"Bush Jr. should have listened to his father Bush Sr. who called his son at the White House before the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. Bush Sr. didn’t favor taking out Saddam in the process. Saddam was the one man who could keep the tribes in check. The younger Bush hung up on his father."

On the other hand, before the Iraq war I often heard it claimed that Iraq was basically a modern, secular society trapped in an Islamic body, and that it was not a society primarily motivated by religious passion.

Even if the photo were genuine, it is something ISIS would claim, so as to make it appear that any armed opposition to them will only make them stronger. And libs would eat it up.

Wait. So Obuttboy and Hillary were funneling weapons from Benghazi to Syria just for the heck of it? OHHHHH... they were sending them to the Free Syrian Army, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISIS.

And, somehow, ISIS just happened to get all that great war materiel we casually left in Iraq.

But, didn't Bush put us in Iraq and spend... what? One trillion, two trillion? It's really strange that we would spend that kind of money and, inexplicably, walk away from it all.

It couldn't be that this was the plan all along, and that Obama and Bush are both members of the UniParty which serves at the feet of the global banksters who make TRILLIONS from constant war, could it?

Kinda funny how Bill Clinton is now an adopted son of Poppy Bush and a stepbrother of W.

Kinda funny how Bill's wife and W's brother are vying for the presidency.

And we're kinda stupid if we believe the media (including FoxNews) when they tell us that the Reps and Dems hate each other.

And we're even stupider if we can't look at what has actually happened and draw the obvious conclusion that it makes no difference which marionette is in the Oval Office. Our nation continues in the same path... towards Socialism, tyranny and World War 3.

There is no such person as Bush Jr. The only junior in any political family is Albert Gore Jr.

I really get sick when people use this term and phrase.

He was and is junior to his father in more ways than one.

Did I miss something, or was there NO mention of Bill Clinton’s involvement in wanting to go after Saddam ..?? We know there was, because Rush was playing the audio of Clinton’s statement .. but there’s nothing about him in this article. Should I be surprised ..?????????????????

I heard that on Rush, and wondered why I hadn't recalled Bill Clinton's mention of WMDs ever before. Good ammo against the Obammunists.

Megyn Kelly: Knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion?...McCain put this in perspective this afternoon on Fox - said what we know now is not just the myth that there were no WMD in Iraq, but also that after the invasions the surge had actually brought the country to a "strong, stable and sovereign" state, to use Obama's words, and beyond that that Obama's withdrawal of our troops and influence from the country then led to the collapse of that state into the chaos we see today - so "no" we should not have invaded, not because of what Bush did which in fact helped create a buffer against Iran's takeover of Iraq, but because of Obama's throwing the success away....
