Bush chickens roost over shattered Iraq

We anti war critics have been predicting the collapse of Iraq for a decade now. As the 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIS) marches across Iraq, gobbling up the second largest city Mosul, and controlling the western third of the country, the US trained Iraq soldiers are shedding their uniforms faster than you can say "shock and awe." The war party, headed up by Senators John McCain and Lindsay Graham are demanding renewed military intervention by the president and blaming the entire Iraqi collapse on his pull out of Iraq in 2011.

Bunk.

The American public was sick of a decade of senseless, criminal war President George W. Bush launched against Iraq in 2003, would have preferred it never been fought, and lamented Obama's excruciatingly slow three year pull out. Several trillion dollars squandered, hundreds of thousands dead including 4,489 GI's and millions injured or displaced is not enough for the virulent warmongers McCain and Graham. McCain in particular sounds delusional or mentally challenged when he says we won in Iraq until Obama pulled out. What he conveniently or possibly medically forgets is that the Iraqis kicked us out because we wouldn't accept their demand to hold US soldiers accountable for atrocities they have a tendency to commit when defiling Iraqi territory. Both McCain and Graham, rabid proponents of Bush's criminal war, are working hard to erase their responsibility for the senseless bloodletting by calling it a just cause and noble victory being lost by a president who simply doesn't share their lust for war, war and more war. The only force that can keep Obama from giving into their crazed demands is the American People, who rose up and prevented, through public opinion, the senseless bombing of Syrian forces that would have killed hundreds, if not thousands of innocents, and achieved nothing. We should let Iraq's best new buddy Iran, who we gifted Iraq with by toppling Saddam Hussein, pull their Shi'ite chestnuts out of the fire being torched by the Sunni militants. Iran's elite Qud force is already being deployed in Tikrit, Karbala and Najaf. Since the war party still lusts for war with Iran, allowing Tehran to save Iraq in not an option. The congressional war lovers, abetted by their fellow sociopaths and war profiteers in the media, the military and the munitions makers will get their way unless WE push back. Our message is simple: We've killed enough.
