Welp, W's rehab is complete.

1. The war criminal?

And Liz' daddy, the other war criminal?

9. He's never been charged. I doubt he will.

Congress is really the only avenue to do something and they didn’t probably because except for ages they all voted for war.

12. Doesn't mean he still isn't one

4. Good speech, but he should still be on his knees begging America and the world for forgiveness.

Dubya stampeded and deceived the country into an unnecessary war in Iraq, disgracefully using that war mongering as an election tool to help Republicans. That war led to the creation of ISIS, which had its origins in Iraq. In turn, that led to savage acts of terrorism and a refugee crisis. In turn, that led to the nationalism that spawned Brexit and Trump. Dubya is Trump's political father.

Dubya created Guantanamo. Dubya supervised a dramatic rise of the "security state," rife with mere "security theater" and paranoia. Dubya tortured. Dubya started the nation building in Afghanistan...

It's good to hear Dubya "carefully" call out nativism and discrimination against Muslims and refugees in a speech. But if he really wants to atone, he's going to have to do a lot better than that.

13. Amen to that

5. He's always been Lawful Evil

He likes the laws that keep the peasants under control and quiet. But he’d still invade Iraq for his wealthy good ol boys for the happily paid price of a few thousand enlisted men’s blood.

6. Looking back at "W's" 8 years as president.

By the end you could see him finally beginning to realize how badly he had been used by others around him, and how stupid he had been.
This is not to say I feel sorry for him, or am praising him in any way.
He was always just a pretty frat boy who was never worthy of any of the governmental positions he held.
But, in the end, he did start to become self-aware...a big step for him.
I'm happy to see him stand up for the nation, and reject the party of Trump that the Republicans have transformed into.
I wonder if he realizes how much of that shit was present in the party all the time that he was active politically. I also wonder if he realized how much damage he did to the nation with his "war on terror" that was never done to defeat terrorism, only to give the electorate the impression the Republicans truly wanted to end terrorism.
The illusion of a "war on terror" kept their base stirred up and helped them not only stay in power, but get rich in the meantime.
It also eventually grew into a Republican base that was not much different from the terrorists the Republican leadership claimed to be fighting.

We can thank the Republicans for nurturing fear, anger, hatred and even violence in a segment of the American Public that has now become the American Taliban; advocates of Christian Sharia.

11. He most recently helped Brett Kavanaugh get

appointed to the Supreme Court. Bush's appointment at their hands left a crack in our democracy that opened the door for everything that happened in the last 20 years. There were times on this forum when we wondered if he was responsible for 9/11. His administration left a big, ugly stain on this country that we are still trying to deal with. His remarks today are laudable. I think he believes what he is saying. 45 certainly makes him look like a far better president than he actually was. I'll never forget him sitting in that classroom with his eyes darting around looking like he was wondering who screwed him over and his inaction for however long after costing precious time in our response.

15. I'm glad he said that. But his legacy will stand.

And it’s not a good one.

17. He is the Teflon Bush

over his head in the shit and he comes out smelling like roses.

Wasn't elected he was selected.
He help the forward the legion of boom, roberts, kav and coney-barrett all worked on that landmark case.

Hired Karl Rove and yet pretended like he never knew him. Dirty and illegal tricks and yet bush knew nothing

Pushed the patriot act knowing it made the government less accountable and allowed them to keep a closer eye on citizens then it would have ever been allowed if people knew what was in it.

Created a legacy of torture and denied the F out of it.

Started a two country war
Didn't win either, never dealt with them at all the last few years.

Ler his DOD prop up the Tillman Lie, why cause it was the middle of election season and he wars were not going well.

Let the shit wing media Smear a true war hero John Kerry and while he pretty much deserted his service.

Pretty much tanked the economy by letting banks do whatever they wanted gambling the market and then he bailed a select few, not just propping them up, giving them interest free loans to make them bigger then before, while the little people went bankrupt.
