And when we leave the terrorists are going to attack us in the United States of America on our soil and in our cities.
That's right, just like Iraq did on Sept. 11, 2001, right?
Look, bottom line, the quote I pointed out in my first response is saying:
"Thanks for the memories, we've had fun and all, but it's really time you pick one fundamentalist, jihad religious group over another and financially support it until we have enough experience under our belts to start gasing our own citizens, again."
This one quote, in my opinion, is the very defining expression of their opinion of our presence in their country. I hate to believe that Saddam was the twist tie on a garbage bag of shit that exists in that country. But, it seems to be true. And, when the shit in the bag wants to hit the fan, it needs it's restraints removed to do so. And that's just what we've done.
I'm not arguing the merrits of an obviously bad man. He was, but he was a bad man that we supported for many years, and then like a lamb on the alter, we scarificed him for our own agenda.*
