"I think if -- if they had had their way, if we'd followed the policies they'd pursued from the outset or advocated from the outset, Saddam Hussein would still be in power in Baghdad today.Dickhead just doesn't get it. The 'credit' goes for getting us the fuck out of Iraq not getting us stupidly stuck there at a cost of 4,376 lives and a couple trillion dollars.
So if they're going to take credit for it, fair enough, for what they've done while they're there, but it ought to go with a healthy dose of "Thank you, George Bush" up front and a recognition that some of their early recommendations, with respect to prosecuting that war, we're just dead wrong."
And I wonder how much less of a threat Iran would be today if Saddam Hussein was still in power?
