George W Bush: ‘No Regrets’ over Decision to Invade Iraq
Source: Mediaite
Former President George W Bush told Bob Schieffer Sunday morning that he had no regrets over the decision to invade Iraq.
Bush was on to discuss his new book praising his father (and to honor Face The Nation’ss sixtieth anniversary). 43 insisted he did not invade Iraq to finish what his father started, and said he was surprised when Saddam Hussein called his bluff over the invasion, but didn’t regret the decision to go in.
“I think it was the right decision,” Bush said. “My regret is that a violent group of people has risen up again. This is al Qaeda plus. I put in the book that they need to be defeated. And I hope they are. I hope the strategy works.”

Actually, he does regret the rise of ISIS, but seems typically clueless regarding his responsibility for it.

(77,323 posts)A sociopath can be defined as a person who has Antisocial Personality Disorder. This disorder is characterized by a disregard for the feelings of others, a lack of remorse or shame, manipulative behavior, unchecked egocentricity, and the ability to lie in order to achieve one's goals. Sociopaths can be dangerous at worst or simply very difficult to deal with, and it's important to know if you've found yourself with a sociopath, whether it's someone you're dating or an impossible coworker. If you want to know how to spot a sociopath, then you have to pay careful attention to what the person says or does.

As to your question on where the WMDs were, I think Donnie Rumdum owes us an explanation. I remember him standing in front of a map of Iraq and squealing that the WMDs are "right here," pointing to Tikrit. Where are they?
If Rumsfeld & Co. try to squirm out of it by saying Iraq snuck them out, I don't buy that line. I remember another news report where the reporter was talking to a satellite techie from the military and he was showing the reporter footage of three people walking and the techie identified the tall, slender person in the white as Osama Bin Laden. Now, if we can identify individual people from satellite footage, you expect me to believe that a country can move its entire arsenal of WMDs without you detecting it?
As we say in my part of the country - that dog don't hunt!

Although some work for intelligence agencies and have no problem with police state tactics being used on 'those people.' They didn't care if private police dressed in black with no identification had pulled over someone as if it was a scene out of a movie. One day I was in a traffic jam inside a gas station parking lot with that going on.
I was not happy with it and I rolled my eyes and made my patented 'WTF is this shit' look. The guy, one of 'those people' who was the object of the freak's attention, looked me straight in the eye. He shrugged his shoulders and we both rolled our eyes. The he gave the 'SSDD' grin as if to say it was going to be alright. There was no nothing on the black SUV, no plates, nothing, but the freak had a radio and was calling it in and I didn't know who to call. How do you call the police when you see someone acting under the authority of law like a cop, but with no ID?
There was nothing to do but wait until the little freak dressed up like a commando decided that driving an old compact model car meant he was a criminal. It only meant he couldn't buy a luxury 4X4 SUVs that most people there just had to have to do... whatever they thought they had to right to do. Usually spin out on the freeway when it snowed. Because when they drive at high speed, thinking 4X4s will handle anything, they'll just spin out faster, but their egos believe they are above the laws of nature.
The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.
~ J. G. BALLARD
I couldn't get out of that region fast enough, which had been progressive and liberal and valued public works and services to make it easy for all to live there. The area became social stratified, with the landowners on the top, their workers reduced to sketchy ways to live or homelessness, everything was about family and religion, and no tolerance or compassionate for POC, the vulnerable or the poor. Drugs became a big problem. I knew a few people were left who held to compassionate views, but they were shut down by the aggressive regressives and made timid to hold onto their livelihoods.
Others saw the road that the area was taking and moved away. Heck, a lot of people moved away as property rights and RW aggression overcame the love of the environment there, which was very healing and beautiful. They had no more regard for wildlife, water or the ecosystem than they did for people. I wasn't fast enough to escape such deep psychic wounds that I can't even think of the place without feeling a sense of dread. I'd never even go back to visit it after spending nearly a decade of my life there, watching it morph into a sort of world where only RW speech and religion were allowed.
Now I gotta do stuff.

(22,685 posts)I believe to be a sociopath one is not necessarily intelligent to pull off the deceptions.
A lot of it is inborn, a congenital defect, as if a conscience is missing. In her book "The Sociopath next door" Dr. Stout claims that it's 4 percent of the population.
Once you feel certain you are dealing with a sociopath the best way to handle your own well being is complete detachment. At the least emotionally, if that's all that is possible.
I think many politicians have this defect. So we can vote them out.
Or in, as last week's elections proved.

(12 posts)It's far worse than that. Invading Iraq was the payoff for 9/11, a long term plan to control the Caspian Basin. The neocons would never have been able to garner public enough support, under false pretenses no less, to go to war against Saddam Hussein.

(12 posts)Just the facts 7962
On the morning of September 10, 2001, NORAD was conducting multiple war games, including computer simulated hijack scenarios, in the skies above the northeastern United States.
More than 70,000 American, British, and other NATO forces were positioned off the coasts of Pakistan, Oman and Egypt,in preparation for large scale naval exercises.
Six days earlier, on September 4th, senior White House officials had already signed off on plans to go to war in Afghanistan.
On September 10th, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld admitted to Congress that the Pentagon could not account for more than $2.3 trillion in expenditures.
Newsweek will later report that a group of top Pentagon brass abruptly canceled their travel plans for September 11th, citing unspecified security threats.
In the four trading days before 9/11, an unprecedented number of put options were placed on United and American Airlines, betting that their stock prices would fall.
On September 10th, former President George H. W. Bush attended an investor conference for the Carlyle Group, a private equity firm and major player in the military defense industry. The company honored Shafig bin Laden, a Carlyle investor and half-brother of Osama bin Laden.
CBS News will later report that 7000 miles away in Rawalpindi Pakistan, Osama bin Laden arrived at a military hospital to undergo kidney dialysis.
President George W. Bush flew to Florida, to honor two schools as part of his education initiative.
After resigning from the FBI in August, John O’Neill, America’s leading counter-terrorism expert, started his third week as the first head of security for the World Trade Center. O'Neill will die on 9/11.
7962
(11,841 posts)American Airlines had released a string of bad earnings prior to 9/11 and their price had fallen over 20% in the months leading up to 9/11. Your "unprecedented" number of put options were actually not much higher than normal, especially for a company looking at a rough year. Untied had also been having its troubles, and airline stocks tend to follow each other. I imagine there were also put options sold on Delta too.
Your war plans already signed is also full of holes. Action against AQ had been planned for months prior to9/11, but no firm place of action was set. If we were "ready to go" then why did it take over a month to start the air war and even longer to get troops to the area? We should have been on point within 72 hours.
War games off of pakistan? AND? Pacific war games happen regularly with the supposed allies of the region. So if it was all set up, these forces shouldve been able to respond immediately after 9/11. But they werent ready. because it was a training exercise.
Pentagon officials canceled their trips, huh? What officials were they? Were were they traveling to? From? Did you know the DoD issued a worldwide travel alert on 9/7 for military personnel? Did you know they also warned of threats to the US? Did you know that more Pentagon trips are cancelled or rescheduled than actually occur? No, because you've never worked for them.
NORAD exercises? Sure, they're ongoing constantly throughout the year, often several at the same time. When notified of the FIRST hijacking, within ONE minute all exercises were called off. And actually the fact that an exercise was going on helped the response on 9/11 because all the top people were on station and on duty.
Most of the stuff that Don Jacobs has put in his books is to make Don Jacobs money, not because its true. Prison Planet parrots everything he writes and adds in their own "how could this BE?" at every chance.
And we all know how the "bin Laden on dialysis" story ended up. There was no dialysis equipment ever found at his home and no evidence he needed it at the time of his death.
But enjoy yourself with all that. I'm sure youve got plenty of evidence that a jet didnt hit the Pentagon too. And that #7 was dropped on purpose. Next.

(12 posts)At 6:46 am, on September 11, 2001, two employees of the Odigo Messenger Service, a company based in Israel, received an instant message warning of imminent attacks against the United States. Odigo is based in Herzliya, a small town north of Tel Aviv, where the headquarters of the Mossad are located. http://www.prisonplanet.com/instant_messages_to_israel_warned_of_attack.htm
On September 6-7, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put option contracts on UAL versus 396 call options.
Unprecedented!
On September 10th, 4,516 put options were placed on American Airlines, compared with 748 call options.
Unprecedented!
On April 2001 Condoleeza Rice held the first White House Principals meeting on terrorism. Richard Clarke implored the committee to focus on Al Qaida. Paul Wolfowitz, who attended the meeting, in place of Secretary Rumsfeld, argued that any discussion of terrorism must include Iraq. It wasn't until September 4, that the Principals signed off on a plan to go after AQ.
On September 1, 2001, the London Telegraph reported that the aircraft carrier Illustrious had arrived in the Omani port of Salalah. Operation Swift Sword was the biggest naval deployment since the Falklands war."
Rear Admiral James Burnell-Nugent was the naval commander and characterized his forces as “ready to carry out any orders issued by the Government to join a strike against the training camps of Osama bin Laden.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/1358159/Illustrious-to-take-command-in-Swift-Sword-manoeuvres.html
It was just an exercise, you know.....
Newsweek reported on September 23, 2001 that "a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns." http://www.newsweek.com/bush-were-war-152089
"No, because you've never worked for them." Does that mean that you did? Do tell.
On September 11, 2001 The Pentagon and NORAD was conducting at least six exercises including Global Guardian, Crown Vigilance, Apollo Guardian, Northern Vigilance, Vigilant Guardian and Amalgam Warrior.
Global Guardian is an annual exercise, customarily held in October or November, not in September, as confirmed by the British American Security Information Council, Space Observer and NBC military analyst William Arkin. For some reason, In 2001, the Pentagon decided to move it.
http://www.historycommons.org/entity.jsp?entity=global_guardian
Curiously enough, Operation Vigilant Guardian, which began on September 8th, simulated hijacked planes in the north eastern sector of the Unites States. As part of the exercise, false “injects” are transmitted onto radar screens, throughout all of NORAD. http://www.911research.wtc7.net/cache/planes/defense/torontostar_russiangame.html
On September 11, 2001, Col. Robert M. Marr Jr., battle commander for the North East Aerospace Defense Command (NEADS) recalled later that: “At one time I was told that across the nation there were some 29 different reports of hijackings.”
http://web.archive.org/web/20050519084002/http:/www.newhousenews.com/archive/baker033105.html
How could Osama Bin Laden manage that?
I am not Don Jacobs, never heard of him.
There are two possible reasons there was no dialysis equipment ever found at bin Laden's home. First and foremost, he was already DEAD.
FOX NEWS, citing information from the Pakistan Observer, Fox News reported on December 26, 2001 that: “Osama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication."
http://www.foxnews.com/story/2001/12/26/report-bin-laden-already-dead/
On May 3, 2011 Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Steve R. Pieczenik, who served five U.S. administrations, insisted that not only was he informed that Osama bin Laden died in late 2001, but told directly, by a high ranking member of the U.S. military, that 9/11 was a false flag operation.
Dr. Pieczenik doubted the credibility of the killing of Osama bin Laden, maintaining that bin Laden suffered from Marfan Syndrome.
“Did the intelligence community or the CIA doctor up this situation? The answer is yes, categorically yes. This whole scenario where you see a bunch of people sitting there looking at a screen and they look as if they’re intense, that’s nonsense. It’s a total make-up, make believe, we’re in an American theater of the absurd. Why are we doing this again….nine years ago this man was already dead….why does the government repeatedly have to lie to the American people?”

Finally 7962, if that is your real name, Building 7 at the World Trade center collapsed at 5:20 pm, twenty three minutes after the BBC reported it. World Trade Center 7 conveniently collapsed into its own footprint. The 47 story building fell in 6.6 seconds, 0.6 of a second longer than it would have taken a free-falling object, dropped from the roof, to hit the ground.
World Trade Center 7 was not hit by a plane, suffered only minor structural damage, and had isolated fires on a few floors. Credible demolitions experts, identify a characteristic kink as the building comes down, where the building begins to fold inwards after the central support beams are blown.
I recommend that you Research Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (http://www.ae911truth.org/) or Google Danny Jowenko.
There's much more to the story 7962, if you would bother to look. Oh, that's right, we're not supposed to know....

(11,841 posts)They had just announced even more bad earnings news. You can even read all that. ALL airlines stocks were being shorted, except Southwest.Already answered all your other points. And now you're inserting stuff that doesnt even have anything to DO with 9/11. Waiting for what REALLY hit the Pentagon!!
It would take THOUSANDS of people to pull off what you and your comrades insist was possible. And keep their mouths shut.
Hell, I witnessed a demolition 2 weeks before 9/11. It was a large smokestack. There was a team of guys onsite for 2 weeks prior to dropping it. A smokestack with no buildings around it. But a few guys in overalls could bring down 2 of the biggest bldgs in the country. Sure.

(10,789 posts)...at least as far as energy supplies go. The PTB at the time had more or less given up on the US as a long-term oil producer and were looking at foreign regions as the next "great game" to secure long-term prosperity. One of the biggest undeveloped fields was Kashagan in the Caspian. That would have been a big deal, except it has wound up being more difficult to ramp up production there, and much easier to ramp up production here.
And, of course, the whole strategy fell on its face politically and militarily long before its purpose disappeared.

On September 23, 1994, David Rockefeller spoke to the United Nations Business Council in New York City.
“This present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for too long. We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order.”
That was the dream. The Rockefeller family, which has controlled the CFR, for the best part of 90 years, gave marching orders to the neoconservatives. The rest is infamy.

(8,200 posts)People had better not forget that his brother, Jeb, was a member of the Program for the Next American Century that insisted on the invasion of Iraq. They attempted to prevail on Bush 41 to invade and he deterred as did Clinton. When they managed to get Jeb's brain dead brother elected it was a slam dunk when 7/11 handed them the excuse to invade. It was the "Pearl Harbor" that they had longed for.
The sad fact is that the MSM refused to inform the citizens of the stated intentions of the PNAC members who dominated the Bush administration. Nearly everyone of the senior members of his administration were members of the PNAC. The MSM is still protecting Bush and his brother Jeb from any guilt for this disaster.
A democracy can only function if it has an independent 4th estate that keeps the citizens informed. Our press is nothing more than a two-bit propaganda machine for the right wing that is owned body and soul by the greedy 1% percent and a pack of war mongers.

The fact that this man is still free is sadness personified. That he is brought on television for his own aggrandizement is mind boggling. I want to know why there wasn't any real followup questions. Schieffer is an empty suit hosting a puff peace for a fricking war criminal who is directly responsible for the deaths of more than 4000 Americans, and countless Iraqi men, women and children. I can't figure out what is wrong with so many important elements of our society.

(606 posts)Let's see what the Democratic Leadership Council, the third way outfit that Bill Clinton chaired, had to say about the Iraq War:
The DLC gave strong support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Prior to the war, Will Marshall co-signed a letter to President Bush from the Project for the New American Century endorsing military action against Saddam Hussein. During the 2004 Primary campaign the DLC attacked Presidential candidate Howard Dean as an out-of-touch liberal because of Dean's anti-war stance. The DLC dismissed other critics of the Iraq invasion such as filmmaker Michael Moore as members of the "loony left".[14] Even as domestic support for the Iraq War plummeted in 2004 and 2005, Marshall called upon Democrats to balance their criticism of Bush's handling of the Iraq War with praise for the President's achievements and cautioned "Democrats need to be choosier about the political company they keep, distancing themselves from the pacifist and anti-American fringe."[15]
(Per Wikipedia entry on the Democratic Leadership Council)
