“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 believe Bush was mislead by the NWO cabal and their bogus ‘Sadam’s WMD yellowcake’ nonsense. That’s a LONG STORY but in the end we established some sense or order there until 0blama turned his back on the Status of Forces Agreement for more sinister reasons.
