Looks like his dad in that photo.
I can’t believe I ever voted for that POS. đŁ
EVERY Bush League Republican needs to be replaced or they will give away our country.
Yea that was a faux pas equal to anything Biden ever uttered. Oops!
Freudian indeed it appears.
Bush term 2, he betrayed conservatives.
He’s obviously changed and not for the better.
Neither Bush cared about the American people. They were puppets for the NWO.
He’s a war criminal.
The guy has been out of office since 2009. He is charge of nothing now.
Spending time giving him shit over a slip of the tongue is a waste. Rehashing stuff that went bad 20 years ago is also a waste of time. We have bigger fish to fry.
For 8 long years, the American people had to suffer under Obama’s boot and George Booosh said nothing.
As soon as Trump was elected president, GW Bush couldn’t wait to criticize the policies implemented by the Trump team. When I think of all the times we conservatives and Rush Limbaugh defended GW Bush from the daily leftwing assaults and then Bush never returned the favor, makes him a filthy pariah.
It’s too bad that shoe didn’t hit him in the head.
When someone lies to justify a crime it's not a mistake.
I was deeply troubled by the idea of invading Iraq. My thinking was this: If the evidence is true that they have WMDs and are providing weapons to terrorists than it is a serious security issue and I'd support it. However if it's a lie than Bush is straight up evil to lie so he could murder people. I (at the time) did not think Bush was evil. I now see my error. But that's why I supported the war, because it turns out that the people shouting "Bush lied, people died!" were right.
Not a Freudian slip
A chub.
How do I know ?
They ALL laughed.

I believe George W was a good war time President but other than that he pretty much sucked.
Like many others, God speaks to GWB. In fact God told him to invade Iraq..

Is the position of Free Republic really that the Iraq War was unjustified? Worse, that "Bush lied and people died?" Really? After years of this site fighting that leftist anti-American blood libel? This place was a beacon of truth, using the facts to combat the left's treasonous lies. The irrefutable justification for the war, the many quotes from the rats about wmds.
Now, I regularly see those same lies regurgitated here on a regular basis. To say this is distressing would be a huge understatement. It is infuriating, frustrating, and downright sickening. What the hell has happened to Free Republic's commitment to conservative principles and the truth.
It's clear to me what is going on. You have embraced someone who was a leftist during Bush's presidency. Like a typical leftist, he lied through his teeth. Not just any lie. Treasonous blood libel. To embrace him, you have adopted his lies as your own. In the process, you have turned your back on everything FR has stood for.
Think I'm making it up? This is what he wrote in his 2000 book,"The America We Deserve":
Consider Iraq. After each pounding from U.S . warplanes, Iraq has dusted itself off and gone right back to work developing a nuclear arsenal. Six years of tough talk and U.S. fireworks in Baghdad have done little to slow Iraq's crash program to become a nuclear power. They've got missiles capable of flying nine hundred kilometersĂ¢ĂÂĂÂmore than enough to reach Tel Aviv. They've got enriched uranium. All they need is the material for nuclear fission to complete the job, and, according to the Rumsfeld report, we don't even know for sure if they've laid their hands on that yet. That's what our last aerial assault on Iraq in 1999 was about. Saddam Hussein wouldn't let UN weapons inspectors examine certain sites where that material might be stored. The result when our bombing was over? We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.
That was before GWB had served even one day as president. Of course, 7 years later he would call for Bush's impeachment for "lying about wmds." He would then repeat this lie on the Republican primary stage in 2016.
The facts speak for themselves, and the facts haven't changed. Yet, this once beacon of truth has turned its back on facts and integrity. Sometimes I torture myself and read left-wing boards. I shake my head at the total delusion and insanity. Lately, I all too often feel the same way here. That's a sad commentary.
Honestly, 2004 Free Republic would kick 2022 Free Republic's ass, and enjoy every second of it.
The war began with the United Nations Security Council passing Resolution 678, which reaffirmed and recalled eleven prior resolutions concerning Saddam Husseinâs Iraq. Resolution 678 did not order the coalition to simply expel Saddamâs forces from Kuwait but used a more expansive term for which precedence existed. The termâ restore international peace and security in the areaâ used language the UN and our Congress understood from the Korean War that after the Inchon landing authorized the invasion of Iraq as it had then affirmed military operations above the 38th parallel to invade North Korea. The resolution language was accepted by all five permanent members of the Security Council, including Russia and the PRC, who could have promised a veto and demanded more restrictive language to only expel Iraqi forces from Kuwait. Therefore, at the margin those two countries mandated the invasion of Iraq when Hussain ignored his responsibilities under Resolutions 687 and 1441.
