Bush was right

A prophetic warning from then-President George W. Bush before he left office about what would happen if the U.S. withdrew troops from Iraq too soon is getting new attention in light of the Islamic State’s gains, as each of his predictions appears to be coming true.
Bush made the remarks in the White House briefing room on July 12, 2007, as he argued against those who sought an immediate troop withdrawal.
“To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States,” Bush cautioned.
He then ticked off a string of predictions about what would happen if the U.S. left too early.
“It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to Al Qaeda.
“It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale.
“It would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan.
“It would mean we’d be increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.”

Teeheehee
Ignorance is all I see written. You can not give the man any credit even when due.
The Mission Accomplished was accurate, it was to take out Saddam which is what happened and that should have been celebrated that a horrible dictator who used WMD's on his own people was taken down.
The horror of horrors...did more Americans not die in WWI and WWII and Korea and Vietnam? Not trying to down play the deaths on the war on terror but more died in these other wars then Iraq.

Gee, where was the prophetic talent and prediction before he led us into that horror of horrors.
Mike makes a point.
It's hard to take Bush's accuracy as anything more than happenstance.
