I said almost from the get go that Iraq would turn out just like Vietnam, and now look- It's turning out just like Vietnam.
No sooner do we pull out than the corrupt government we put in place- which no one over there sees as legitimate- is on the verge of being overthrown by a new and improved insurgency. The army we trained, without our forces there to support them is fleeing, and at home the right wingers are blaming the liberals who opposed the war for the collapse.
The only difference this time around is that instead of going communist we're going to have another Islamic Republic to deal with. Nice going Neocons. If just one of you chickenhawk pieces of shit had had your ass in the grass when it was your time, maybe it wouldn't have come to this- or maybe we could have just stayed out of this whole mess in the first place.
