My quick sum up on the conservative response to Obama's current actions in Iraq
So to sum up: Conservatives are people still convinced we would have won Vietnam if only liberals didn't mind meld with Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford and forced them into doing commie stuff.
Conservatives are not happy the Iraq war is ending exactly how liberals predicted it would end before it even started. The fault of this is of course liberals according to their recent analysis. If only we weren't right in 2002 it would never have happened today. Don't worry, though, Obama is still wrong with his actions the last 24hrs. He should have seen these things happening in Iraq when he pulled out even if he actually understood them way back in 2002. The mistake was obviously not winning the war after conservatives declared it over, or perhaps when it was still in its death throes, or possibly the eight years after that of continuing PAX Americana forced at gun point, or possibly it was listening to the self-governing Iraqi government when they asked us to leave. Now they assure us we can't make the same mistake we made in the past in not winning this war they told us we won already so now we need to reenter it. We will be fighting... IDK some guys that aren't Christian enough. Does it really matter who we are fighting if we win? It doesn't matter what the Bush policy was for exiting the war or that Obama has continuously monitored and updated his strategy and has included options he was not exactly thrilled to do come 2008 election. My own opinion is: If PAX Americana is the only stabilizing solution for the middle east then the middle east is not going to be stable long term. Something most of us understood before the war began but conservatives seem to think it makes them a genius in 2014 to realize and lecture us about.
