Revisionist antibushers forget one thing.

President George W Bush will be remembered as a conqueror of Baghdad.

Almost no others can claim that victory

"Who does he plan to replace? Cornyn, Lyn’ Ted, Abbot?"

It's rumored he plans to run for Texas State Attorney General.

Many of us have known people like that. Not stupid. Just not motivated or applying themselves and then suddenly something changes and they turn things around.

interest was Kuwait, the Gulf, Saudi Arabia. We protect our Arab gulf allies. To protect our interests in the region.

The fact you can’t see the need is based on isolationist ignorance

The war W fought was the one started by Saddam and continued for 10 years.

Some confuse Islam with Arabs. You must learn the difference

There’s the Neocon party line. Max Boot couldn’t have said it better.

There was zero military necessity to occupy Iraq.

The democracy project gang at the Project for a New American Century believed that we could transform the Middle East at will. And Dubya being the fool that he is believed it.

Just decapitate their governments and install a veneer of American democracy. Proposition Nation stupidity at its finest.

PNAC ended up staffing the Dubya administration. No surprise there.
