Bush tried to justify his bone-headed Iraq invasion by claiming the presence of WMD’s, which were nonexistent at the time, and then later changed his rationale to the equally bone-headed “Bush Doctrine” which has long since been relegated to the ash-heap of history.
Bush initially did the right thing by invading Afghanistan and going after the Taliban and bin Laden, but somewhere along the line he did his Bush thing, equivocating on his commitments. In this case, adventurism kicked in and Bush took his eye off the ball.
President Bush is not the only person who believed there were WMD in Iraq. Let’s not rewrite history. Also, Barack Hussein is the one who surrendered Iraq.
I never thought I'd live to see the day that FReepers cheer Code Pink talking points.
Actually, it is the Authorization For the Use of Force in Iraq that justifies the invasion. Iraq was in violation of the cease fire agreement from 1991.
