Drivel, isolationist revisionist drivel

George Bush conquered Baghdad

[RandFan]

you’re still in thrall to Bush

Fat lot of good it did.

Iran has never been more influential in that region or that country than it is now

Well done....

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Peppers, he sure did.
That’s why the Middle East remains a tinderbox and the ruler there makes Saddam look like Reagan.
And they still hate our guts for “liberating” them.
I’m so glad that Max Boot guys like you are completely irrelevant now.

Bush/Cheney made a horrendous mistake in firing Jay Garner as the head of Iraqi Construction. His stated goal was to turn Iraq back over to the Iraqis, “it’s their country.”

That move paved the way for the MIC to profit more, at the eventual cost of thousands of American lives

Look, I voted for Bush-Cheney twice. But the Iraq war was a neocon con. Saddam was a horrible bastard, but there are a lot of horrible bastard running countries around the world. We can’t police the whole world. Saddam had no involvement in 9/11. To opportunistically use the country’s justified anger about 9/11 as the basis for pursuing neocon dreams of taking out Saddam in the name of “nation building” was insanity. The toll in blood and treasure was mind-boggling. The Bushes can shove it.
