And it's sad how many in our highest levels of government can't even use wikipedia to understand that this battle has been going on forever.
When asked if Iraqis were going to greet us as liberators, he answered, “Absolutely.” (John McCain) said, “Post-Saddam Hussein Iraq is going to be paid for by the Iraqis” with their oil wealth (the war ended up costing the American taxpayer upwards of $2 trillion). And my favorite: “There is not a history of clashes that are violent between Sunnis and Shias, so I think they can probably get along.”
