McCain blames Obama and his national security team for the rout by withdrawing U.S. combat troops from Iraq and calling back the generals he called the successful architects of security in the war-ravaged country.

McCain specifically called for the resignation of Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

“The first thing is get rid of this national security team, which has been a total failure,” he said told reporters ahead of a classified Senate Armed Services briefing on the security situation in Iraq. “[They] called back in people who succeeded in Iraq like General Petraeus, General Mattis, many of the other leaders —General Keane, who’s the architect of the surge. …

“Get rid of his entire national security team, the same ones who said we’re safely out of Iraq,” he added.

No . It has been abundantly clear since well before the war started that there was no valid casus belli (WMDs, etc.) and the CotW was being railroaded by the machinations of a few political leaders. (i.e. Blair and Bush.)

Every attempt at an inquiry since then has ended as a whitewash. I see no reason to suppose things will change now.

I think overall it was to make America "safer". I would say that was also a failure. I'm sure the invasion generated a lot more terrorists than it eliminated. Also, could be argued that it was to make America more powerful/influential in the region. That seems to also be a failure. In fact, the war seems to have empowered Iran, another American rival.

Think that's it in a nutshell.

And no amount of condemnation or even jail time (yeah right!) could ever make up for the suffering and misery their actions have caused. You can only hope that a tiny shred of consciousness remains within our former leaders, and they are haunted at night by scenes of destruction and wailing mothers.

Although, I don't think it's very likely. Bush was a mouthpiece for the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned of so many years before, and after reading a fair amount of the subject I'm convinced that Blair balances on the edge of sanity and is obsessed with his image in history. He genuinely believes (or at least tells himself) that there was a moral case for that war, as wide of the mark as that has since proven to be, and the UK certainly didn't get anything else out from it other than to kill its servicemen and to paint a massive bullseye on the population of the country for any future terrorist strikes.

Hell, even Churchill was all for just throwing our collective hands up in the air and saying "just feth this place!"


In regards to Iraq and the surrounding region now going completely down the crapper, do we think it's time to just drop a dome over the whole area, cut them off from the rest of the actually civilized world and leave them to continue partying like it's still 999AD?

Really?

Inflection is the rise and fall in pitch and the tone changes of the voice.

a. The preparatory command is the command that indicates movement. Pronounce each preparatory command with a rising inflection. The most desirable pitch, when beginning a preparatory command, is near the level of the natural speaking voice. A common fault with beginners is to start the preparatory command in a pitch so high that, after employing a rising inflection for the preparatory command, it is impossible to give the command of execution with clarity or without strain. A good rule to remember is to begin a command near the natural pitch of the voice.
