ExpandMyMind Posted May 19, 2022 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I laughed. I’m not a good human being. Was kinda good to see him admit the truth about Iraq. It might have been a gaffe, but his, ‘Well, Iraq too’ definitely wasn’t. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiXilver Posted May 19, 2022 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Ah Good Ole Georgie 'The Decider' Bush... what a useful tool he was to those with actual influence. Just went along with whatever carrot was dangled in front of him. He's got to be the most relieved President in our history. Since the Great Pumpkin came along, he's no longer the bottom of the trough. If he's even aware enough to recognize the shift that is...

I know, but, if there is any president in the world, past and current, that I would like to have a beer or two with and a good chat and few laughs it would be G. Dubya B.

Knob Oddy Posted May 19, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I never thought I would agree with the war monger Bush, but I agree his invasion of Iraq was unjustifiable and brutally killed innocent civilians by the hundreds of thousands. Unfortunately for Bush, it was his actions and lies that enabled it. But we demonize Putin (and rightly so) for the exact same actions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Wearer of Hats Posted May 19, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Does anyone else nowadays fondly remember the time when Bush and his occasional gaffes were the most serious thing going on it the realm of first world politics?

Fun times. I remember the time differently. After the towers fell, there was an irrational desire for retribution. People who were anti war and stating facts like "saddam had nothing to do with the attacks" and "17 of the 19 terrorists were Saudi, not Afghani or iraqi" were roundly criticized as terrorist sympathizers. The fact that dropping bombs on civilians would cause more terrorists was ignored. It was a scary time for me, but not as scary as it was for Iraqi civilians, along with others, but it was the first time I saw the mass psychosis that the media could use to brainwash everyday people into hating others for no reason 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
