It bears repeating (and thank you, Fox News, “The Kelly File”):

[July 12, 2007, as (then-President George W. Bush) argued against those who sought an immediate troop withdrawal:

“To begin withdrawing before our commanders tell us we are ready would be dangerous for Iraq, for the region and for the United States,” Bush cautioned.

He then ticked off…predictions about what would happen if the U.S. left too early.

“It would mean surrendering the future of Iraq to Al Qaeda.

“It would mean that we’d be risking mass killings on a horrific scale.

“It would mean we allow the terrorists to establish a safe haven in Iraq to replace the one they lost in Afghanistan.  

“It would mean we’d be increasing the probability that American troops would have to return at some later date to confront an enemy that is even more dangerous.”]

How precise is that? The ‘dumb cowboy’ sure knew how to choose the right advisors.

Fast forward to the choices of today’s brilliant ‘smartest-guy-in-the-room’.

He surrendered Iraq to al-Qaeda; he enabled the mass killings; he gave terrorists safe haven…and American troops have to return, confronting a more dangerous enemy.

Who’s the ‘idiot’ now?
