I am a Trump supporter, however, I think he was wrong. Did he mean what he said or was he pandering? My guess is pandering more than not.
The money we spent to find out was obscene. Bush should have to pay it all back. What he did to our country is a tragedy. We will be paying for that wasted war for centuries. Stupid........No to Jeb.
Any national government that does not have a "WMD" program should be considered grossly irresponsible.
Before the WMD stories started I remember reading in the family newspaper that W's lawyers told him it would not be legal to invade Iraq without an imminent threat such as WMD. The WMD stories started shortly thereafter. Yes, there were US weapons inspectors on the ground in Iraq and they couldn't find anything other than Iraq being less than 100% cooperative. It was well known by just about everyone at the time that W's stated belief of WMD was necessary to make the invasion legal. But Saddam had it coming. After the first Gulf War, Saddam attempted to have W's daddy killed. W made sure that was a fatal mistake.
I like isolationism at this point. Eff the world. I would not sacrifice one boy’s life in our military to protect anyone across either ocean or south of the river.
” Bush tried in vain to get Saddam to allow inspectors in but to no avail.”
That’s not the way I remember it. As I recall, there were UN inspectors who’d been allowed into Iraq, under Hans Blick. They were doing inspections, and Blick said he couldn’t find any WMDs. He kept asking BUSH to hold off on any invasion so they could keep inspecting. Bush ignored him.
