Did we ever get an explanation for the two decades war in the middle east?

Clinton's FBI was asleep at the wheel and could have prevented 9/11, they knew about all these guys, and Bush (or he knew himself) was lied to about WMD.

So because our intelligence screwed up and allowed 9/11 to happen, and our intelligence screwed up again about WMDs, we get 4,000 dead troops, patriot act, TSA, and trillions and trillions of dollars spent in the sand box for what?

This is why I think GWB has to go down as the worst president in the modern era

Obama and Trump didn't do nearly as much damage

Biden is essentially a vegetable at this point but doing nothing is better than being George Bush

Israel lied and said they saw Al Qaeda getting anthrax from Iraqi officials in Prague. That was the "intel" that roped us into Iraq.

The Clean Break Memo from the 1990's essentially lays out their plans.

War by Deception is a good intro.

We don't need an explanation.

Ever since FDR, the MIC has deliberately kept us in a state of "War Against [insert excuse]" to keep us paying more than our fair share of taxes.

This government was NEVER meant to make people rich. In fact, the Constitution explicitly is designed to prevent that. Yet the 95% of warmongers in DC keep voting themselves into new pay increases...

A goddamn bird brained, airhead bartender from NY got herself elected to the House and just bought a fricking TESLA. Think about that.

The explanation for war was money for the ruling class, period.

He knew damn well that Iraq wasn't a player in this and went anyway...

FIFY. Why do you think they want to keep power so badly? Government is the new age Mob.

For GW to be able to sit back and self righteously paint dead war heroes for charity.

She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at fifteen clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well, I knew what I could not say

Washington DC became so much richer over the last 20 years, the explanation is self evident. Maybe not the impetus, but the reason it's never stopped, at least.

As a young conservative finishing college, but completely opposed to the Iraq War, I felt ostracized by ALL conservatives. Practically made me think I was a liberal.

Don't undersell Obama taking the Bush "stimulus" and baselining the damn thing. People used to scream about GWB having a 400 billion deficit; it was over a trillion and would have stayed that way if Obama had been able to continue to get his way. Sequester was the only thing that got it back down, and now we have a turnip with Obama acolytes pulling his strings.

Wasn't just Clinton's FBI. The FBI under Bush also tried to escalate the threat and let the top guys they knew where these hijackers were....fell on deaf ears...this was all planned and Clinton and Bush knew about it.
