‘Twas gwb who tried to hand over American ports to dubai under the radar...did hand over maintenance of many smaller airports. The carlyle group is headquartered in dubai. haliburton is headquartered in dubai. More, much more.
“The idea that Arab people are somehow content with oppression has been discredited forever, Bush said.”
Sounds exactly like something Hussein would say.
Nevertheless, the wiseguys all said the "authoritarian" Shah had to go. So we "chose which side to be on," unleashed the Ayatollah Komeini on the people of Iran, and let the genie of islamic revolution out of the bottle. We have had a headache there ever since, and it is not going away anytime soon. Freedom. Democracy. Delusional grandiose presidents who think they have the gift of prophecy just because they got elected once or twice. Ptooey.
George, I am dissapointed in you. You apparently learned nothing from 911 and its aftermath.
Really? Hmmm. This must explain why it is that Hussein had been harboring terrorists for years prior to 9/11/01. And, that Hussein was paying blood money to Palestinian terrorist's families who died while killing Israeli citizens in Israel. Oh, and this must also explain why, after the invastion of Afghanistan, Hussein provided a safe haven for Al Queda and Taliban forces who fled Afghanistan. Great detective work you've shown.
My theory is that they found up that Saddam and the Iranians were about to bury the hatchet. Up to that point, Saddam was useful as a buffer against Tehran.
That should be “found out”.
He definitely has a screwed up view of what has happened. The Old School thugs were replaced by Islamist thugs and the people are still the filling in a crap sandwich.
“How did he ever get elected President?”
The majority saw him as the lesser evil. Sounds familiar. very familiar. And now it’s 2012!
Twelve years or so ago, I really loved Bush, and even today I give him credit for what he did to keep this country safe. But aside from that, I really don’t think the man has a clue.”
I agree with that.
McCain wasn’t evil, just stupid.
Neither the Islamists who are benefiting from the so-called Arab Spring nor the dictators they are deposing are to be trusted. Neither stands for freedom. Bush is completely wrong on this. The Sauds must be bullshitting him again.
Yep, Saddam Hussein, the secular Baathist, would just be thrilled to have the Salafist al Qaeda on hand to undermine his own regime. The truth is, Saddam, while serving his own interests in securing his regime, was also serving ours by his fight against the Islamists.
The Iraqi invasion was probably the worst foreign policy blunder ever in our history. Vietnam at least slowed the timetable of Communism's march. Iraq replaced a hard but stable situation with chaos and the establishment of a terrorist playground, highway and recruitment area.
I call BS. Very very deep BS.
Where’s the link?

An unbelievable leaked video of an auction for a suicide bomber against Syria. This takes place in a hotel conference room in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The atmosphere is festive, and the audience has children in it.
But the merchandise auctioned is human flesh and blood!
I am at a loss for it not being included.
