Iraq has been a disaster, and I'm so glad there's a candidate running that voted against it. What have we gained by this $2 trillion adventure? (After all the soldiers' medical bills for the rest of their lives is accounted for.)
* Iran, by far a more dangerous enemy than Iraq, is now strengthened in the region. In fact, there are more Shi'a in Iraq than anything, and Iran is Shi'a, so where this ends, nobody know. Odds are Iran continues to be a thorn in our side, and Iraq ends up being their ally.
* The WMDs are gone, yay! Oh, there weren't any. Well, can't say that the cost was worth that. I mean, I can sell you a piece of magic shit that keeps away dragons too, especially for $2 trillion. Seen any dragons lately? Well then, see, that magic shit is worth the price.
* Our military is strained beyond fucking belief. Our soldiers and their families are paying a terrible price for this mistake, deployment after deployment after deployment. (And then when they get back to the States injured, welcome to the roach hotel known as Walter Reed. 'This hospital brought to you by the Republicans in charge. I'm George Bush and I enabled this disgrace.')
* Osama bin who? Oh, the guy who perpetrated 9/11, right, that guy. While we've got buttloads of our troops in Iraq chasing down nonexistent WMDs and cleaning up a mess that we never should have paid to create in the first place, Osama's been rebuilding in Afghanistan.
McCain voted for this. He still thinks it was a good idea. I fail to see the goodness in the results. You can put lipstic...oops, can't use that one anymore apparently. Although McCain has.
McCain needs to be held responsible for voting for this disaster. Period.
