In reply to the discussion: Erin Burnett CALLS OUT Paul Bremer After HE TRIES TO BLAME Obama Administration For Debacle In Iraq [View all]AllTooEasy

W. fucked up! He should have left Iraq alone. Nancy Pelosi thoroughly detailed how well Saddam was contained by the international community prior to the invasion, so I won't rehash that. After W. decided to go stupid and invade, I believe that he should have divided Iraq into 3 ethnic(Kurd, Shiite, and Sunni) territories, instead of repeating Churchill's original mistake of drawing unstable international borders around 3 separate and sometimes hostile ethic groups. Instead, W compounded stupidity with more stupidity. Now, the country is violently crumbling into...you guessed it...3 separate and sometimes hostile ethnic groups.
BTW, what does Communism have to do with any of this?
I watch a lot of MSNBC. I saw plenty of Liberal commentators claim that US troop presence was the main barrier to peace in Iraq. Obviously, they were wrong. The troops are gone, and everything is and is getting worse. That's all I'm saying on that point. I don't recommend US ground troops in Iraq. The Iraqi gov't wanted sovereignty, they got it...and the responsibility that comes with it that they obviously are too incompetent to handle.

I haven't liked her since Mark left, since I think he helped her show a spark of humanity.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Erin Burnett call out an establishment figure in broad daylight.
