“Sent them over on a fool’s mission in Iraq
Yes, it was entirely foolish to topple Hussein.
How I wish Saddam was still there shooting at our planes, terrorizing the world with threats of WMD, funding suicide bombers, and killing his people.
Bush was entirely evil for taking him down.”

And now, when we pull out, after all the spilled blood and wasted treasure, the Iranians will take over the country (predictably) within a matter of weeks or months, with many, many more Iraqies killed. We will have accomplished - what?
Bush was not evil, perhaps - merely a fool. Iraq was his folly.
Have you, yourself, ever been personally involved in any of the hostilities our leaders have led us into over the past sixty years? I have. Not a single one of them was a declared war, not a single one addressed a single, direct national interest, not a single one ended in a US victory, and not a single one resulted in a permanenet resolution of the problems we went there to solve. Not one. All entirely bogus, and we achievd nothing - not one thing - for all our sacrifice and efforts. Foolish.
Add this foolishness to Jorge Bush’s policies and pitiful efforts regarding illegal aliens, his spending like a drunken sailor, and his part in precipitating the housing crisis and the economic collapse collapse we still suffer from, and I see very little to admire Bush for except his exceptional early guidance for a brief period after 9/11.
He handed the country to Obama as well - not a very forgivable fail.
Only your opinion. Not the majority opinion by a long shot.
not a single one addressed a single, direct national interest
I'm not sure how you can say leaving the Taliban in power with Osama Bin Laden leading their effort would have helped our nation. The only reason we haven't suffered another major attack is because Bush put us on the offense. That's certainly national interest.
