Looks like Petraeus wasn't a liar, and that Bush did a damn good job

Uh huh... by invading for no earthly reason other than his own ego.
Thousands dead for no reason.

Tens of thousands of our own citizens wounded, 100s of thousands of
Iraqis dead, millions displaced.

For what exactly? *Does anyone know?

Sounds like a victory, you betcha.

And why, pray tell, is 'Bama still sending soldiers to die in
Afghanistan? Because Afghanistan is of such benefit to our national
interests?

If we were there for no earthly reason, then why the hell is 'Bama
singing the praises of the outcome in Iraq?
