Introducing a report on Monday's NBC Nightly News about Al-Qaeda forces seizing control of the Iraqi city of Fallujah, anchor Brian Williams went out of his way to blame the President George W. Bush for the deteriorating security situation: "U.S. fighting forces are gone from Iraq. But as so many predicted when President Bush chose to go to war there after 9/11, the fighting has started up again." [Listen to the audio]

However, in the report that followed, correspondent Ayman Mohyeldin featured a soundbite of President Obama – not President Bush – celebrating the "historic moment" of an abrupt U.S. troop withdrawal from the country after failing to negotiate a status of forces agreement with the Iraqi government. Mohyeldin noted: "Some warned the U.S. withdrawal left a security vacuum."

By that logic, Woodrow Wilson was responsible for Hitler.

We didn't start two wars.

We retaliated.

Big difference.

We retalliated? Those countries took down the WTC? I think not. The men werent even from those countries. Using that logic, we should have retaliated against Saudi Arabia,

Saddam was supposed to have WMDs. Did they find them? And if he had any..was he using them? He didnt even have a way to get them here, if he did have them. Bush had a vendetta against him..thats why we went there.

And Afghanistan? What was the purpose of that? And to make it all on the up and up..we create a mantra about getting terrorists and the countries that that harbor them. Heh..maybe we should have been attacking ourselves..there are probably more terrorists here, that pose a real threat to us, since they are on our soil..than worry about those two countries attacking us. And take note..all of this while we stroked Saudi Arabia..ya know, that country were the terrorists were actually from.

So what did we accomplish other than thousands of american mothers losing their sons (and daughters)?
