#16 Geeesh, a neo-con of the first order. Then again, Dems are pro-war, too. So, net effect: nil. |

#15 Didnt the leave the rubble bouncing lot end up with ISIS? That's not rubble. Rubble would be killing Saddam's army by attacking it head-on instead of bypassing it to get to Baghdad quickly. Our problem is that we left his army intact. When Germany surrendered, 5m German soldiers lay dead. That's 7% of its pre-war population. That is what war weariness looks like. Syrians are war weary after losing perhaps 400K military dead out of 20m people. That's 2% of the population. I suspect if we had simply killed Saddam's army in battle, the occupation would have been a lot more peaceful. |

#4 Bolton's a good guy, but he's big on neo-con regime changing. Regime change? Sure. Nation-building? Been there. Done that. Never again. Smash it to smithereens, and let the bastards fight over the rubble. |

#2 Not sure about this. Bolton's a good guy, but he's big on neo-con regime changing. At least that's what I've got from reading some of his stuff. |
