File it under, 'Duhhhh, you really think so?'

As the rightwingnuts call for more bombs, troops and money in the MidEast, I think we oughta look at past mistakes(R), before getting more involved with the never-ending religious wars in the quagmire that 'GW and The Dick'(R) created, before they wrecked the US economy, as well. But, to hear FOX/PARP tell it, 'It's all Obama's fault'.

Retired Lt. General Michael Flynn, the former U.S. special forces chief in Iraq and Afghanistan who was the country's highest ranking military intelligence official, says that the George W. Bush administration's Iraq war was a tremendous blunder that helped to create the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or ISIS.
"It was a huge error," Flynn said about the Iraq war in a detailed interview with German newspaper Der Spiegel published Sunday. 
"As brutal as Saddam Hussein was, it was a mistake to just eliminate him," Flynn went on to say. "The same is true for Moammar Gadhafi and for Libya, which is now a failed state. The historic lesson is that it was a strategic failure to go into Iraq. History will not be and should not be kind with that decision."
