I won’t even give him that. Right after 9/11 George W. Bush decided to “nation-build” in Afghanistan instead of carrying out a quick, sharp punitive mission.
Then it got worse. He invaded Iraq while Afghanistan was still simmering. We were no longer undeniably the good guys. And the Muslims were no longer undeniably the bad guys (for many people, anyway).
It would like if FDR decided to invade neutral Spain in the middle of fighting Germany and Japan. And then got all bogged down.
I will never forgive Bush II for all the misery he caused. And for what? For nothing.
The first George Bush ….Reagan’s biggest mistake…
