re: What George W. Bush Really Thought of Donald Trump’s Inauguration

quote:

That war, in which he glories, although I wish, how I wish he would put on a hat and pick up a gun, and go and fight himself. How I wish to see that sight. That war in which Bush and the neocons glory has cost the lives, according to the Lancet, of well in excess of half a million people. And hundreds of thousands more have been maimed and wounded. And it was all for a PACK OF LIES. There were no weapons of mass destruction. There was no link between Iraq and al-Qaeda, there was no link between Iraq and the atrocities of 9-11. There was no welcome for the foreign armies that invaded Iraq. And there are 4,000 young Americans LYING IN THE GROUND NOW. And thousands and thousands more, wounded, maimed, many of them in wheelchairs, for the rest of their lives. All testament to the folly of Bush and the rest of the neocon gang that dragged America into this disaster.

All accurate

The neocons are really just the Israeli wing of Washington. Everything they do is to serve Israel first and foremost.

Israel was the biggest factor for us entering war in the region. If Israel wants us there we will be there. Then they pay off congressmen with AIPAC dollars to get their support.

I have posted a video on this board multiple times from PBS News Hour about how Israel was the one who cheerleaded our involvement in the Middle East the most. And why is that? So US forces can defeat Israel's enemies for them. That way Israel doesn't have to do the dirty work. They just need a boogeyman to pull it off. Hence, Al-Qaeda, and now, ISIS.
