“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!
He said, “For hands were lifted up to the throne of the LORD. The LORD will be at war against the Amalekites from generation to generation.” Ex 17:16
Obama made the perfect case for Bush invading Iraq in his speech for the very reasons stated to attack Syria. He said it was up to the world to draw a line when it comes to using or threatening to use chemical weapons against his people and children. The case he made was it was too horrible to see all of those children laying dead from chemical weapons makes it a moral case to strike and attempt to overthrow a government which was gassing its own people. As we all know Saddamn Hussain gassed the Kurdish children, Iranian teens and the southern tribes of Iraq’ children numerous times making a moral imperative to attack and overthrow Saddamn.
He also said we need to keep the weapons from getting into the hands of our enemies which is the very argument George Bush gave and was vilified 8 years for it. In Syria we are looking at fighting for Al Queda to overthrow a semi-stable government. Once these animals get their hands on these weapons which are very possibly Saddamn’s there will be no telling where they will end up or who will be gassed. If you take the least risk it would be to leave Assad in control of those weapons and take them away from Saddam if you are concerned about dangers to the rest of the world.
Obama also stated it would send an important message to other bad guys like North Korea which was one of the reasons George Bush attacked Iraq. Saddam made Assad look like a piker since he had the strongest military in the Middle East. His Republican Guard was battle tested in their wars against Iran and Kuwait with what was known by every intelligence agency in the world as a possessor of chemical weapons as were many of his neighbors. After Bush had taken Iraq and killed Hussain to the consternation of liberals like Obama, Libya’s Kadaffy gave up his weapons and became a less aggressive dictator. So once again, Obama is using the same argument and essentially saying Bush should have definitely attacked Iraq for his reasons given.
He also mentioned he needed to go to Congress to receive their approval for war actions against Syria. Not only did Bush go to Congress, but went to the UN where he got overwhelming approval for the intervention of which neither are going to approve of Syria. Bush took his proposal to the Congress and they overwhelmingly approved with the very people who stabbed him in the back such as approvers Biden, Clinton, Kerry, Feinstein, Schumer, Edwards and Reid who now get a pass. In the world of hypocrisy these Democrats are superpowers.
It appears that according to Obomber, George Bush did everything right and should have gone to war in Iraq to protect the world community and the United States. Saddam was a threat to the United States who most likely had Chemical Weapons which were moved outside and perhaps to Syria. He said he had them and there was a very good chance he would use them against another country and if possible against the US. It was up to Bush and his military to decide what the chances of that happening were and if it were likely what were the possibilities of overthrowing him successfully.
If there were even a 5-10% chance he could get a weapon into the US and detonate, that was too great a risk for any President to take. His job was to protect the country and if a thousand or more were killed in a gas attack he could not realistically sit by and let that possibility occur. Even if it were a 1% chance which it certainly was given the possibility of turning it over to Al Queda after the 911 attacks and his hands were basically tied that he had to make that call. Obama is making the same call with a zero chance of Assad ever being able to attack the US or any other country, but he is attacking due to the moral outrage.
In the end, Obama’s speech validated the war in Iraq and George Bush’s need to attack Saddamn Hussain. He never thought about his reasons as being a justification of Bush’s decision, but they certainly are. Not only do they justify the going to war of GW, but you can take every one of those reasons and multiply them by a factor of ten due to the power of Saddam and the connections he had to terrorists. After the attack on the Twin Towers and the potential of losing tens of thousands of lives if that were a midday attack, he had no choice but to go into Iraq.
The war in Iraq did get rid of the most dangerous dictator in that region who was the region’s bully. He would have attacked America or another country if he could and it sent a message to other dictators like Kaddafi that they would no longer be tolerated. When he was finished that part of the region was as stable as it had been in a long time and Iraq does have a fragile form of democracy which may survive if the terrorists like those attacking Libya, Egypt and Syria don’t overthrow it. If you need more validation for George Bush going to war and being justified for Iraq you need look no further than the leader of the Democrat Party, Barack Hussain Obama. So now that Obama has made the case, when is Bush going to get his thank you from him?
Pray America is Waking Up
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily my own, but FReeper Bray’s. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Not only did ozero validate "Bush's war" but we now see that what General Georges Sada(Sadaam Husseins air force general) told five talk radio shows Congress and wrote a book about was and is true.
That is that there were ample wmd's in Iraq and were flown and trucked into Damascus,Syria. The Russians were part to that fiasco as well.
Everyone knows it now except for the DBM which will never do anything to help the Bush legacy even in abstentia.
................... Truth is Syria is one of the biggest world wide deceptions ever planned by David Axelrod and may well keep zero from every having to stand trial for Benghazi,Egypt,bribing the MB/Morsi with 8.4 billion, nsa and IRS scandals or a whole cascade of other now disappearing scandals that all lead to impeachment of the black messiah.
Diversion and psy-ops have once again saved the day for the dear leader who will go on to play golf, molest ten year olds, do drugs,read more teleprompter fairytale speeches and raise more money to buy votes that will destroy the country while we watch. Never playing the game only watching.
Many thanks, AB, for posting this. And bray, thanks very much for writing this exceptional essay. It needs to be shouted from the rooftops. The Democrats are indeed the superstars of hypocrisy, deceit, and fabrication.
