As most of us expected, things are beginning to get back to normal in Iraq:

I'm sure we'll be hearing Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of the "right wing" pundits spewing their spin all over the airwaves about how Iraq is crumbling because of president Obama's policies. Nothing could be further from the truth. Iraq IS Iraq! Bush's "surge" of troops and MONEY was meant to accomplish ONE THING: Keep the inevitable from happening until a new, Democratic admistration was in place.
Well, the new mantra for "We The People" should be: REMEMBER GEORGE W. BUSH!
Let's not forget the administration which was responsible for our country's invasion of a sovereign nation. Let's not EVER forget the administration which bears responsibility for each and every American who died in Iraq. Let's not EVER forget the administration which is responsible for every American who was wounded in this unnecessary and corrupt "war." Let's not forget which administration was responsible for the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Iraqi civilians who have been killed, maimed or relocated during the "ethnic cleansing" because of our invasion of their nation.
REMEMBER GEORGE W. BUSH! But don't stop there... Remember Dick "the monster" Cheney! Remember Donald Rumsfeld! Remember Condoleezza Rice!
Violence will quickly escalate in Iraq from this point forward. Nothing can stop that. It was inevitable from day one. It took a monster to maintain some semblance of order there. Saddam Hussein was violent, corrupt, evil and all the other adjectives the Bush administration used to describe him. So naturally the answer was to put in place a puppet of American policy and the oil companies who controlled that policy to keep things under control while they drained all the money possible from America's budget and the Iraqi oil supply.
Oh, REMEMBER HALLIBURTON! It was not just the greed of the oil companies which took us into Iraq. It was Dick Cheney's personal income generator too.
Afghanistan is rolling quickly downhill into a Vietnam style quagmire for us. Most Americans were in favor of the invasion there with good reason. Most of the people responsible for 9/11 lived, trained in and controlled that country. Once again, George W. Bush, et. al. dropped the ball when they had a chance to deal a knockout blow to Al Queda once and for all. But that will all be clear when history is written.
Make no mistake about it... Responsibility for the trillion dollars spent in Iraq, the lives lost in Iraq, the quagmire in Afghanistan, the new haven for Al Queda and Taliban in Pakistan and all future money, lives and effort required for these endeavors lie in one place:
REMEMBER GEORGE W. BUSH!
