@michaelwhitney It was okay to beat up Bush for the Wall Street crash, but not for crashing the entire Middle East.
@ChanceBGardener Did not going to Baghdad kill 1M Iraqis, waste $2T, and destabilize entire region? @daveweigel @michaelwhitney

@emptywheel@daveweigel@michaelwhitney to answer your question: maybe! Counterfactuals are tough -
@ChanceBGardener I don't thing you have a very good understanding of what "counterfactual" means.@daveweigel@michaelwhitney -
@emptywheel@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney We did go to Baghdad in 1991? -
@tedfrank Oops. You're confused too! I think your problem is basic grammar.@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney -
@emptywheel@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney Yours is basic logic. If we go to Baghdad in 1991, maybe Iraq stable in 2003? -
@tedfrank Um. Iraq WAS stable in 2003. Wow.@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney -
@emptywheel@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney That's ignorant of what Hussein family was doing to Iraqis, to say the least. -
@tedfrank On your logic we should invade Saudi Arabia tomorrow.@ChanceBGardener@daveweigel@michaelwhitney - 4 more replies

@emptywheel@daveweigel@michaelwhitney in a continuing low grade war for a dozen years, and led to '03 invasion -
@ChanceBGardener No. NOTHING led to '03 invasion except really stupid warmongering. No REASON for war.@daveweigel@michaelwhitney
