The Bush Domino Effect

The Bush Domino Effect is something that occurred BECAUSE of the Iraq invasion and the instability it cased in Iraq and the region.
 
America entered the Vietnam war to stop 'communism' from spreading in south east Asia. The thinking was that as each country fell the spread of Communism would spread and in fact accelerate. This was not the case.
 
In Iraq Bush decided to invade to spread Democracy. Forget the issues of WMD's, 9/11, working with Al qaida and regime change. All proved to be red herrings for Bush's 'real' goal.
 
Apparently the military WAS doing their job and doing it well. The Mission of over throwing Saddam and turning Iraq back over to the Iraqis people was succeeding UNTIL May of 2003. This was when the White House began the mission drift.
 
There were two plans for Iraq, militarily. One was for the overthrow of Iraq, and the other was for the occupation of Iraq.
 
For the overthrow of Saddam it was generally agreed this could be done with 100,000 to 150,000 troops. The Military would IMMEDIATELY turn power over to the Iraq military and police and allow the Iraqis people to begin governing themselves. The crucial part was employing the Military and police to maintain control and security.
 
the second plan was for the continued occupation of Iraq. The consensus was for 500,000 troops to do this. However no one thought that occupying Iraq was a good idea.
 
So the initial plan was simply to overthrow Saddam and then leave a stabilized Iraq in Iraqis hands immediately. The time table for this was months, not years.
 
Bush decided to change the plan to one of occupation. He did this without two key components. The Iraqis army and police and the 500,000 troops.
 
The result is not only the lost of the victory of the military, but also the potential of the lost of the entire region to pro Iranian Shia control. A domino effect instigated by Bush and his unprovoked war of aggression in Iraq.
 
Bush in his arrogance will have personally been responsible for making the world a more dangerous place for Americans and America.
 
Bin Laden was a singular terror threat. He saw his greatest moment with 9/11 and was a hunted man who should have been dead in 2002 the latest.
 
Bush in his hubris has created bin laden's wet dream. A region with oil that is now very strongly anti-American with the potential of having nukes through Iran.
 
Iraq was the threat that never existed, and Iran is becoming the reality of the threat war that the American people no longer have the will to fight because then no longer trust this administration.
 
The result will be that the entire region will begin falling to the Shia/Iranian NOT the Sunni/Al qaida threat that never was.
 
This is the Bush Domino Effect.
This is the Bush Legacy.
 
I hope this isn't a downer for the 25 year old partying Bush twins.
 
If people only knew the facts, they would not be fighting for the 'RIGHT' to be screwed over.
