Agree which he has by saying we should have not left once we committed.
Trump doesn’t do “hows” and “whys.” He does accusations and assertions. He was funding the Democrats when they were saying there was WMD in Iraq and when they voted for the war. Now, he’d have us believe he was prescient on this issue. He was full blown Code Pink in a tutu. Well, it’s just one more example of what a fraud he is.
Trump has said it. Saddam was a horrible dictator but we had stability. There was a balance of power with Iran.
Now we have total chaos.
Trump is inoculating himself for the general election from George W’s failures. We’ve lost the last two elections because of W. Let’s not lose a third.
He has.
Because America doesn’t know how to win anymore.
It’s seems like all America knows how to do anymore is lie.
Here was Trump talking about it. This is an interesting interview.
That would be because we should not have been there to begin with.
Exactly!
He doesn’t know. He’s just regurgitating Code Pink BS. There’s nothing below the surface on much of what Trump says. Just political talking points. Some from the right and some from the left.
“Trump ought to be telling people why the Iraq war turned into a disaster.”
Exactly. Whether or not you agree/agreed with Bush’s strategy, it was never to just defeat Iraq and start a democracy there. It was to establish a beachhead in the Middle East, and send to message to other regimes in the area that we were serious. All those lives, and all that effort later, and we gave it all away.
I totally agree....he’s lost a lot of folks by trying to play the blame game on why we went into Iraq.
Trump can't do that.... because that would require him to be in the weeds... in the details. Trump is a manager who can never get below 30,000 feet. Every thing he says is at 30,000 feet. He lives there. He has no clue why it has turned into a disaster. He has no way to articulate that. He's just a loudmouth carny .... and he has spent a lifetime spinning garbage.
