I heard about this and was infuriated. Bush was the first president I gave money to.
What is incredible to me is that he kept his pie hole shut while Obama systematically flushed every ounce of blood and treasure we spent in Iraq down the toilet.
Obama saw to it that the Iraq war and every American life that was maimed and lost during it... WERE LOSSES IN VAIN.
I remember being baffled as to why Bush kept his mouth shut. He had every reason to speak up, it wasn’t about being rude to the new President, it was about speaking out for all the families and loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and now had nothing to show for it. In fact it was more than losing all our gains, it also laid the groundwork for the birth of ISIS and all the carnage and death they have become responsible for.
How could he not speak out for those families he claims to weep for and hold more dear than anything else? I told myself he must have a level of understanding and respect for the office of the presidency that no one can possibly fathom who hasn’t held it themselves. That must be it.
Then he does this. I’m disgusted. I was so wrong. Keeping his mouth shut during the Obama years was apathy...pure and simple. An apathy that wouldn’t be broken even as the thousands of maimed and killed soldiers under his watch had everything they fought for get flushed down the toilet.
Yet what did it take to shake his apathy and have him speak out against one of his predecessors? His need to defend the MSM.
Go to hell george bush. Fck you
Good point.
