And the mess Bush created in Iraq.
I’m still surprised that the fault line responsible for the Haitian earthquake wasn’t dubbed the Bush’s Fault.
“And the mess Bush created in Iraq”.
Amen to that.
I’m surprised GW Bush hasn’t condemned DJT for taking out Soleimani (sp). But the day is young.
Between Carter, Clinton, both Bushs, and Obama, we are lucky the universe isn’t effed up.
“And the mess Bush created in Iraq.”
Unless you were there, or were involved with intel, you can’t know what was happening in the middle east around that time and who the players were unless you heard it from a media that had an agenda to attack Bush. And they went after him in more ways than I can count.
And if you were there, you knew they were collecting weapons and evidence of them all over the country and our intel was putting people like Bin Laden and Abu Nidal in Baghdad to receive treatment and have a good visit with Saddam along with funds. The problem with Iraq was more than just ours as 49 other nation voluntarily joined us and 5 of those had boots on the ground with four other supporting us in the area with post/base support and people.
Saddam Hussein provided bases, training camps, safe heaven and financial support to terrorist groups fighting the governments of neighboring Turkey and Iran, as well as to Palestinian terror groups. He, also, passed weapons to Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaeda network. Iraq helped the Iranian dissident group Mujahadeen-e-Khalq who slaughtered over 300 people in numerous hits in the early 90’s, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, and hosted the mercenary Abu Nidal Organization among many other Palestinian groups most trying to destroy Israel. They also protected Abdul Rahman Yasin, who was on the FBI’s “most wanted terrorists” list for his role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
This sound like the head of a country that needed to stay? He stole from, tortured, and murdered hundreds, possible thousands, that were never talked about. He set up impregnating locations for his soldiers to do so to women in Kuwait from pre-teen to senior citizens so they would be turned away from their country. (And that I personally saw when we had to go in) The guy was a animal and should not have been allow to do the things he did.
You also could look up when the first of the weapons trades and use were in the middle east. They were passed from countries to Iraq prior to the 1980’s and Iraq had been working with them from the early 1960’s. Bush didn’t make a mess, he tried to clean up one that was spreading rapidly to our shores.

Yep - Bush’s Daddy “did something” in Iraq and decided to stop just short of Baghdad - then the most recent Bush did a lot of talking about shock and awe and stopped short of actually delivering on it...they did as much harm as Carter did when he got rid of the Shah...
That was not Bush. That was the Sauds. Lol. The deep state represents the interest of foreigners. Because that is where the big money is. Lol.
