Why is the media committed to the lie that Bush went it ‘alone’ in Iraq?

“The United Nations, too, declined to sanction the campaign to change the regime in Iraq.”

We were in Irag because of the UN.

The left eventually came up with a pejorative to describe the countries that joined the USA to oust Saddam:

THE COALITION OF THE W BILLING

Because he’s a Republican....................

[Darksheare]

To protect and promote a false narrative that gives their political buddies power.
For the same reason they keep sticking to the lie that there were no WMDs in Iraq, that they later reported were found by ISIS...

As Mark Steyn just pointed out on Rush’s show, Obama has no friends among our European allies. Bush was friends with Blair, Merkel, the French guy (my mind is slipping!), the Australian head and, infamously now, Putin. Who is Obama friendly with? No one. He’s incapable of international friendship because, again, as Steyn pointed out, he’s bored by them.

Is he still referring to them as ISIL? I thought I heard him say “ISIS” today.

'We were in Irag because of the UN.'

Thus, part of the problem.

[what's up]

As long as they lie long enough and hard enough, they can get the public to believe ANYTHING.

A sexual serial pervert now has a high popularity rating and is commanding hundreds of thousands a speech along with his wife and daughter.

Just about everyone has bought into the myth that climate change is the greatest evil of our time.

We have a anti American who made it his mission in life to destroy the military as Sec of State.

All accomplishments based on LIES.

Give him a break. It's hard enough for him to not use the words "my friends" when referring to them.

[originalbuckeye]

‘We can continue to shrink ISILs sphere of influence,etc’

He is good at manipulation with his words. WHERE have we ‘shrunk’ anything having to do with ISIS??

[TexasCajun]

I remember a certain pedophile UN inspector that was most likely being blackmailed.

If you tell a lie enough times, it becomes fact in the minds of people eventually. For example, Judge Napolitano, someone who is considered more sympathetic to conservatives,on the radio today repeated the lie that Reagan armed Saddam Hussein with WMD. There is absolutely no truth to the statement, it would even be false if he said we armed Saddam Hussein with conventional weapons. Iraq at the time was armed by the Soviet Union, France, and South Africa, but the lie that it was the US is repeated so often that it becomes gospel to the uninformed. I guess since the vast majority of people do not read, it is easy to make a lie fact.

The families of a lot of dead British servicemen would have something to say about that.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I assume that headline question is rhetorical

Even now it is difficult to get accurate representations of either of the phases of the Gulf War in the media. There were, according to THIS ARTICLE, 33 nations directly involved in the military activity in the first Gulf War, according to THIS ARTICLE, six directly participating in the invasion in the second Gulf War and another 33 participating in activities thereafter, for a total of 39.

There are, of course, aspects to "support" other than direct military participation, including economic sanctions, medical relief, etc.

What indicates a severe dereliction of duty on the part of the 0bama administration is not that we don't have a military coalition lined up after six months of ISIS military activity, but that it appears only just now to have dawned on the administration, including 0bama and his Secretary of State, that any sort of collective response is anything more but a good idea to be explored later.

Right on, Poland sent in 20 troops to fight with our 600 thousand.

That's a coalition.

RE: Who is Obama friendly with?

Hugo Chavez just died. Is Nicolas Maduro his friend?

More interesting is how Bush is the only thing winning the war on terror now.

many people miss that Bush’s multilateralism had such profound positive effects that it moved other national politics to the right.

Stephen Harper in Canada is one profound example of this and he is a staunch ally of Israel and opponent of terrorism. Several electorates moved to the right as Bush finished his second term.

Even the carrier George Bush [lsenior] is the principal launching point for strikes in Iraq now.

The vacuous logic of Obama and Hillary is being revealed. The RESET for Russia and the de-enemizing terrorists of Jarret/ Obama is seen for the naked incitement to aggression that it is.

Bush won and is still winning. The fact that he is still blamed proves that Bush is now serving a fourth term in the hearts and minds of patriots. All across the world, people can see plainly the bland anti-Americanism of our current leadership. They are committed to undermining American exceptionalism wherever possible.
