If Bush were president WE WOULDN'T EVEN BE TALKING ABOUT ISIS BECAUSE HE WOULD'VE GIVEN THEIR CONVOYS THE 'HIGHWAY OF DEATH' IMMEDIATELY instead of INTENTIONALLY IGNORING THEM like 0blama did in order to EXPAND THE CALIPHATE into Europe!!.
“Bush invaded Iraq then HELD IT.”
But you first have to ask why he did it? The 911 Hijakers were all from Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden was a Saudi. One of the most often plausible reasons offered was that Saddam Hussein had plotted to kill his father. I don’t know about you, but that shure isn’t a pretext for causing the deaths of 5,000 of our young people and pissing away billions of dollars of money we had to borrow from the Chinese. For ten effing years he plodded along in Iraq and Afghanistan, unable to win. Additionally, you have to wonder why our military wasn’t successful in a couple of years max. I think the answer lies in the politically motivated “rules of engagement.” At the end of the day W was a lousey president but unfortunately he was “better” that the alternatives the RATs served up.
I am not suggesting Obama isn’t the worst, but if Bush had leveled Afghanistan and stopped hard on Saddam there would have been no Iraq invasion, no Libya, no Benghazi, no Egypt, and no mess in Syria.
