The way his army was rolled up shows he was a threat to absolutely no one outside of Iraq.

There's still time for her to learn to regret it. Major Hogwash Sep 2015 #14

That and her debacle in Syria, that she tried to blame Obama for Catherina Sep 2015 #21

The great thing is that Obama's throwing her under the bus Catherina Sep 2015 #30

I think you're spot on with this entire analysis, Catherina. delrem Sep 2015 #37

That was a mistake, she's admitted it. Hillary is not going to go around starting random wars like DanTex Sep 2015 #43

She sure pushed hard for the ruin of Libya, didn't she? polly7 Sep 2015 #44

You're joking, right? Libya was in the midst of a civil war already when the European led DanTex Sep 2015 #45
