"Warmongering neocon" is a leftist pejorative against conservatives. Why have you adopted their language? Whenever I see "neocon" used on FR nowadays, it means standard conservative foreign policy.

Where are the wmds Trump and all the other other Democrats said were there? Most likely Syria. Btw: Bush didn't start the war, Saddam Hussein did. How do you not know that?

What I do know is this; 1) the Bush invasion resulted in the wipeout of the Iraqi Christian population, which had been there for 2000 years; 2) when we invaded, a poll showed we had the support of 35 percent of Iraqis, if Saddam was so horrible why wasn’t this much higher, like over 90 percent? 3) a poll a year into the Occupation found we had the support of 2 percent of the population, or 1 in 50 Iraqis; 4) Iran was placed in a much stronger position than with Saddam who was their mortal enemy; 5) Colin Powell came to realize that what he was told to say at the UN was a pack of lies and he never got over it; 6) we lost far too many of our best young men and women, led by a VP, Cheney who would not serve in the military during VN (he had five marriage and educaiton deferments and said service “wasn’t for him”) and a President, GW Bush, who somehow got into the Alabama National Guard and reportedly wouldn’t even show up for monthly meetings.
