There was never the support to build the pyramid of skulls that would require.

Despite claims to the contrary, Iraq was where the Madrid bombers and the 9/11 hijackers trained.
A little place called Salman Pak.
Unfortunately, Bush refused to reveal any of that and when it came out anyway they downplayed it.
Why?
Four words: Karl Rove said so
We didn’t mention the uranium we found, nor the chemical weapons found because Rove insisted we shouldn’t.

You bet your bippy that Saddam knew the terrorist training camp was there and had his blessings, nothing happened in Iraq without his say so.

So you’re concerned about the 911 bombers? The 911 bombers were Saudis.

Poke them in their eye with the arrogance only a muslim can have.
Trump was elected by the right hand of God, but first to save a Nation he must secure the Southern border against the hoards that might well include Iranians once God and Trump finish the job they have set about to accomplish against Iran. For eight long years the forces of evil conspired with the full bridle of American power aligned against us - the Muslim Brotherhood is no longer sitting at the heads of every American Agency and in every planning meeting as was under Obama. Trump has forced Iran to squander the cash reserves and forfeit their economy on a sustained war footing. They are at the base of the Golan, they are in South America, they are in Iraq and Lebanon... they are arrogant and have pushed their resources to the very limits to achieve a final battle. But Trump is going to give them a long retreat back to Iran while at the same time the people rise up against the corrupt Kommani II and his cleric henchmen. The jackboot of the false prophet is going to become crushed. While Trump repositions American power in different sectors, Air Power is going make life a living hell for the Syrian and Iranians - and possibly the Russians if they don’t disengage soon. By the time Trump is thru with Iran and Syria, there will be more than one regime change - Qatar may well go down. Turkey will find themselves forced back into their borders too. Once US troops are out of harm’s way on the ground, Death from Above will rain down like blessing from Angles. God doesn’t really sort them out, they just rot in the desert like so many before them.

just an opinion. I think Bush wanted to get Saddam because he plotted to kill his father when he went to Kuwait. I would have killed Saddam through assassination and gone after Iran because they were the “biggest exporter of terrorism of any country.”

Just two of the multiple articles on Salman Pak.
The press pushed a lie, that there were “no ties between Iraq and Al-Qeada”.
It still gets pushed.
Just like “there weren’t any chemical weapons/uranium yellow cake found!”

Yup.
Jstars tracked that convoy into Syria.
Interesting part, the areas that Isis (Al-Qeada in reality) went for were where those trucks headed to.

So the clear ties between Iraq and Al-Qeada don’t mean anything to you.
Copy that, good to know.

Bush revealed his stupidity by expecting a gaggle of moslem factions to somehow adopt and maintain a Jeffersonian democractic republic. It worked for a couple years while we were there as a powerful occupying force.

As soon as that ended, it all went to shit. Iran poured into the vacuum. Followed by ISIS. Blame Obama for pulling out, but what were we going to do, stay there forever?

“”Trump on Iraq: How Could We Have Been So Stupid? Bush’s invasion was “One Of The Worst Decisions In The History Of The Country”””

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/02/17/trump_on_iraq_how_could_we_have_been_so_stupid_one_of_the_worst_decisions_in_the_history_of_the_country.html

“You know, if Bush is insulted, I don’t care if he’s insulted,” Trump said Wednesday. “It was a horrible mistake. We should have never been there. Somebody says, oh, that’s not good to criticize? I say criticize? It’s one of the worst decisions in the history of the country. We have totally destabilized the Middle East”

“Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, but you know what he was good at? Killing terrorists. He was killing terrorists,” Trump said.

“Now, Iraq is Harvard for terrorists. If you want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It’s Harvard,” Trump told the audience.

Trump said Iran is finally getting what it wants: Iraq.

“We spent all this money, lost all these lives, have all these wounded warriors. What did we get? Iran is taking over.l”

Fake news.
The war ran continuously from 1990 to 2018.
A hell of a lot longer than these idiots put forth.
28 damned years.

Bush made American soldiers hostage to Iran’s Shiite militias in the South.

Sorry, you can stick with being a Bushbot. I’ll stick with Trump and his accurate assessment of Bush’s stupidity in invading Iraq

Why would Rove want supporting evidence buried?
