RE:”It began with this question from Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly about his brother's invasion to topple Saddam Hussein.
“Knowing what we know now, would you have authorised the invasion?” she asked in an interview aired on Monday.
“I would have,” he replied, “and so would have Hillary Clinton and so would have almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got.”
Cue howls of outrage on both the right and left of US politics.”

Laura Ingraham ripped Jeb apart over this, said its the same as if he said he was stupid. Jeb responds by saying he misunderstood the question, that he wouldn't have, and FNC repeating that line.

I came to conclusion that invading Iraq was a disaster at the end of 2006. Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Condi... never told Americans we would need to keep troops and our $$$ in there forever under that hostile situation. They NEVER would have got that war authorization if they were candid about what it would lead to.

Doesn't history show what happens when the wrong people get the vote? Look at Baltimore.

And when I first started pointing this fact out here I was nearly alone here on it,
except a few libertarians here who I disagreed with much else on issues. .

I was nearly run out of here on a rail for this back then, attack after attack.

But the ISIS+Iranian takeover of Iraq hardly proves that all those US lives and $$ was worth it to result in this,

I think it took me till ‘07.

Those f.ing ingrates. What a waste.

We should have installed a new strongman, Iraq was last governed well under the monarchy installed by the British.

I was living in Asia before the Iraq invasion, and almost ALL of my conservative friends from the UK and Asia were dead set against the war, as they knew what would happen. It turned out they were 100% correct.
