The list of contradictions would fill this board. Bush was an idiot. Bush was an evil genius. Bush crashed teh economy. Obama rescued the economy. Bush was for the rich even though under Obama the rich have done better than they ever did uner Bush. It goes on and on.No. Bush was the biggest idiot ever, says the Left. So Dick Cheney, who had no financial interest in how Halliburton did, convicned him to invade Iraq so he could make money from his Halliburton non-investments.No, I put Bushs oratory skills on the level of being able to exploit post 9-11 fear in the American people, make people think Iran was an immediate threat, imply that Saddam was leading terrorist threats......in other words....lie to justify a warYes, it was Bushs fault
Because his simplistic plan of reshaping the Islamic world in his image never had a chance of working
He created bedlam that spread throughout the Muslim world. Bush stirred up the hornets nest of centuries of hatred and suppression and left it to future presidents to fix
you attribute the powers of a great leader of men to Bush. You put his oratorial skills and ability to rally human beings on a par with Ghandi or Buddha. In your mind he convinced briliant people like the clintons and the dems in congress to ignore facts and blindly follow him. Or, are you saying that the dems were too stupid to think for themselves and interpret the intel differently?
Your high praise of Bush's intellectual and persuasion skills seems somewhat misplaced since you hate him. But you are a liberal, so---------------------------------------------
So, lets see if I understand what you are now claiming.
You are saying that Bush convinced the dems and the rest of the world that Saddam needed to be taken out by force. To do that he used intel from the Clinton administration, intel that the dems, the UN, and everyone else had full access to. But Bush, and Bush alone, convinced the entire world to accept it when it was obviously false.
Is that your position? If so, you really need some psychiatric help.
Seriously, the believe this shit.
exactly, first they say that Bush was a complete raving idiot, and then they give him credit for convincing the entire world to accept flawed intel.
It's because they're stupid.
