In reply to the discussion: Bush links Clinton to rise of Islamic State [View all]restorefreedom
(12,655 posts)23. wow is this gonna be an ugly campaign
even uglier than it.s been. as much as i hold all those responsible who voted for the war, including clinton, the vote started, of course, with darth cheney cooking the books, trying to sell people a link between sadam and 911 which never existed, and oh, yeah, who was in that plane that was able to fly out of the country on 911?
there is a lot of blame to go around. but for jebbie to put the blame on clinton while ignoring the role his brother AND HIS FATHER had in setting this all up is typical republican slime and the golden, beaming crown of hypocrisy.
