Yes, yes, someone who sees Trump through his BS. Didn’t we already try to moderate mush with Romney and McCain and we are doing it again?
“Once of the greatest scenes in movie history. “
Glengarry Glen Ross is one of the top ten movies ever made.
Based on the play by the great playwright David Mamet who also wrote the GGR screenplay, and who had an epiphany a few years ago switching from lib to conservative like Dennis Miller did even earlier.
George W. Bush was responsible for the first Gulf War? Okey dokey.
All that is true. However, Donald Trump is correct: Taking out Saddam destabilized the Iran/Iraq conflict.
I was a civilian contractor at the Marine Corps Intelligence Activity during Desert Storm, and while the military invasion plans were amazing, there was no real planning on how to handle the defeated armed forces and the liberated civilian population. “Let them loot!” is not a good policy for restoring order and establishing “democracy”. The de-Baathification program was a disaster and left such a power vacuum that the country never recovered. Everyone in the deck of cards other than the four Aces should have been co-opted into the new government.
Why don’t you think he was?
Trump reeks too much to win over Hilary.
Lets have open minded discussion
1. Follow money
2. Sr. Bush and W Bush backers business interest in Middle East.
3. 9/11 was boom for Bush cronies.
4. W was immature, made decisions based on emotions and special interest.
5. Implosion and explosion in middle East will go on for another 20-30 yrs or more.
6. Bushes decision had made this country financially weak. When country is financially weak it becomes morally weak and destroy within.
7. They still support non stop illegal immigration, multi culture within countries. Creating pockets within country.
Whoops, sorry, I meant HW was responsible. But without that, there would have been no second war.
HW did two dumb things:
1. He got us into the war in the first place.
2. He left Saddam in power.
Abso-damn-lutely.
I have been saying that for months!
Which is entirely irrelevant to the point. GWB did not "decide to take out Hussein because he felt that Hussein's continued rule over Iraq was affront to Bush1."
Dream on. Who loves Dubya? Nobody will care. I voted for the amnesty !oving loser twice.
Bush left country financially destroyed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
8 months in? No.
Seven years in with his history of of buddying up with islam? Yes.
I think nation building the most misguided effort, but I am glad we were there. Who the hell do Americans think we were fighting in Fallujah? We kept Al Queda too busy for 8 long years. It is well known now that Saddam coordinated the insurgence with Al Queda. And we know pretty likely that WMDs were transferred to Syria. The only place I do agree is those missing 28 pages. Bush sold us out by getting those Saudis on planes and Congress covered for the Saudis in the 911 report.
You were always for Cruz but nice try. LOL!
I blew that stupid idea apart in post #68
