As much as I cringe at that thought, I equally cringe at how Bush handled it. Here we are 18 years later still at war. Bush got us into a huge mess. He did very little to WIN. He a lot to get us into a quagmire of pick-and-chase rather than destroy.
I had similar thoughts. Can you imagine if it had been Gore? We might have gotten a whole new department created into the federal government, passed and kept endless new laws curtailing the unalienable rights of citizens, had all new rules on how the government could track even citizens (let alone foreigners), etc., etc. It would have been HORRIBLE!
He never should have gotten us into Iraq. I am frustrated that I still have to watch folks I work with deploy into that region.
I'm quite certain you are wrong on this. President Obama told us how he got us out of Iraq, so I'm sure he wasn't lying, and we are now out of Iraq.
