were in a cease-fire with Saddam regularly firing at our aircraft.

    Not only did the UN not claim that as Saddam had kicked the inspectors out and was refusing to cooperate we know from what we found after his disposal it was in complete violation.

    Nope you lost it in 1998 when Saddam's removal became the official policy of the US and in 2003 when Congress voted to use military force to do it with the unequivical support of the current presumptive presidential nominee.

    So the question is not whether we should have removed Saddam but how, so what was your plan?
