W. Bush rarely publicly 2nd guesses his successors. Makes an exception on Biden and Afghanistan
"Afghan women and girls are going to suffer unspeakable harm. This is a mistake. ... They're just going to be left behind to be slaughtered https://cbsnews.com/news/george-w-bush-withdrawal-of-us-nato-troops-afghanistan-mistake/

GW is not a fan of the buffoon, if I am not mistaken all the Bush family actually voted for Biden. And, if I recall correctly, he said that trump was so bad that it was making him look good.
Of course that his comment is ludicrous when he was the one who created the mess in Iraq, so...to paraphrase the Rude Pundit, "Fuck you George W. Bush"

(2,474 posts)Instead of the timeline where Ellen and Michelle mug with an unrepentant war criminal, I want to live in the one where DuhBya has been sentenced to pick up bomb rubble around Tikrit, tend the graves of the city's war dead, and polish the shoe monument for an hour per day for the rest of his life.

(6,821 posts)He emerges from under his rock to bitch about Biden shutting down his endless war. And using right wing half truth talking points to make his case. Why not get all the officers who pulled these stooges into their lair with promises they knew they couldn't keep and have them explain it.

(8,734 posts)Maybe people that profited the most off the war like him, Cheney, Black water leader, Rumsfeld, military weapon manufacturers, will step up and start paying now to keep forces there. And chip in a few dimes for what it has cost for 20 years. And most of these pay no taxes. Not to mention how many did not send there children there to die for a war that never ends in Afghanistan for centuries. We have terror right here assholes. An entire party is pushing American deaths from virus, guns, white terrorist and climate change. Fiscal conservative shit stains. And after Trump I was thinking, hell Bush did not achieve my level of hate for a president and party. I was wrong. GQP all deserve my level of hate. Curb stomp the lot of em.

(9,966 posts)that Dick Cheney was really the president during that time and Shrub was only a convenient figurehead to be trotted out at suitable moments. He was too dumb to be a real president. And Cheney was too hateful to have gotten elected, so they had to have somebody.
Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld = The Asses of Evil.
