2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumLook people, enough DIVISIVE CRAP about the Iraq intervention
Sometimes people make mistakes. Sometimes they are large mistakes, while others are small mistakes. But they are all mistakes. Sometimes you make mistakes, and sometimes others make mistakes. For example, today I sent for a car and my assistant forgot to tell the service that it was for a dinner party tonight, and the car was hours early. It was a mistake.
Now suppose that the car, while driving at the wrong time of day, hit a gasoline truck that exploded then rolled into a giant liquid natural gas storage tank situated next to a nuclear power plant, located just yards from a nuclear weapons storage facility. If that happened in several cities, there could be as many casualities as there were in that Iraq incident. Would you not vote for my assistant for President just for that little oopsie?
Spare me. You'd only blame my assistant if she was a woman. Interesting how that works.

(27,247 posts)There were plenty of shenanigans going in Florida by Bush-backers, including the final vote count being made by Bush's campaign co-chair, before all the votes were counted.

(3,190 posts)A very big oopsie, but still just an oopsie.
It's only human to make a mistake. I mean who could have foreseen:
- we wouldn't be greeted as liberators
- that there would be an insurgency
- that no WMD would be found
- that Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 911, that he wasn't actually aiding terrorists
- that 100s of thousands would die, be wounded and maimed for life including our own
- that $trillions would be spent, cash sent in palettes to private contractors with little to no oversight
- that all those oil profits would actually find there way into big oil company coffers rather than pay for the war
- that the entire region would be destabilized, including Syria
- that it would lead to the creation of ISIS
- be considered the worst foreign policy blunder in U.S. History
I mean, come on...who could have known?

(27,787 posts)... the distinct possibility that, sadly ... Manny might be suffering from a form of Hillary induced dementia that causes him to post the same basic OP over and over and over, with minor variations on the extent to which he attacks other Democrats.
Its possible that he's sitting there, modifying the same OP some, then hitting the START A DISCUSSION button ... posting it ... then making some more edits, and then hitting the START A DISCUSSION button again ... posting it ... then making some more edits, and then hitting the START A DISCUSSION button again ... and posting it again.
But hey ... maybe if he sees a few of his OPs at the top, all together, he'll realize what's happening.
