Whether Bush II lied or not (he lied) is not the most important thing. Here are two things that are more important
One, the Constitution requires a declaration of war. UN resolutions mean nothing. As do Congressional “authorizations”. If Bush II wanted a war, he should have been man enough to go before Congress and ask for a declaration of war.
Of course Bush II was not the first president to act like a king, and go to war on his own. But he and LBJ are the worst. They can both go to hell for all the misery they caused.
And two, Bush II’s invasion of Iraq was a “preventative war”. It was waged to prevent Saddam from maybe doing something bad in the future. Well, the Japanese also started a preventative war, on December 7, 1941. Preventive wars are immoral.
The only winner was Iran.
