    Your excuses are alt facts, not reasons, period.

    The war should not have happened, but it did, and there should have been a much better nation making plan in place. Because there was not, the insurgency occurred and two hundred thousand killed (including) Americans and several hundred thousand injured, wounded, and otherwise hurt (including Americans).

    I disagree with you on the first bit but agree with you on the second. My point is things have now turned around for Iraq, ultimately the liberation was justified. .

    No, the turning around which you allege has not justified overthrowing SH and destabilizing the ME.

    Find me an Iraqi who wishes SH was still in power? It didn't destabilize the MH, the Arab Spring was unrelated and spontaneous.

    I don't have to. That is a false standard, Reasonablerob. The Arab Spring was directly related to Iraq.

    You said it was not caused by Iraq. Prove that assertion.

    I chose :"neither here nor there" because it is all political theatre from the perspective that I view political happenings and circumstances. It is all planned, contrived and managed to give the appearance of reality though it is not reality. Because we live in a Managed "world" or environment, absolutely NOTHING is left to chance what we see and hear on a daily basis in regard to political events is ALL THEATRE.

    Not how it works but okay. The Arab Spring started in Tunisia in December 2010 when street vendor Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire as a protest against poverty and corruption. It brought down the government there then spread across the Arab world, bringing down the governments in Egypt and Libya and sparking the civil war in Syria. Please explain to me what this had to do with Iraq?

    So that's why Obama sent Drones into Libya after their own people started a 'revolution' called by Hillary and Obama?

    lol!

    Yeah, it is, Reasonablerat. You have to show that Iraq and the ensuring war that spilled over the ME did not cause or influence the Arab Spring. You got the losing shtick.

    The Iraq war had nothing to do with mounting protests over MG which led to Hillary and Obama calling for the people to rebel against their own government (one that had nothing to do with Iraq...not sure why you're claiming it did). Obama and Hillary (the people who you answer to) SENT DRONES to Libya (not Iraq...has nothing to do with the Iraq war) to help the PEOPLE of libya kill their leader.

    You couldn't be more out of touch with reality.

    No, you're floundering, come on, I thought better of you than that. Just admit you were wrong. The self-immolation of a Tunisian street vendor in protest at poverty and corruption in his own country setting off a wave of protests and reforms throughout the middle east has nothing to do with Iraq and no one has ever said it has. No one linked it to the Iraq liberation in any way whatsoever.

    Attacking me does not save your failure, my friend.

    You have not demonstrated that there was no connection between the godawful mess in Iraq spilling over in Iraq. You saying it does not means nothing, because your assertion is not authoritative

    Does this sentence make sense in your head?

    Second- The burden of proof lies on the accuser.

    What does Iraq have to do with Obama and Hillary (who you answer to) intervening in a Libyan 'revolution' or 'spring' as they both claimed?

    This is the same country Obama and Hillary (who you answer to) made their own choice to send drones to kill in Libya (not Iraq- had nothing to do with Iraq war).

    You are grasping at straws that are so far away from reality we all can't help but laugh.

    Pointing out the flaws in your accusation is not 'attacking' you. How much more authoritative do you wish me to be? There's not evidence for your assertion and every bit of evidence to the contrary, those taking part in the Arab Spring don't even mention Iraq in their motivaton. Okay, I'm now claiming Hilary Clinton ran a child sex ring in the basement of a pizza parlour, prove to me that she didn't?

    Alt left radicals feel attacked when they are presented with facts.

    Your opinion is not authoritative, Reasonablerob.

    Your assertion means nothing without solid evidence, critical thinking, and empirical data.

    You make statements but do not support them (whether Arab Spring or Hillary Clinton), so them are your unsupported beliefs.

    So I guess we all believe Hilary ran the pizza parlour child sex ring as nothing is provable and therefore we can all believe what we wish to?

    Well then a very clear victory for the idea that the FBI have shown an anti-Trump bias.

    I bet you wouldn't find a single human being that was about to vote for Hillary then changed to a vote for Trump after Comey's announcement. Not a single one.

    It's interesting, has anyone ever seen a poll on the subject?
