...an honorable man...

My a$$. If GW were so honorable he wouldn't be sitting on the sidelines, content in his contempt for Americans, stating succinctly that "I'm retired..." and letting the Puppet and his sycophants run roughshod over the Constitution and those that still believe in it...

Just found an article from late 2003 and at that time Saddam’s old intel guy al Douri, Zarqawis group and Ansar al Islam were becoming a big problem and we were starting to capture foreign fighters, so Gen. Abizaid put in a request for more counterterrorism people to help hunt down these old regime Baathists. The admin decided to divert the ISG from focusing on finding WMD to focusing on hunting these guys and their networks down.

AGREED.

Bush was a willing patsy.

Not to mention, look at the BORDER today.

Whose fault is that?

BUSH BUSH BUSH!

We KNOW a Dem would NEVER close the border - but Patsy Bush SHOULD COULD (WOULD???) have closed the border.

He reminds me of a stale spittoon.

So you think he should be like Carter and shoot off his mouth every chance he gets? What good would it do with the press denigrating him at every turn? Who would listen? Sarah Palin speaks out and what does the press do to her? Van Jones admitted that Dems were/are afraid of Palin and that's why the press convinced the public that she's stupid. Remember the press also labeled Bush stupid.

So tell me, what good would it do for Bush to scream from the rooftops what Obama is doing?

Bush Signs U.S.- Mexico Border Fence Bill - October 26, 2006

"Unfortunately, the United States has not been in complete control of its borders for decades, and therefore, illegal immigration has been on the rise. We have a responsibility to address these challenges, we have a responsibility to enforce our laws, we have a responsibility to secure our borders. We take this responsibility seriously," Bush said.

Democrats Target Border Fence 2/16/2009

“Though there are places where a fence is the most feasible option, we strongly believe the Bush administration’s approach of constructing a fence along much of the Southwest Border was ill-conceived as it was void of any meaningful input from the local communities or the Border Patrol Sector Chiefs who are most familiar with the challenges of securing our border,” eight Democratic lawmakers wrote Mr. Obama last week.

Exactly.  Adults have always known what's been going on even while half of America's voters decided to live in Lalaland.  Educating those who are ignorant by choice is not a matter of info.

This is why debating or engaging the left is a waste of time. They believed a fantastic lie that no WMD were present in Iraq. Even after the UN spent close to 10 years destroying WMD stockpiles. Now that they know it was all a lie and WMD were present. Now that they know that GWB had left scores of US troops to guard the dragons eggs, they won’t even admit that Obama’s removal of those troops has caused the WMD to be transferred to the hands of terrorists. The same terrorists who just shot up Quebec.

That bogus adventure was always sold on the basis of nukes, not tactical chemical artillery shells past their expiration date.

That's a non-answer.

Again: What good would it do with the press denigrating him at every turn? Who would listen? Sarah Palin speaks out and what does the press do to her? Van Jones admitted that Dems were/are afraid of Palin and that's why the press convinced the public that she's stupid. Remember the press also labeled Bush stupid.

American troops secretly reported finding roughly 5,000 chemical warheads... more than 2,400 nerve-agent rockets unearthed in 2006

So who had the power to make this disappear at a time when Bush's presidency hung by a thread on this very issue?

I'll repeat what I occasionally repeat here because it has otherwise gone down the memory hole. A few people still remember.

Thanks to the embedded reporters, we saw during the invasion a chemical plant whose plant manager was an Iraqi Army general. The plant was not on the UN inspectors' list, meaning they did not know about it. It was secured by guard towers and Iraqi army infantry. And it produced nerve agent.

But a few days after its discovery, the newsies reported back that, no, it wasn't nerve agent at all, it was agricultural pesticide.

At least 3 or 4 times after that, the soldiers would capture Iraqi army ammo dumps and find barrels of nerve agent. And each and every time after a couple of days, they would announce that, no, it was agricultural pesticide. At an army ammo dump. At one dump the reporters got sick from exposure.

So, yes, they found WMD and then re-defined it out of existence. Even then, I asked myself, who had that power? They nearly impeached Bush over that issue, and yet they made it disappear.

I am not beholden to engage you in defense of my statement. Certainly not in response to an argumentative & ridiculous presumption on your part with that question.

Neither would it serve any purpose other than gratifying whatever irrational position many hold by being emotionally-attached to a man content to watch from the sidelines. Nothing, absolutely nothing, that I write will change that.

Should you choose to flame me for my response, please delay your flaming until the morning.

So you have no defense for your statement. Okay.

Btw, Bush did plenty that was wrong, Dubai ports deal, Harriet Miers and amnesty to name a few.

Attacking him because he doesn't speak out when no one will listen anyway is just stupid.

Have a nice day.

I didn’t attack him. I cited his own words and actions and provided source when challenged.

Putting words in another’s mouth, metaphorically, is argumentative.

‘Have a nice day’ is metaphorical as well; I’ll leave that alone today...
