Rand is a nut bag…end of story
The “nut bags” are the folks who still think it was smart to invade Iraq - against the evidence.
1. We deposed a dictator who had kept the Islamists in prison or brutally oppressed.
2. With the dictator removed, a civil war between Islamist shias and sunnis broke out.
3. A shia government was ultimately established, and it became the closest ally to IRAN. (While Bush was still president, remember).
4. That shia government - that we put in place - utterly excluded sunnis from power, and now they’ve responded by re-starting the civil war.
5. The government - that we put in power, through the loss of 4500 Americans - is still IRan’s closest ally, and they’ve called on Iran to help their side in the civil war.
To sum up: It’s “nuts” to still argue that Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq was smart, and the $1 trillion was well spent (borrowed from China, by the way), and the thousands of dead or crippled American military was “worth” it.
Instead of holding Bush and Cheney to account for this disaster, - their disaster - so many freepers are reverting to Bushbot mode. It’s sad. You’ll also be loyal cheerleaders for Jeb when he runs. The Bushes can always count on the sheeple suckers in the conservative rank and file, even though they govern like liberals, at home and abroad.
