Brian Schoeneman on the Iraq War "Success" here on FFU

in 2011, Brian Schoememan wrote here on FFXU; "Iraq did result in one major success – there is now a viable democracy in the heart of the middle east that does not support terror and is a US ally. Sounds like a victory to me."

Brian, actions have consequences. Claiming a victory, prematurely is the act of a political hack.

Brian is rather more full of himself than he has any right to be. Iraq was a disaster form the get-go. And all of it for no reason at all. A total mess made by a bunch who specialized in it.

And if the Obamalites had just provided the support we promised to the new Iraqi government, then we would not have snatched defeat from hard-fought victories. Care to recite the Obama Doctrine again? Or will you just press a reset button?

(Not that I expect you to actually state a plausible Obama Doctrine - you will likely reply by bashing Bush et al)

"We knew this day would come. We've known it for some time. But still there is something profound about the end of a war that has lasted so long," said Obama. "It's harder to end a war than begin one. Everything that American troops have done in Iraq - all the fighting, all the dying, the bleeding and the building and the training and the partnering, all of it has landed to this moment of success."

I just did.

It wasn't just a speech to make the troops feel good. It was a bookend to his earlier speech in 2009 when he announced plans for withdrawl:

“Today, I can announce that our review is complete, and that the United States will pursue a new strategy to end the war in Iraq through a transition to full Iraqi responsibility,” said Obama. “This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant. To achieve that goal, we will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe-haven to terrorists.”

What office is he seeking?

Obama campaigned specifically on pulling the US out of the quagmire of Iraq. His meetings with Maliki in July 2008 are what led Bushie to do a 180-degree spin and climb on the end-it-now bandwagon. With the US and global economies in tatters (also thanks to Bush), Obama still managed to arrange and carry out the troop withdrawals he had promised, though as also promised, many units were sent back to Afghanistan in an effort to repair the damage Bush's abandonment of that victory had done. At the end of the day, Iraq was, is, and always will be a Bushie/PNAC/neocon cluster-fuck. There is no way to remove the stain.

Imagine Saddam (or one of his delightful sons) still in power and responding to an Iraqi "Arab Spring", an exclusively Sunni Arab affair. Two things would have happened: the Sunni dictator would have have murdered tens of thousands of Iraqi Shiites in typical strongman fashion (again), or Iraq would have blown apart in a Shiite uprising causing much of the chaos we see today.

Either way, Bush would be universally blamed for not removing Saddam in 2003. You can almost hear Obama bitching and moaning. It wasn't just WMDs, folks.

Politicians give speeches. It's all spin. Have you somehow not grasped that yet? Are you still thinking we found "Peace with Honor" in Vietnam?

The completely unjustified invasion of Iraq was a disaster by all counts. It will never be seen as anything else. The names of those who lied us into it will never be cleared.

Many more Iraqis died at the hands of George W Bush than of Saddam Hussein.

Yes, it was. Until that worthless excuse started to fall apart. Then they started to invent new reasons that fell apart just as quickly. Bush-43 wanted to punish Saddam Hussein for the plot to kill Bush-41, the man who might taken Saddam out in 1991 but who instead turned tail and left tens of thousands of Kurds and Shia to be mowed down by Baathist forces.

Merely highlighting your childishness. Speeches are window dressing. The policy was to get out. It was a pointless mission to begin with. Hopelessly botched at every turn, there was no victory left to be won. A safe and orderly withdrawal of US troops with chirps of encouragement to our Vietnamese...er, Iraqi partners was the only sensible path. Bush refused to accept that. Until his days were done. It was left to Obama to put an actual end to the PNAC madness.

Because people who live here read the site, and every single politician I know and/or their staffs do. Within 10 minutes of my posting in the Comstock thread, I was getting complaint tweets on Twitter from the Executive Director of the Fairfax Democrats.

No, you are a political hack who refuses to answer a simple question;

Was what Scooter Libby did, in leaking Plame's job at the CIA, in the best interest of the country, or, was it a political dirty trick that contributed in costing 4,5000 lives and a trillion dollars?

What Libby did didn't matter because her identity had already been leaked by Richard Armitage. Libby went to jail for lying about what happened and obstructing justice, not leaking her identity. And the leak had no impact on the war.

What's really a democracy anyways. You have tyranny of the majority. The Shia have 60% of the population. They control the government.

What do you have in the US? You essentially have a one-party system where the same interests bankroll the two political parties. The money gets the desired candidate into office. Once in office, they respond to the needs of those who financed their election.

Are you saying Scooter Libby was not involved in the leaking process from the get go? If you are, you have a comprehension problem.

No impact on the war? Scooter and his boss had a lot of impact on starting the war. When they got caught in a lie by Joe Wilson, they went after him and his wife, and then tried to cover it up. The leak was designed to hurt someone who got in the way of the pending war.

You'll need to back up and provide some background before just dropping things like this on them. 99% of them have no clue who Armitage is or how he was involved. That part of the story didn't make it through their bubble.

What I said was that Plame was already outed by Richard Armitage to Bob Novak and Bob Woodward before Libby talked to Miller. Nobody was charged with outing Plame, Libby was charged with perjury and obstruction of justice. I'm saying that if you want to blame Libby for the leak, that is incorrect.

Whether Saddam was trying to get yellowcake uranium from Nigeria or not, the war was going to happen. This issue was never anything more than a sideshow, just like this argument is a sideshow to the 10th district Congressional race. Nobody except Plame and Wilson care about this issue anymore.

So, you are admitting the War was going to happen no matter what, and yellowcake, tubing, missile silos, 15 minute strike capabilities, mobile chemical labs, meetings in Prague, and Saddam and Osama's friendship were just "sideshows" fabricated to justify the war?

Thank you for clearing this up.

This issue was never anything more than a

Besides a woman losing her job, a Special Prosecutor, a jury trial, and a conviction? Can we also count the serious disruption in a CIA covert op?

And you know this how? By watching Fox News? 4,500 American dead, and you are saying nobody cares, and we should ignore the history of the war.

Do you honestly think that one article by Joe Wilson in the New York Times was going to trump every other argument for the war or reduce the American publics support for it at the time? Especially when it was published four moths after the war started and two+ months after combat operations ended?

Of course not.

She didn't lose her job. The special prosecutor brought no charges on Plame's actual outing, and the conviction was for perjury and obstruction as I have noted a couple of times now. And I have seen no evidence of any CIA operations disrupted because of this. Plame wasn't in the clandestine service at the time she was outed.

Because I talk to people. No matter how many times you try to create some tenuous link to the war here, it won't work.

I'm sorry I make you sick. Hopefully that's something Obamacare covers for you.

Yes, not to trivialize the rest of it, but the real cost in the incident was the loss of Brewster Jennings.

There was no "disruption" of any covert op with Plame being outted.

Unlike when names and pictures were revealed during the civil prosecutions of terrorists, or by those on the left who intentionally were targeting and publishing the names and pictures of agents, or by the current administration in the case of the station chief in Afghanistan recently. Where's the outrage?

Which was Plame's fault for listing Brewster Jennings as her employer on a $1,000 donation to Al Gore in 2000 that was reported by law to the FEC.

Your ignorance is showing, Brian. There WERE no actual arguments for the war. They were all fabricated. Just as transparently as the yellow-cake claim. Ginned up popular hysteria is hardly a defensible basis for policy.

The story branded the administration as wanton liars. Which of course is exactly what they were. They lied about everything. Lying was how they got things done. Very little has changed on the right wing in that regard.

There were plenty of arguments for the war. So we fabricated every one of Saddam's violations of UN Security Council resolutions?

You guys are loony. You can disagree with the war, but you don't have to lie about it to make your point. You're engaging in the same conduct you're criticizing when you do that.

Neither I nor they are duped and deluded, and that's why they're going to elect Barbara Comstock to Congress in November.

You DO know how intelligence works, right? It's plain enough that you have very little of it yourself, but you should know that when smart people are pretending to be something, they try to keep to the story that's been prepared. Brewster Jennings was a very successful and valuable front. It was Plame's cover. There was no damage until Plame herself was outed. At that point, Brewster Jennings was blown and it simply disappeared. The whole place vanished in a matter of days. And a lot of work had to be done to bring other Brewster Jennings people around the world back in from the cold before scores could be settled with them.

I guess none of the people you talk to told you about any of this. You should stop pretending that you and your little clique cover things from one horizon to the other, when you are actually all just a bunch of hopelessly under-informed provincials.

Get real. Plame's cover already was busted long before. Which is why she was brought back to DC. The only people who didn't know what Brewster Jennings was were the general public those outside of the intelligence communities on all sides. Most of them could have figured it out easily if they'd taken more than a passing look. Wilson's role was obvious just based on his position and activities.

No lies here from anyone but you, Brian. There was no justification for the invasion. All of it was hoaxed. Period. You were duped and can't face up to it.

> Strap the tin foil on tighter.

That's your best? I'm not surprised. If you could have named an excuse for the war that was not fabricated, you would have. You can't, so you post simple drivel. Same as it ever was with you. Just a worthless puff-ball.

Oh, that's right. It was Aldrich Ames. No, the Turkish guy. Or wait, that dossier left unattended at the Swiss embassy in Havana. Face it, cream-puff, the tarnished right has spent more than a decade now trying to invent some plausible cover and excusification for their wanton betrayals of trust and citizenship in this matter, many of those efforts simply flying in the face of direct and on-the-record declarations by the Prosecutor and the CIA stating in no uncertain terms that Plame was in fact under cover and that the disclosure of her identity damaged all of Ms. Plame, the Agency, and various of the Agency's operations. These reactionary stink piles of self-serving dismissal were disgraceful at the time and continue to be so today.

She was in the post-marriage process of converting from non-official to official cover. That process was of course completely derailed by vindictive criminality and abuse of power committed by a pack of serial liars and sad sack incompetent partisans.

Like many others still unexposed by government officials personally and professionally pledged to their protection, Brewster Jennings was a successful CIA front operation of long standing, and it still was when Plame was outed.

Sure. That's because intelligence agencies are just a bunch of simpletons and the real smart guys are you and your smarmy kinfolk. Cover is as deep as it needs to be. That can range from the proverbial "cultural attaché" to UN "weapons inspector" to something more like the witness protection program. All of this of course goes on in the real world, not in the world of dime-store spy novels.

Wilson's role in what? With his history in the region, he was asked by the CIA to do an outside investigation of the situation in Niger. Their own internal specialists had suggested that the "sixteen words" were tied to forgery-based nonsense. President Bush had been informed of that assessment prior to a foreign policy speech in Cincinnati in October 2002. He removed the words from that address, only to put them back into the State of the Union the following January as he continued to lie and pimp for a cause of war that was unjustifiable on the actual facts.

Actually, it was Bush who failed to get the continued armed presence agreement from Malaki, not Obama, but nice try.

In fact Cheney went onto all the sunday shows talking about how it was a success that we no longer were needed there prior to them leaving office.

BTW, who the fuck cares. Its Iraq. We shouldnt have been there to start with, we still shouldn't be, but to blame Obama for what was agreed to under Bush and Cheney, is a new low for the GOP. Desperate much?

Using your real name, given your elevated political status, is nothing more than "gosh, what I have to say is important and I'm always right, so people should listen to me."

Can you not see this? What upside is there to posting here when it can be used against you?

Most of the time I post here I get told I don't have any kind of status, so this is kind of funny.

The reason I post here is the same reason most people do - it gives me a chance to interact with folks I normally wouldn't get the chance to interact with. I'm not worried about what I say being used against me, which is why I post under my real name.

And I make mistakes, just like anybody else.

Like this one:

in 2011, Brian Schoememan wrote here on FFXU; "Iraq did result in one major success – there is now a viable democracy in the heart of the middle east that does not support terror and is a US ally. Sounds like a victory to me."

Just admit you were, and are still, wrong or join the GOP line of useless unaccountable liars.

I mean, only the FUCKING REAL FACTS PROVE YOU WERE WRONG. I would guess ignoring reality is just a character trait of the GOP.

I wasn't wrong when I made the statement. Things have changed since 2011. I hope that the ISIS issue is resolved and Iraq's democracy survives - I think that's what everyone wants to see happen.

Not exactly sure why anybody would be gloating about Iraq as a failed state.

No, Brian. Recently uncovered documents show clearly the reason Bush/Cheney went to war in Iraq was to get control of their under-utilized oil reserves. Cheney's secret "energy summit" in early 2001 actually carved out the Iraqi oil fields for the big oil companies. Getting rid of Saddam would lift the oil restrictions and allow Iraqi oil to flow freely.

But these recently uncovered documents show really nothing new.

The British newspapers reported on May 1, 2005, the "Downey Street Memo." The memo recorded the head of the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) as expressing the view following his recent visit to Washington that "[George W.] Bush wanted to remove Saddam Hussein, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." Hence, we had to fabricate WMD's and terrorism as the reasons for going to war. Te Downing Street memo should have been your first clue as to the real reason for going to war, and what the fake reason really was. You Brian, ignored it.

Did you not see the documentary "Why We Did it." Of course you didn't. It showed interviews from people in the CIA, and in the George W. Bush administration clearly citing the reasons for war and how the facts were manipulated so we could justify war. It showed a clear time line from the secret "Energy Summit" to the invasion itself on how under-utilized oil reserves were he driving force in the Bush administration, not WMD's. You ignored that report.

Actually, when the invasion started, The Washington Post reported the evidence of WMD's was "flimsy." You ignored that report as well, even though it turned out to be absolutely true. Oh, but that is just the liberal media, right, Brian?

The books "Bushwhacked" and The Greatest War ever Sold" also told of oil being the driving force for war. You didn't read those, either, did you?

Until you, Brian, get out of the "Conservative" bubble, you will have no respect in my view. You here cited BS talking points here in 2011, and you should have known better. To come here now and try to defend your BS, is unconscionable.

Go watch Why We Did it" and you can then make an informed opinion.
