The WikiLeaks Vindication of George W. Bush

Sheesh! Spell czech is knot yore friend!
“aisle!”

[STARWISE]

Put that in your empty heads, Valerie, Joe, Dem haters
and FReeper BDSers!

The man doesn’t and didn’t lie to further his #1
mission of US safety and security.

[rdb3]

And, of course, had anyone in the GOP (and perhaps even the rank and file) actually supported Bush in his tireless, but ultimately, vain effort to begin the process of reforming Social Security, the process toward one of conservatives’ most necessary goals would have already been underway.

Now, now.

We can't have any of that. We're talking about Dubya.

But of course you're right.

It puts my teeth on edge when ‘reporters’ report that the latest jihadist wannabee bombers are being charged with attempting to use a Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Why is a car bomb now a WMD and everything that was found in Saddam’s Iraq was not!!!!!!!

[Wolfstar]

If you happen to be a person who thinks Bush or Blair were failures, I recommend even more highly having an open mind and at least hearing each man out as to his side of the story.

Open minds are not welcome by some on the Right, let alone those on the Left. There are plenty of people on the Right who hate GWB just as much as any Leftist, although for different reasons.

The following was posted to me this very morning here on FR simply because: (1) I noted that Sarah Palin did not lead on opposition to the tax deal; Hugh Hewitt, Jim DeMint, Mark Levin and others did -- her opposition came over a day after their annoucements -- and (2) I said I'm keeping an open mind about the potential candidates for the 2012 nomination. Here's what was said to me:

In the meantime, you'll find me shunning and ignoring you on this website as I find your "open mind" is so open that we can all hear the wind whistling through it as I type this!!!

It’s good to have validation of that, but I never doubted George W Bush for one nano-second! He LOVES this country and
the people who populate it....even the ones who hate him.

Thanks for the ping, Star!

Thanks for the ping.

"By late 2003, even the Bush White House's staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But WikiLeaks' newly-released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). ... Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam's toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict -- and may have brewed up their own deadly agents."

Odd how no one 'leaked' this to the MSM years ago - or maybe they did - and the MSM liked the original story... the one that bashed Bush.

[florm15]

He could have said: "Here, look at these documents. I didn't lie." But for LOVE OF COUNTRY, he didn't defend himself, as it could have been a threat to national security.

I think he will go down in History as one of the best Presidents America has ever had....

[Kackikat]

I believe he acted like a statesman should, and that in the ‘social environment’ Bush served, it was the best any conservative could have done.

[3catsanadog]

Had Bush and Blair, and our nations’ respective military forces, not hung tough, Saddam would likely be alive and armed — or very nearly armed — with WMD today.

And, as God as my witness, the same libs who screeched "Bush lied, people died" would be busting blood vessels that Bush wouldn't protect us. That he knew and did nothing.

[STARWISE]

NO doubts .. not for ONE second!

[Republic]

Thank you for this magnificent post. Larry did a good job on this one. And I am madder than HELL all over again at our press corp. What a great big mass of inept people, too lazy or worse, dishonest, to research and uncover the truth that one good President held.

None of them will have the dignity to make this Wiki info front page news. Because destroying people who do not line up with their socialist agenda don't deserve to be apologized to, nor do they deserve to be vindicated, even when the facts exist that prove vindication is needed.

[Krodg]

Thank you!!

[fightinJAG]

Exactly.

Having read both Blair’s and Bush’s book, it’s amazing and, really, awe-inspiring that these men showed the political and personal courage that they did.

Reading it from their point of view, it’s almost like “no big deal, I knew what was right and I did it.” But when you put that into the context of the political vulgarity of our times, well, once again I’m very thankful to the Almighty that these two men were in power in the days, months and years following September 11.

Thanks for the ping......

The media has ignored these revelations about the WMD because they want to perpetuate the myth that ‘Bush Lied!’

We know that every major DemonRAT including Hillary Clinton called for Saddam’s removal!

Thanks safetysign.

Put aside that Wilson's CIA-employed wife, not the evil Vice President Dick Cheney -- as Wilson implied -- sent him on the African errand. Put aside that the British still stand by the intelligence on which Bush made the claim. And put aside that the anti-Bush Washington Post, in an editorial, concluded that Wilson had lied about not finding evidence to support the Iraq-in-Africa-for-uranium claim, since he told the CIA the opposite when he reported back from Africa.
