The WMD thing was an issue seriously questioned by some of his own intelligence people, but Bush chose to order invasion of Iraq. I think evidence of his convoluted motivation was the subsequent invention of the so-called “Bush Doctrine.”
I personally know people who were on the ground during the Iraq invasion... including the very early stages. They were tasked to find WMD’s...
They did indeed find evidence of current WMD’s. The material in question was removed from Iraq and sent to the US... very quietly.
If you’ll also remember the 40 semi truck convoy to Syria just before the start of the war... where do you think Syria got a nuclear program going that the Israelis bombed a few years later? (2008? 2007?)
Lots going on behind the scenes that is best left quiet about to the public at large... they might have nightmares over it. And maybe demand that it be addressed... and we can only do so much.
"The WMD thing was an issue seriously questioned by some of his own intelligence people, but Bush chose to order invasion of Iraq."
Do you have any sources of these "intelligence people"?
If you read post 13 you will see that several Dems were also convinced that Iraq had WMD and should be invaded.
To indicate that President Bush ordered the invasion of Iraq is technically correct (he was the CIC), but that decision was not made in a vacuum.
He consulted with his military commanders, had the approval of Congress and, as you see in post 13, the backing of several Dems including the ex-Pres.
To indicate that President Bush lied about WMD's and put our soldiers lives in danger as payback for his father is not only demeaning but flat out wrong.
The fact that you "feel" this to be fact tells more about your inability to think clearly than the lib talking points you spew.
