During his first term, G W Bush, he did a lot as a Christian, which I saw clearly. G W father was always a globalist, NWO, but it was not until after 9/11, that we began to see GW start thinking that way. GW even said in 2006 speech, that if next President did not keep a large reserve of infantry in Iraq, that vacuum would be filled by a Caliphate. I heard it. Sad the father/Bill Clinton, and other family members have turned him further away from God.
During his time as Gov of Texas we were NOT inundated with huge groups of immigrants from Middle East. Mexico, we had a lot and it was normal to help them come and resettle.
It was NOT until O Drama took office that the borders were opened to MASS QUANTITIES of illegals who were paid, and people were paid to import them via trains thru Mexico, etc. That is when majority of Middle East Muslims and criminals began coming for the benefits.
"The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.
"When we think of Islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. And that's made brothers and sisters out of every race -- out of every race.
"America counts millions of Muslims amongst our citizens, and Muslims make an incredibly valuable contribution to our country. Muslims are doctors, lawyers, law professors, members of the military, entrepreneurs, shopkeepers, moms and dads. And they need to be treated with respect. In our anger and emotion, our fellow Americans must treat each other with respect.
"Women who cover their heads in this country must feel comfortable going outside their homes. Moms who wear cover must be not intimidated in America. That's not the America I know. That's not the America I value."
GW Bush brought in more Islamic immigrants than all previous presidents combined:
"In 2005, more people from Muslim-majority countries became legal permanent United States residents—nearly 96,000—than there had been in any other year in the previous two decades."
Saddam Hussein didn't persecute Iraq's Christians. He was a secular dictator, not an Islamist. Dubya ignored all warnings about destabilizing Iraq. But for Dubya and his advisers religion was an insignificant factor and they believed that democracy by itself has magical powers. So now Iraq's Christian community, one of the oldest on Earth, is headed for extinction. So I'd say that your belief that Dubya "did a lot as a Christian" has little basis in fact.
Sadaam was evil dictator who cut off hands of those he terrorized. More particularly was the rape and murders by his sons. Just because they didn’t find lots of WMD, does not mean there weren’t any components to make Nuclear weapons. I saw on FoxNews, before we went into Iraq, but after we said we would, a convoy of trucks heading into Syria loaded with ??? from Iraq. AP reported the following:
This is probably what VP Cheney said Sadaam had bought and it could not be located. Sadly, it was not reported until 2008.
“Sadaam was evil dictator who cut off hands of those he terrorized. “
And our Saudi allies chop people’s heads off for apostasy. Welcome to the Arab world.
“Just because they didn’t find lots of WMD, does not mean there weren’t any components to make Nuclear weapons.”
It does if you read the report issued by Dubya’s own 1,400 man Iraq Survey Group search team that scoured Iraq for a full year after the invasion. It’s called the Duelfer Report and you can find it online.
Iraq’s nuclear labs were decrepit and hadn’t operated in the ten years following Gulf War I.
The only WMDs that anyone found were gas artillery shells scattered in the hundreds of weapons caches throughout the country. And those were shells manufactured before Gulf War I.
The link that you posted to is about a yellowcake stockpile that belonged with the Osirak reactor that Israel put out of commission in the 1980s. It predated Gulf War I and we knew about it.
Yellowcake is a low grade ore product that is over 99% U 238, not what is used for a bomb. The less than 1% that is U 235 is bomb material.
Saddam was par for the course in the Arab world.
Pretty much.
The idea that Iraq could be remade into a western democracy was the lunatic conceit of the neocon cabal that Dubya chose for advisors. That kind of utopian thinking that used to belong to a few liberal kooks until they declared themselves neoconservatives and convinced some Republicans to adopt it.
You can have the last word, it’s ok.
You can have the last word, it’s ok.
Feel free to dismiss facts as “last words” if that makes you feel better.
