The "WMD debacle" as you put it drained trillions of dollars from the US economy and has contributed to the major failing and inability of the United States to recover from the GFC. So trivialising the Iraq war as a "WMD debacle" is very disingenuous and belies the enormous, crushing scope of the problem.
America's now limited resources are not focussed on Iran. When the situation improves to the point where America no longer has 10% unemployment (i.e. the economy picks up), then he'll have the luxury of sitting down and attempting to solve the problem of Iran being cunts PROPERLY, rather than half-assing it while attempting to juggle everything else and fucking it up.
10% unemployment for a couple more years vs Nuclear winter. The choice is his.
Also, the Obamacare's stimulus package dwarfs the price tag of war in comparison. The US has money. Obama is mismanaging it, in issues that have nothing to do with Bush.
1) They got all the bailout money back.
2) The infrastructure stimulus already improved unemployment by about 1%
3) The US economy has now experienced growth for two consecutive quarters.
4) Faux News is NOT news.
As opposed to which channel without ideological bias?

You mean that every time I listen to Rupert Murdoch, I'm committing a Faux Pas?
