Thanks to GW Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and company, we will always have to be involved in Iraq one way or the other.  Just as long as they don't put ground forces back.   The U.S. destroyed Iraq and we should make sure their people who are being targeted are safe, but without soldiers on the ground.

Going back to what we had there in the 1990's is OK.


How did those Republicans force this Democratic president to launch air strikes - or do anything else - in Iraq?

No matter what precedent someone else set, one could always just choose to stop the cycle, right?

I'm not saying that we should ignore this humanitarian crisis...but the president has free will and the Bush family isn't forcing him to do anything.

By the way: Bill Clinton also launched air strikes against Iraq and he was left completely off of your list. Why?
