ORIGINAL: tj444 Yeah, just like Bush did illegally invading Iraq and how many thousands did that kill (& continue to kill)? plus the trillions it has cost y'all and the egg on yer face, the world will never let you forget that fiasco, ever.. Apparently Repub Prez's dont learn from history, I see this as being the first of many, many military disasters for Trump & the American military.. Dont expect things to get better, Trump is 70 and is gonna keep doing things "his way" and everyone else be damned.. no matter how many people die as a result.. Except: 1) Bush was told that the US did not have enough active duty troops to conduct a two theater war. 2) Every reason that Bush gave for the invasion was absolute and utter bullshit. A) Iraq was in position of WMD's. >The only WMD's discovered after the invasion were useless chemical rounds scattered in a disposal area due to the fact the agent had long since gone inert and therefore the only danger the rounds were to anyone is if they physically hit somebody. B) Iraq was an active supporter of Al Qaeda > Saddam's support of Al Qaeda was clear in view of the fact Bin Laden wanted Saddam dead, and every Al Qaeda operative captured by Saddam's overt and covert police was executed without trial. C) Saddam's military was a threat to the region > After the first Gulf War, Saddam's military was only a threat to his own people, since due to the sanctions and trade embargo he could not get parts for his Warsaw pact military equipment 3) And there is the fact that every general in the pentagon that disagreed with President Bush was either fired or forced to retire. But, yeah, other than that, everything was sorta the same.
