Does any think G. W. Bush used 9-11 to go into Iraq.
The polls are in the low 30% that approve of going into Iraq
Obama screwed up bigger sense we were all ready there and let's admit it. We didn't invade Iraq we would not have Obamacare. GOP got slaughtered in two straight elections before of GW Bush.
Bush came across as a whiney , mothers boy, and a spoilt brat.
He is such a sleaze and to have his donors there cheering his every word made a mockery of a debate.
At the time, in 2003,polls were >80% in favor of invading Iraq. Given what was known, or believed, I believe it was the right thing to do.
I don't fault Trump, or anyone for having a different opinion. It was a judgement call. But, for Trump to now claim Bush was lying is despicable. If there was any chance I would support Trump....last night ended it.
He had CENTCOM planning an Iraq invasion very shortly thereafter according to GEN Tommy Franks' memoirs.
Clearly, there's a difference between knowledge at the time and hindsight. Would it be so hard to say that things didn't turn out as GWB and his advisers envisioned? Even though Obama screwed it up even more by abandoning Iraq later?
The problem with that for Jeb! is that he's trying to benefit from GWB's aura. Unfortunately, while the perception is that GWB meant well, the results call his judgement into question, and hence the value of his endorsement.
