Ok,
The first part of your post: What? I'm sorry, I've got a college degree and am not illiterate or 'uninformed' but the only thing which comes to mind when I try to read your post is "Non Sequiter"
I don't claim that the Iraq War wasn't a fuck-up...It was. I would even say that we probably should not have gone to war in Iraq in the first place. However, that does not change the fact that there was nothing illegal about waging a war against the man who tried to kill a sitting president and who was paying 10,000 dollars to the family of every suicide bomber who killed an American.
Likewise for your argument about sitting despots: Just because we decline to give them the boot and offer the people in those countries a chance for self-rule doesn't mean we would be wrong to do so.
I absolutely agree the Military should be 'impeeded' in a political manner. It is, was and continues to be. The Military does not enter into a conflict without being ordered to do so by the (civilian) President with backing and funding by the congress.
Beyond that and some basic oversight you are simply a living room quarterback who seems eager to pick apart every hint of poor action without EVER offering anything in support of all the things that have gone well.
