Attacks Leave Over 70 Dead in Iraq

This is awful --- and obviously just a bitter taste of things to come.

There's raw video at the link: "Obama's Precipitous Withdrawal: Dozens Killed in Bomb Attacks Amid Iraq's Political Crisis."

I remember way back in 2002 (I think) during the invasion of Iraq, Saddam made a speach and he said: "If the United States invasion and occupation were successful the streets of Iraq would flow red with blood for decades to come".

Guess he called it correctly!

I wrote about this yesterday as well:

"Iraq: At least 78 dead! Another politically motivated and failed Obama policy decision!"

This President presents a clear and present danger to life as we know it!

The Bush invasion of Iraq will be remembered as one of the most stupid foreign policy decisions ever taken by the USA (and to even greater shame the UK - who should have known better than follow a man who didn't have a passport before becoming President). Except for CIA garbage info nearly all Western intelligence, including UK, were satisfied that Iraq could not be in possesion of nukes or have the means to deliver any WMD beyond its near borders. Until Bush and the USA went plain stupid, Iraq was the West's third best ally in the region after Israel and Saudi. What a total mess. Good American and Allied soldiers wasted. I'll leave my thoughts on Assghanistan for later.
