That’s even worse than his Pappy’s “Read My Lips” moment.

He sounded sincere, maybe he really believed that then.
Then Darth Cheney got into his mind.

I recall there was also a clip of him saying the U.S. should not be the “policeman of the world”.

He did sound GOOD before being elected!

It’s a lot easier to listen to the 45 seconds of video than to summarize it.

I dont get the term “Clickbait”.

It implies I’m somehow profiting from it like it goes to my website or something.

It goes to twitter..

And I’ve no connection to the twitter user and no desire to increase their views or anything.

In retrospect, he was right to kick the Taliban's @$$es after 9/11. What should had happened is that we should had allowed the Northern Alliance do their own thing. Allow Afghanistan be Afghanistan. Station a couple of thousand Special Forces to look for Osama Bin Laden. Once we found him, leave the country.

But hindsight's 20/20. We did it the complicated way. When there was the easier why of doing it.

We should have turned sand into glass and/or let the Israelies take care of business in that area.

How any Reaganites ever had any support for any Bush is befuddling

Yes.

People are sick of these slick talking politicians.

W. did sound very conservative back in the day I remember it well.

The problem is there are lot of Bush Leaguers kicking around who use the same duplicitous tactics.

Got to be careful.

Pakistan is the one that should have had their asses kicked, they helped Osama more than Afghanistan.

“Never get involved in a land war in Asia”

We need to start teaching that in kindergarten until we as a country learn our lesson.

I will never vote for another Bush for President ever again. They’re all the same.

“Never get involved in a land war in Asia”

Every American citizen should study George Washington’s farewell address and reread it once a year. Wisdom for the ages. As relevant today as it was when Washington gave it.
