Iraq War: Follow Up
I have recently written about the Iraq war (here and here). I’m not sure how the Bush administration is going to spin this, but I’m sure that they are going to try to get the American people to believe that the “surge” has worked.
I would argue that we have spent a ton of money and did not get what we had hoped for. We were promised that the “surge” would allow the Iraqis to make an oil sharing agreement. That really hasn’t happened. We were also promised that the “surge” would allow Iraqis the necessary peace for them to figure out how to share power. There was a hint of a power sharing agreement several months ago, but it broke down almost before it was announced.
So, my question to my Republican friends who continue to support the Bush Administration in spite of popular opinion: Where is our return on our trillion dollar investment? (Psst… Don’t tell me that it is security because those that caused 9/11 are still out there.)
