I was just watching O'Reilly's interview with Cheney and I thought Bill would be throwing him softballs but he didn't. He came at him pretty strong asking what he thought we actually gained from the Iraq War and he didn't seemed satisfied with Dick's answers. The best part was when Dick said because Obama pulled out of Iraq now the region is a threat for terrorism again and Bill said "So then we didn't get anything out of the war, right?" Dick fumbled for words and Bill again reiterated that if the country again poses a threat of Al Qaeda terror networks, the war and the money and lives it cost was a waste.
Anyone that didn't see the Iraq conflict as a big ass waste of time 5 seconds after it started needs to wear a permanent dunce cap. It was THAT obvious right from the beginning.
4500 troops are dead for absolutely NOTHING. ZERO. DONUT.
Truth hurts but that's what Aleve is for. Pop 2 of em.

Care to report the other things he said? Oh that's right you are just posting what is convenient for your agenda? I saw the segment too.
We got worse than nothing out of the Iraq War; the Baathist government kept the al-Qaeda types, and analogous Shia groups, firmly down. They are now in their glory.
Just spent the weekend with a group of multiple amputee vets... we got a lot out of Iraq... a lot more young men and women tragically disabled for not a damned thing while a man who is a absolute poster board for Chicken Hawk sits around pontificating about how we should still be fighting the most ridiculous war (even more ludicrous that Vietnam) in American history.
*I say that the Iraq exceeded Vietnam in stupidity because Vietnam should have taught us everything that we've ever needed to know about stupid wars.
When Iraq attacked our ally Kuwait they funked up. When the refused to live up to the condition of the treaty or cease fire or what ever the UN called it we politley enforced for the rest of the world

Who should be thankful
Nice. And that was worth 4500 American lives?
Our ally Kuwait? LMAO...seriously?
Able bodied Kuwaiti men were partying in Cairo while Americans were saving their asses. And don't tell me about the 2 Kuwaitis that saw combat.
I cant help it if they are sitting on one of the largest oil reserves and transportation depots in the world. If you are saying the US has no geo/political and economic interests in the area you might want to check out where that TSP of your is invested.
