    Americans died fighting this man's militia. Now he's a kingmaker in an Iraq dominated by Iran. The U.S. spent $1 trillion on this war. What folly. What waste.https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/14/iraq-elections-who-is-moqtada-al-sadr.html …

        Really great to evidently care more about the “waste” from not getting a US stooge than the invasion killing like a million Iraqis. You seem like a very chill and good dude, Ken

        We could have had every vet taken care of, the homeless sheltered, the hungry fed, bridges built( jobs created) etc... But no, let’s keep putting R’s in office so they can continue to dehumanize the majority of Americans.

        Well we got ISIS out of the deal so I’d say that was money well spent.

        What's extra cool is that now Trump wants to start a war with Iran, and most of the Democrats like that idea too.

        It was a war of choice, Ken. There was never a reason to be there. You don't get to act surprised when the people whose country you invade and occupy suddenly turn against you because you helped kill 1 million Iraqi civilians.

        Iraqis don't want brutal rule by foreign powers, whether Iran, the US, Israel or any other, any more than Western peoples do, and btw have no love for Assad either.https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/comment/2018/5/15/is-sadr-poised-to-lift-iraq-out-of-sectarianism …

        It remains to be seen what shape the new Iraqi government will take, but it is likely to be one that both Iran and the U.S. find less amenable to their own interference in Iraqi affairs.http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/iraqs-nationalist-repudiation-of-america-and-iran/ …
