So the liberal trump is still calling President Bush a liar.
Maybe he should let it go and instead focus these same attacks on hillary who voted to go to war in 2003. As co president she also said many times that saddam had wmd. She used it as the reason for attacking Iraq in 1998.
he’s just another liberal idiot fooling a bunch of idiot “conservatives” they’ll get what they deserve....VERY SAD!
Defending a Bush at this point in history means you are not being honest or you weren't paying attention.
Done carrying any water for that family that has caused so much destruction.
You know what George H. Bush nickname was/is "give half" well that family is one that one does half the job. Leaves the rest of U.S with a project gone bad.
Call him him a liar call him worse - nobody cares to defend these blue blooded loosers anymore.
There is little doubt that folks within the Bush Administration knew they were trumping up intelligence to support the argument. They presented evidence they knew to be unreliable as fact... They are on the record admitting as much. Does that mean Bush personally knew? Debatable, but there is no doubt that some folks in the administration knew they were not being completely honest.
The NEOCONs that Bush surrounded himself with lead this nation down a bad path.
If the scientists said they lied to Saddam who thought he was building a bomb (so that’s where they got the Iron Man in the cave idea) then why wouldn’t the CIA?
I don’t think GWB lied about WMD Intel. I do believe that the decision to topple Sadam with military force had been made, and the WMD justification was just there.
In the sense that WMD was a main driving force when deciding to do it... that might be a stretcher if not an outright lie.
Tactically, if you are a non GOPe candidate running as a Republican and hoping to pick up votes that would normally go to the Dem candidate, bashing GWB and by extension the Bush dynasty makes sense.
I don’t know if it’s a winning gambit, but it does look like a move that’s aimed at positioning for the general, and it puts his GOP opponents in the position of having to defend years of unpopular, and seemingly unsuccessful war.
Larry Elder is right in that fourteen years ago the decision to pull the trigger on Iraq was popular and widely supported, but I’m not at all sure that voters will remember that moment in time alone, and not the years of grinding low level conflict in Iraq that is now associated with the rise of Isis.
Exactly
