I also supported the Bush Doctrine and the invasion of Iraq
But in his second term, when Bush remained silent and closeted, refusing to respond or defend himself and his policies and let our troops be ripped to shreds by ied’s while the partisan democrats did everything they could to lose the war- I lost all respect for him
His meekness and silence fed the anger that gave us ....Obama
so what is GWB’s legacy besides thousands of American troops dead or maimed and trillions spent on a failed doctrine and capitulation to democrat treason in setting a sure path to bankrupting our economy?
Barack Obama- the incompetent and questionably eligible potus. Our intel agencies could have sorted out that man’s background before he was nominated had Bush set them to it, but no, he was too noble to expose the black man as the scam he is
The ultimate betrayal
who his doofus brother Jeb is already mealy mouthing
I too was an initial supporter of the Iraq invasion. I went along with the Bush idea that we would be welcomed and that they were ready for a US base in their country. I thought at the time that Iraq was the easiest way to gain a toehold in the ME. Our intel was so bad that things went wrong almost from the beginning.
Bush made several compounding mistakes, as have been mentioned up thread. No plan for the country, misunderstood their opposition to our values, ran up the debt without any fiscal sense. Nation Building crap. He ended up being a disappointment in my mind.
Now we learn how much the donor GOPe class had to do with it. I was one of the fools who bought into the argument and now feel betrayed by my party. Hence my vote for Trump (or Cruz, but primarily for Trump)
Now Trump is playing a poker hand. He is betting that the people of SC will agree with him and reject the support that “W” is bringing to JEB. In the process (from Rush) he is attempting to gain from cross-over democrats. This is a dicy bet, but I would not discount the strategy. Trump has seen several outrageous positions become the mainstream among the candidates. This time he is attempting to cut out all of the GOPe stand ins in one election.
