I agree with Romney. We thought Iraq possessed WMDs and that served as the basis for our invasion. At the very least, with the knowledge we now have about Iraq, WMDs could not be used as that basis. Therefore, it's probable that an invasion would not have taken place.
Without any sense of irony, that party wants to repeat Iraq with Iran. Are we going to have a deja vu repeat of this a decade from now from the same assholes feeding us that line now? Do we have another trillion under the couch?
Last I checked, we have something called military deterrence. We're a goddamn super power. Iraq in both wars was fucking Wisconsin, and Iran is Venezuela. The whole idea is if anybody steps on Superman's cape, they get destroyed.
With such whitewashing currently going on by the Party who sanctioned and greenlighted the biggest American military blunder since Vietnam, people forget: military deterrence worked on Saddam after '91. He was contained, he wasn't a serious military threat with few to nofriends in that region (save Syria and numerous piss-ant militias/terrorist groups.)
Nevertheless, we've planted the seeds of democracy in the Middle East where they probably would not have been planted for the foreseeable future.
Yes piss away billions of infrastructure for those "new free" countries, but any cent for Americans or our schools or bridges or whatever?
SOCIALISM!
