The fact that none of those you listed were Commander-in-Chief in 2003 make your comment silly, and irrelevant.

Well, Iraq is our problem. But unfortunately for us, we canāt fix it.
NOW, you say that.
George Bush ruined the world. He was the worst fucking president ever and left poor President Obama with nothing but one shit sandwich after another to fix.
The world is falling apart, thanks to the policies of George Bush. No wonder he keeps a low profile, other than his painting by numbers.

When did they āpretty much admitā that?

Mr.Comments is nothing but a big blowhard. He sits in judgment of everyone and everything. He called us Californians stupid for voting for Feinstein and Boxer and intimated that New Yorkers laugh at us for being so stupid. Someone reminded him of NewYorkers voting for Afonse DāAmato and their corrupt governor Andrew Cuomo.

In Mr.Comments mind they admitted it because he is a New Yorker and knows all

Bush killed Bin Laden? Perhaps you missed that movie.
And how did Bush fix Iraq? Throwing an entire country into civic chaos and promoting the death of hundreds of thousands of that countries citizens? You have a strange definition of fixing somethingā¦ please stay away from my car.
Itās sarcasm.

Iām going against the grain here and am seeing Joeās points. Particularly:
I support the President trying to get Arab nations trying to fight with us side by side, trying to get European nations. Iām sick and tired of Europeans sitting back and doing nothing, turning the other cheek as Vladimir Putin kicks them in the face time and time again because of money. And in this case, guess what? Iraq? Itās not our problem. This aināt 2003. Itās 2014. Europe, this is your problem, too. Itās the Middle Eastās problem, too. More Muslims are going to be killed by ISIS than westerners.
We DO need the other Nationās engagement here if we want to be more successful with less risk of our US forces. Unfortunately, I wish Joe had realized this before we got mired in the Iraq War.
Itās certainly a complicated issue but I like how Pres. Obama is being very careful and gathering a coalition instead of jumping in head first, just to give the DO SOMETHINGers something else to mindlessly tweet about.

Well, this is what happens when our nation prosecutes a policy of spreading democracy and conducting āregime changeā based on our election cycles. We now have a region destabilized to the point of having few fully functioning states, open doors to extremist groups, and the kind of social spiral reminiscent of the French Reign of Terror.
We didnāt break this (region) how? And whatever we do is sure to ensure it gets worse before it gets better. Hell, weāre still trying to deconstruct the cycle of racism and violence 50 years after the Civil Rights Act right here in the good ole US of A.
Yeah it is. Itās a shitty problem, itās a problem weād rather ignore, but itās our problem nonetheless.
Wishing it wasnāt so wonāt make it go away.
Where were the voices against this Iraq fiasco when we needed them. Joe certainly was certainly silent.

Run, Scarry, run!
Come on, Repubs! Letās have some JOEmentum!

As others have observed:
You break it, you bought it!
Guess what, Joe. Thanks to your demi-God Georgie IIā¦we broke it. So now we own it. Donāt blame Europe. Yes, they have an interest in seeing peace throughout the world, but it wasnāt their screw-up and it wasnāt their lies. This one sits fairly in the lap of George W Bush, the President who never made a mistake (his words). Were you screaming ādonāt do itā when he was pounding the drums of war?
In my view, we broke it, and we canāt afford to pay for it, not in lives nor treasure.
There is a world of difference between being accountable for creating a problem and being able to remedy it.
