Editor,

This phrase: "responsibility for their own security" makes smoke come out of my ears every time I see it. Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and their gang of idiotic neocons killed untold tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians and destroyed the nation of Iraq under ginned up, entirely false pretenses.

OK, fine, monsters such as these do things like that. But their very concept of war fighting was entirely devoid of planning for political reconstruction. Rumsfeld in particular arrogantly hitched his star to as many bombs as he could drop and not one tenth of 1% of the American boots on the ground that would have been necessary to secure the country.

So the necons destroyed Iraq, failed to secure it, and the unrelenting line jammed down an observer's throat is that Iraqis need to take "responsibility for their own security."

More Through-the-Looking-Glass nonsense from the bloviating enablers of arguably the most evil exercise Washington has engaged in during our lifetime.
