I have spoken to many. Many, many, many.
On Bush's first day, the average Iraqi was ruled by a brutal dictator, who used chemical weaponds against the people he was supposed to be serving. On the day Bush left, Iraq was stable, and had held open, free elctions, where the radical Islamic candidates consistently lost their elections. It took a lot to get there, and one can argue it wasn't worth it. But the nation of Iraq (as a whole) was a better place in 2008 than it was in 2001. If you disagree, I'd be curious to know, based on what you disagree?
Obama inherited a stable Iraq. It's a fact. He chose not to get a SOF agreement, so he pulled everyone out (against the advice of many), and that was a disaster. I don't know anyone who disagrees that Obama's handling of the Middle East, and Iraq in particular, has been a disaster (other than Spence, naturally).
