Scathing Condemnation of George W Bush- How George W. Bush Helped Osama Bin Laden Win His War

[Martin Eden]

17. The OP mischaracterizes what took us to war in Iraq

The invasion launched in March 2003 wasn't about a dumb cowboy president avenging his father; it was the war the neocons were salivating over before the SCOTUS placed Bush in the White House. 9/11 provided the "new Pearl Harbor" they needed as a pretext for their Project. GW was the junior partner to Dick Cheney, and the rest of the administration was a who's who of PNAC operatives. Dim Son was merely the frontman.

The OP is correct in poiting out they are to blame for the ongoing collapse of the late great United States. Getting mired in two long term extremely costly wars of occupation was exactly what Osama bin Laden wanted in response to 9/11; like all weaker adversaries, the key was to provoke his enemy into using its own strength against itself.

Blaming it all on Shrub provides cover for what really happened -- and for the neocons who still infiltrate Washington (and were going to be key members of the Rom,ney administration).

Our country is a long way from coming to grips with what happened and how we got to where we are now.
