Actually, the IRI was afraid of Bush
Idiot Bush took out Irans biggest enemy, Saddam. In place of Saddams check on Iran, Bush sponsored the creation of an Iran- friendly And with secularist Saddams heavy hand lifted , the jihadis ran wild through Iraq, genociding the ancient Christian community. - all on Bushs watch
And Bush spent (or borrowed) trillions to create this disaster. Funny how a lot of conservatives only get worked up about wasted trillions when AOC or Bernie are proposing it. We can throw trillions down Middle East ratholes and lots of conservatives dont raise a peep
“jihadis ran wild through Iraq,”
Because he didn’t take down the Iranian regime when he had the chance. That was the biggest mistake of his presidency. Iran was vulnerable at that time and the IRGC was a fraction of what it is now.
