MSNBC host Rachel Maddow charged Monday that the George W. Bush administration's Middle East policy has steered America's current security policy and response to global crises — including the one in Ukraine.
Talking about her new documentary, "Why We Did It," involving circumstances leading to the Iraq War, Maddow told MSNBC colleague Andrea Mitchell that the Bush administration is largely responsible for the nation's current course overseas.
“The decisions of our generation on national security are determined more than anything by what the George W. Bush administration did with that nine-year war in Iraq and, alongside it, a 13-year war in Afghanistan that’s still going on," she told Mitchell. "And the American people are against those wars."
“Those are the determinative constraints for our thinking about everything,” she continued, “from Crimea, to Syria, to what the overall size of the U.S. military is.”
Maddow said her documentary concludes that if the United States is to avoid "these kind of protracted foreign occupations, like we did under the previous president, we can’t effectively make good decisions about that until we understand why we did that."
"We know the public case for why we went to Iraq was not true," Maddow said, adding that her findings for the documentary were "disturbing."
"It's getting at the question that needs to be answered," she said.
Mitchell, agreeing with Maddow's premise, noted that the Bush administration's policies impacted "every other decision we make — why the president decided not to go ahead with airstrikes against Bashar al-Assad on Labor Day weekend.”

LOL Liberalism truly is a mental illness, unfortunately there is no cure, once liberalism takes control of the brain it literally turns it into swiss cheese
I blame that Washington feller myself. Never trust a guy who wears wigs.
Wow...
Anyway, back to reality.
Maddow must be taking the same LSD as Nancy Pelosi.
Not McKinley and Coolidge?
1. $330 billion in 2009 to help pay for his "stimulus"
2. $487 billion in 2012
3. $650 billion in 2013 with sequestration
All these cuts have now overlapped. These were deep, real cuts, and today the military is living, or more aptly, dying by them.
Rachel Maddow is responsible for all the pedophiles in the world.
Dr. Michael Savage;
“Liberalism Is Mental Disorder”
After 5 years either Obama is incompetent or embraced the “Bush Doctrine” which she attempts to describe. Maddow, a Rhodes Scholar in BS artistry (Hard Sciences or bust) still has an adolescent crush on (Synthetic) “donkeys” which affects her reasoning skills.
“Rachel MadCow is an idiot!”
Guess I am an idiot too. If you recall, Bush looked into Putins eyes, saw his soul was good and pronounced him mr nice guy. He took the first “we love you” steps. Not that Obama,Hillary and Horse face aren’t culpable morons because they are and are equally responsible. Bush however was the first Moron when it came to Putin. if you remember, Bush also did nothing when Putin went into Georgia.
No wonder only the loons watch that idiot cable channel.
It’s not news. It’s propaganda.”
The three people that watch MSNBC resent you for calling them loons...lol
Speaking of propaganda, I love the fact that Maddow is going to do a documentary on GWB’s foreign policy. I'm safe in guessing what her conclusion will be.
This is MSNBC trying to bail out their village idiot, again
Proving conclusively that 0bama is utterly incompetent, impotent and irrelevant.
No doubt it is Obama’s incompetence in every aspect of the Presidency. He makes Carter look like a George Washington.
Pray America is Waking
The b***ch needs to sit in the corner and put on her dunce cap.
Larry Kudlow just blamed conservative republicans for blaming Obama more than Putin
Don’t forget cancelled healthcare policies...
Can’t make this crap up, because PMSNBC has dibs on making $h!t up.
