Links to back up we were tired? I think your assertion is false.
Do you really not think there was an Iraqi uprising in 1991? It's easy to find on google. Similar situation to Libya, except in Iraq's case it was caused by GHWB telling the Iraqi people the rise up, implying that the Americans would help them. Then we sat in Kuwait and watched them get slaughtered, Bay of Pigs style.
As Saddam was forced sign a humiliating peace treaty AFTER DESERT STORM coalition of the willing war, George H. Bush got cold feet and allowed Saddam a free hand in Iraq because he did not want to engage in nation building in Iraq.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Apocalypse imminent, LL and I have agreed on something.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I dont disagree with any of that. But how does that have to do with his statement that "We got tired and come back 10 years later to help them and being surprised that they all didnt last 10 years"
I dont see either of you to pushing some links in my direction to prove this point. You can both go fuck yourselves.
We went back to iraq because of false claims that they had weapons of mass destruction. NOT because we told them we would return to help in their "civil war" from 10 years earlier.
And you call me stupid?

Yet you call yourself smart while still admitting GWB sold a war on Iraq based on total lies.
And then to add injury to insult you believed Dumsfeld that we could nation build in Iraq with 1/4 of the troops required to have a successful military occupation.
Any military on earth knew it was a sure preconception for failure, including our own. Yet when General Senseki told Rumsfeld that he was fired for his honesty.
You call yourself smart JSTOrm when you are a total non thinking fool.
As you even dis Nebor who has seen the clusterfucks up close and personal as he lays his life on the line to support what I think is foolishness.
While you stay at home and eat propaganda like potato chips and facts go from ear to ear without impacting a functioning brain in between.

I'm pretty sure he was just backing up the stuff about the uprising that Saddam put down in 1991.
As the ink is barely dry on the announcement that the US military occupation of Iraq is over,
and now it very much looks like Iraqi democracy is in big danger of collapse.
Its not easy to find on google as Nebor asserted, but after some searching, on google,
you might try, http://www.representativepress.org/evenafter.htm for a start. Better google searchers may be able to find more definitive history posts, and I will also keep trying.
But in point of fact Nebor is 100% historically correct and you are 100% wrong. GHB and even Dick Cheney at the time gave Saddam a total free hand to butcher all internal dissent in Iraq after Gulf War 1 ended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------what no apology for your little misguided bitch fest?
At least when I'm wrong I'm man enough to admit it.
