I like what you said about the US invasion and Bush's inability, oh you said underestimated, understanding of the underlying hatreds in Iraq. Bush had been warned dozens of times. Even Cheney, in 1994, had given all the reasons why Bush 41 did not remove Saddam in 1991, in an interview you can find on Youtube. American troops did try and do the best job they could after the bungling invasion and subsequent bungling Nation Building by Paul Bremmer. But that doesn't change the fact, we should have never invaded Iraq, no matter how much of a terror Saddam was to his neighbors. In a way, it was a good thing.
Obama did not create the Arab Spring, nor did he suddenly cave into a brand new concept. Bush and Blair blathered on endlessly about DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST, after the LIES of WMD had been finally eliminated. So what was Obama to do? Say it's OK for Iraq and Afghanistan but not for Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya? And as far as leaving American troops in Iraq. NO SOFA agreement, no American troops. Maliki refused repeated offers for a new agreement. So whatever the Pentagon leaders were saying was Mute without a SOFA agreement.
