I'm not here to play Monday night global politics about what should have or could have. I'm simply stating facts. The fact was, Iraq was stable during the end of Bush's term. We had basically "won". Liberals and leftists didn't like us being there, and wanted us out at any cost. All top military officials, and nearly everyone on the right, plus most all normal-thinking centrists, knew and warned that if we pulled out and let the Iraqi's fend for themselves, the remnants of Al Qaeda, along with similar-thinking groups would rush in to gain control of the country. Obama and his side were too stupid or ignorant to comprehend this and did it anyway - even publicly advertising the date - which resulted in the Iraq we had for the last 9 years, along with the increased terrorist attacks worldwide and other Mideast troubles ...
And about your petro-dollar remarks, maybe you werent even alive at the time, but back then, almost the whole world was in agreement that Saddam was a madman and wanted to expand his control, and he had WMD's and was working on obtaining even more and greater capability WMD's. The UN tried for over a year to get into Iraq to inspect for such things and Saddam refused to cooperate. He was believed to be a very dangerous man with very bad intentions at the time, and nearly everyone agreed he had to be stopped.
We did not go to war "only for oil".
