If this is true ans started un W's watch, it would not surprise.

In many ways our "Compassionate Conservative" (BARF) was naive, misguided and misled by many advisors, to include Condi.

Worse yet, was his being allowed to be snookered and taken in by the pro-Islamic lobbyist, facilitated by one of the MOST dangerous (IMHO) so called "Conservatives"....GROVER NORQUIST....(and WHY is he still part of the Republican/Conservative establishment, I ask?) who was instrumental in influencing W as well as facilitating the entre into the WH of groups such as CAIR and encouraging the DHS, FBI, DOD, etc. to hire more Moozies which allowed our (potential) enemies access to classified information as well as influence the Government's actions.

We saw this early on after 9/11 when Bush came out swinging and then shorty thereafter, retreated like a little puppy dog, mouthing the Islamo-Fascist/Leftist mantra about Islam being a "Religion of Peace," etc.

While he may have been, though it seems we would have heard about it, why didn't Bush do more to forment and support a revolution within Iran?

AS SOON as I learned (again W being influence and WRONG) that we were going to allow Iraq and Afghanistan form new Governments with Sharia being the "Controlling Auhority," I knew our efforts in both countries were doomed.

Might as well pack up and come home, cuz an Islamic-controlled country will NEVER be a true ally and sooner or later, an open and dedicated, enemy!

I would guess you don't have faith that people who enjoy stoning women to death can handle freedom. That freedom is inconsistent with vicious sadism masked as a great religion?

Interest post. In the 2000’s, I always felt that Iran was prime to be overthrown. The people overwhelming did not like the Theo-Cratic regime. It was unstable enough such that Bush’s speeches supporting Irani freedom and the freedom fighters may be enough (along with some covert activities) that the regime would have been overthrown by a democracy.IWO, a “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” speech would go a long way. Iran was prime in the 2000’s to be pushed into a warless revolution. There were so many opportunities.

But, what did Bush and Condi do? Nothing. The muttered about the Iran’s nuke program and UN sanctions. Something that Hussien is copying today.
