It's OT, this topic is about leaving Iraq, not how we got there, but since it has been brought up that this war was apparently all the fault of the Democrats, despite not controlling either house of congress or the executive at the time, I need only say this: the United States would not be in Iraq right now if Bush had not been elected president. Bush appointed people to positions of power that were
obsessed with taking down Saddam, regardless of the risks. Need proof? Watch this
Frontline
Some Democrats did vote for the war, but unlike most Republicans, they have realized what has become obvious to most of the US population, continued presence in Iraq is doing nothing but slowly destroying the military and taking the lives of some of our best young people, with no tangible benefit. It's time to leave, both Iraq and Neocon fantasy land.
