Limbaugh: Democrats who set up George W. Bush to go to war with Iraq now organizing 'silent coup' against Trump
The Hill ^ | Feb 22 2020 | Marty Johnson

Posted on 02/25/2020 9:42:55 AM PST by rintintin

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday wagged his finger at Democrats and U.S. intelligence agencies, arguing they tricked former President George W. Bush into the Iraq War and are now trying to do the same to President Trump.

"Now Bush, as a Republican, probably not popular with the deep state, particularly after how he was elected," Limbaugh said on his radio show. "A lot of Democrats, a lot of deep staters think that [Al] Gore should have been president."

"I think there was as much resentment in the deep state - we just didn't call it that then - for George W. Bush as there is today for Donald Trump, and if not the same, it's close," he added.

The deep state, Limbaugh asserted, planted fake evidence of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) to push Bush into the Iraq War and is now "making up evidence" of Russian ties to Trump.

I’ve got to the point..if the FBI / Deep State is willing to overthrow a President..what else are the willing to do?
Look the other way while some Saudis learn to fly planes but not how to land them?

Because of it, W will, or probably should, go down as one of the worst presidents we ever had.

The Obama debt is largely just an (exponential) extrapolation of the Iraq War debt.

All we know for sure is there were no WMDs. Whether the intelligence community was just mistaken (as W claimed) or outright lied is the question. Now that the Russiahoax has shown that they’re capable of lying, people are starting to ask questions about their honesty back in the day

Sorry, but that dog won’t hunt.

I'm not out hunting bro, I's asking a legitimate question. So I'll ask it again so you can understand me: Was yellow cake uranium considered WMD's?

Mr./Ms. Alberta’s Child:

At the present day and time[February 25, 2020 A.D., 1:40 P.M. EST The entire Government of the United States of America with the exception of President Trump is dedicated to one thing and one thing only. The total and complete destruction of the United States of America and what it stands for and make it a member of The New World Order, The Global Economy, or the One World Government. Use the term you prefer.

They really wanted to create the Department of Homeland Security which some think tank had already plotted out. They just needed a catalyst. But I’m a conspiracy theorist. Thinking about this now, they might have implemented earlier if not for the blue dress and lying under oath and impeachment.

Rush is loyal to a fault with the Bush family.

Negative.

We elected Bush to lead us in the right direction, not be fooled by fake intelligence. He failed. No blame shifting, please.

I love Rush, but this is preposterous. Nobody needed to push George W. Bush into the Iraq War. He filled the senior ranks of his administration with a bunch of globalist @ssholes whose only qualifications were their incessant clamoring for a U.S. invasion of Iraq for years.


Absolutely. And the way the occupation was managed was horrendous. Nation building in the middle east? Give me a break! Grand hubris on display.

Is Rush against the Iraq War now? I heard Mark Levin say earlier in the year that he admits that he was wrong to think that Iraq could be democratized.

Rush’s theory makes about as much sense as if someone on MSNBC claimed that Deep State Republicans tricked Obama into thinking Obama-care ‘If you like your insurance you can keep it’.

And Dems did claim that Obama had no way of knowing that it was not true, was told it by others below him.

I scoffed at that one too.

Rush was big on invading Iraq and was really close with the Bush family.

I take that to mean you’re unable or unwilling to say what’s on your mind. I understand. Chuckle away even though only you know why.

Take it for what you want...

I think you are very wrong.......

Was I a big fan of either Bush's no...not really. They WERE better than the alternative's...

I think GW is a good man.....

I think he doesn't measure down to Johnson or Obama..and would never include him to a list that those two are on.

So what's on your "mind"?
