for too long the war in iraq has been (mis)managed by people without any accountability.
tens of billions of dollars have been wasted by defense contractors in iraq.
u.s soldiers and allies have been put needlessly in harms way by inept republican hacks.
and so on and so on.
and now the incoming democrats plan on launching investigations to figure out
what went wrong, why, and who benefited financially from cronyism.
good for them.
people in government should never be above accountability, whether they’re republican or democrat.
the republicans have operated in a vacuum of inaccountability for too long, and the country and the world have suffered as a result.
these investigations might piss off the republicans who are guilty of mismanagement, deceit, and corruption, but that’s good, as people who are guilty of mismanagement, deceit, and corruption deserve to be held accountable for their actions.
