Glenn Beck admits: Liberals got Iraq right

^Just to bounce back to this quote:
Exactly how many lives on both sides of the conflict (US, Iraq, Australia, UK, etc.) have had to die for him to come to such an epiphany?
I guess they all had to be sacrificed for Glenn Beck to learn something.
I suppose he could have also picked up a damn history book to learn something too, but.... you know... it's not as exciting or ratings-driving.
Where I had an issue with going into Iraq was not about who they were overthrowing but what the end game would be. President Bush may have had all the right reasons and motives, even aside from WMD's, but the area is very politically complicated. How could anyone predict an outcome aside from massive destruction?
Since the goal was to protect US business interests in the region that may very well have been the end game.
Ah Ha!
There's the Weapons of Mass Destruction.... It was the people of Iraq themselves. Saddam was hiding them in plain sight the entire time.
When we were shown those satellite images of those hangers, they weren't point to the hangers themselves but the people walking around them. Bush and his crew tried so hard to tell the world that the WMD's were Right There but the world didn't understand.
My frigging God.... George Bush was a GENIUS after all!!!

more importantly - how many more must die before right wing Americans learn that these adventures are for war profits and not for our good or the good of democracy???
You're so high.
You DG are so far right than any US Liberal. They'd be all over you because of your right wing views. You're a Tea Partier for crying out loud.
Obama Is Sending 275 US Troops To Iraq - Business Insider
Old news.. they are there to protect the embassy... after Benghazi what would you expect. They are not fighting ground troops.
Cooks don't work embassies do they? I would expect chefs in such important positions. I bet their paychecks reflect my theory.
Of course they aren't fighting ground troops... they sent the cooks and supply guys.
They are not combat troops, just to protect.
Now he is sending 300 military advisers.. yawn

Even funnier is how some conservatives turned against further involvement when there was a change in the White House. Minnesotan Vin Weber is especially noted for this and folks here in Gopherland let him and his pals know about it all the time.
That's a great point. Plus, if you were against the war you were automatically branded a Liberal.
