The fall of post invasion Iraq

[StealthySkeptic]

Hey, Georgie my boy, how ya doing?



Listen, buddy, can I ask ya a really important question? Please, be honest.

Do you remember when you got all of our allies to band together, save the Iraqis from Saddam Hussein, and bring them democracy while they threw roses and oil at us...



Pictured above: All of our allies colored in blue. Good thing we didn't forget Poland! Who wants some freedom fries?

...and then went in and hoo-rah'd and MURICA'd and kicked some EYE-RAKI asses and were like...



I'd like to give a special thanks to GAWD for blessing our patriotic cruise missiles.

...then disbanded the perfectly usable and well organized standing army known as the Republican Guard using Coalition Provisional Authority Order 2 after popping some champagne?



I dunno LOL.

Remember how you then went like "OOPS MAH BAD" and then tried to make a new army from scratch?

Eleven years, nearly five thousand American lives, countless thousands of refugees, and an estimated $1.7 TRILLION in financial costs for the war and $3-6 TRILLION in total costs based on interest rates on the debt incurred by 2053...



Red: Territory controlled by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Pink: Claimed territory of the ISIL.

Was THIS the stable, democratic Iraq you had in mind when you tricked the UN with fabricated evidence of nuclear and biological weapons to give yourself the ability to invade the country?



Thought not.
