Bush’s invasion of Iraq destabilized the entire middle east. 15+ years later and we are still fighting there. Taking out Saddam also led to the rise of radical Islam (ISIS) and millions of refugees invading Europe. I’d call that a huge blunder. Oh, and as a bonus we got Obama too. All because W had it in for Saddam after Saddam tried to assassinate daddy Bush.

Yep. Big mistake that was. He called the axis of evil correctly. But taking out Saddam because of Daddy was not very smart, but W was never accused of being very smart.

Obama and Hillary though got the ball rolling to topple the middle east without thinking (or maybe it was intentional) what that would do and who would take their places in that power vacuum.

And Bush has the gaul to criticize Trump when he kept his trap closed through the disastrous 8 years of Obama? SMH.

I guess we will have to just agree to disagree as I do remember how bad it was with Saddam and the terror he caused. It might have taken a while to stabilize Iraq but it no longer is a big problem for the world.

I have to give the US military huge credit for not giving up, working with its allies in the region, taking Iraq back from the bad guys and taking the fight to the bad guys in Syria even when political mistakes were made.
