It was not Bush. It was the idiot civilian he initially put in charge of Iraq as soon as the Hussein’s statue was toppled who created the wrath of the Iraqi Army when he alone refused to pay a lousy 50 bucks a man to the Iraqi Army men who all still had there AK’s. That dumb ass just said no and there were 500,000 or so pissed off troops with AK’s. I could not believe what I read.

Bush was responsible for whomever he put in charge. The real blame for ISIS though, goes on 0. Just so he could please his domestic constituency—that he “got us out of Iraq,” he took a peaceful, controlled country and passively watched it turn into a blood bath.

Mr. 0’s hands are dripping red.

Paul Bremer is the State Dept fool Bush put in charge who royally screwed things up in Iraq under Bush. With that said, as another FReeper recently pointed out to me, the buck stops with Bush on that one. And frankly, I am not sure there was any not screwing things up, short of having completely stomped out Islam there as a starting point.

It was Bush, and the ideologues he had in his Administration that believed you could civilize these people and make them live like Westerners when for centuries they have lived as tribal people who follow a murderous cult. He was also the one who got in front of a camera ad nauseum saying Islam was a "Religion of Peace."

Now we have a narcissistic President who at least is highly sympathetic to Muslims and anti-Semitic and anti-Christian, who is being controlled by God knows how many people in the background and VJ who apparently wants to bring about the Mahdi she grew up learning about. Somebody wants Islam to take over the world (besides the obvious Satan) and set it on fire and they're telling him what to do and then sending him to the golf course to stay out their way

And lest any of of you think electing a Republican president will stop this I offer you exhibit A: The 2014 Congress and B: The Republican leadership and the rest of the "R"s in the Senate. Whoever is controlling Obama, the DOJ, the State Dept., and the Democrats are controlling Republicans. They are all puppets. Bought and paid for.

So why didn’t Bush recall the idiot civilian and reinstate the $50. I presume that was monthly pay to feed their families?

It was Bush -- SENIOR's - fault. Why did we get mixed up in Gulf War one? Saddam was a useful tool against the Ayatollahs, the jihadis and the Gulf monarchies -- the former two hated him and he killed them continually and the latter feared him and their money spending on jihadis was kept in check as he constantly blackmailed them for money to fight the former two.

If Saddam was not removed we wouldn't have had 9/11 nor the Ayatollahs still around
