The elder Bush didn’t “start” a war.

This is a loaded question. Not fighting in a war that already exists for decades is not “didn’t start a war”. Assisting the enemy in said war via giving them billions in cash is worse than not fighting.

All religions and people are not equal no matter how good it would be if they were. 2+2=4 even if believing that it is 5 is adopted in the minds of delusional people.

We're not really in a war now. If this is a war, then every POTUS has gone to war.

Yep, Obama order tens of thousands of bombing raids into Syria, but that (D)ifferent.
Obama also bombed Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya. But again, (D)ifferent.

How do you define “war”? How do you define “get us into” a war?

I guess Reagan. That’s if you don’t count Granada.

Bush Sr. “Got us into” the first Gulf War, in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

Bush Jr. got us into Afghanistan in response to 911 and then went after Saddam in Iraq.

Then there’s Trump. He did not get us into a war during the 1st term, but attacked Iran along with Israel in the 2nd.

Probably a few military actions I’m missing.



You are forgetting Bush Jr got us into Iraq when he lied about Saddam having WMD

War and Democrats have a long and very friendly history. Tradionally, it was the GOP who was drug heels on war.

We are definitely in a war. Saying otherwise is silly. And I’m in favor of this war.
