A person who has HIGHEST approval rating in history?

[Unkotare]

- ignored the international community and called them cowards for not backing his Iraq invasion

48 countries supported the Iraq invasion, and 40 contributed troops to operations there.

 

[Unkotare]

- Abandoned the war on terror to invade Iraq

The War in Iraq was, of course, part of the larger war on terror.

 

[Unkotare]

- Lied about Iraq having WMDs and being involved in 9-11

That is, of course, not true.

 

[Unkotare]

It's amazing isn't it?

That Bush had such overwhelming national and international support after 9-11. To think what Bush could have accomplished

Instead, Bush made the following blunders

- ignored the international community and called them cowards for not backing his Iraq invasion
- Abandoned the war on terror to invade Iraq
- Lied about Iraq having WMDs and being involved in 9-11
- Ignored human rights and locked up people in Gitmo without charges and without a trial
- Engaged in TORTURE
- Botched the number of troops on the ground in Iraq

As a result, Bushs approval ratings dropped from 86% to 26%

Abandoned War on Terror... HOw do you think Osama was killed... Obama didn't think the plan up as NAIVELY you must think???
LIed about WMDs??
THEN WHAT DID THESE people do???

BEFORE BUSH ... When CLINTON was President...
"..deny Iraq the capacity to develop WMD".Bill Clinton,1998
"..most brutal dictators of Century", Biden,1998
"Iraq compliance with Resolution 687 becomes shell game"..Daschle 1998
"He will use those WMDs again,as he has ten times since 1983" ..Berger- Clinton National. Security. Advisor 1998
"posed by Iraq's refusal to end its WMD programs" Levin 1998
"Saddam has been engaged in development of WMDs which is a threat.."Pelosi 1998
"Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building WMDS.."Albright 1999


" Ignored human rights and locked up people in Gitmo without charges and without a trial"
Are you really that naive??? GEEZ these terrorists in GITMO were NEVER covered under the geneva conventions which are countries... these guys never belonged!
They were TRIED under MILITARY rules cause this is a "WAR on TERRORISM" you get it???

TORTURE??? 3 guys held under water boarding! THE SAME TORTURE used in our military training!!!

But why are you responding because YOU don't believe any of the events occurred. Bush was the boogie man because YOU believe EVERYTHING you read!

Coalition of the willing?

Tonga, Latvia, Mongolia sending a few dozen token troops?

Where was Mexico, France, Germany......Canada?

They all told Bush he was crazy and that Iraq was no threat. Bush told them "My way or the highway" and called them cowards. A glaring reason why Bush's overwhelming global support disappeared

Typical liberal. When proven wrong it's 'yeah but yeah but' and trying to move the goal posts. Predictable.

Oh please....save me your childishness

Diplomatically they did not call him crazy. However they did call his assertions of an imminent Iraqi threat to be unfounded, the UN told Bush to wait, UN weapons inspectors told Bush there was no evidence. Even NATO wouldn't back him

It was a blunder of epic proportions that will be the Bush legacy

YOU are such an idiot!
First you write: "his assertions of an imminent Iraqi threat "

Here is what Bush said :
Briefing Room | The White House
"Some have said we must not act until the threat is imminent.
Since when have terrorists and tyrants announced their intentions, politely putting us on notice before they strike?
If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come too late. Trusting in the sanity and restraint of Saddam Hussein is not a strategy, and it is not an option."

NOW A) he never said Iraq was an imminent threat! He said WHY must we wait till they are?
B) And his point was we WAITED until

Some people ignore that Islamics have been attacking the United States long before September 11, 2001.

So Bush was saying "Geez... Saddam had PAID $35 million to terrorist families..
1) According to employees of the Iraqi Central Bank and the Rafidain Bank, the former Iraqi ambassador to Jordan, Sabah Yassen, withdrew money from the accounts to make payments ranging from $15,000 to $25,000 to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers, Hyde said.

Palestinians have said Saddam paid more than $35 million to families of Palestinians killed or wounded in the conflict with Israel that began in September 2000.
Since then, Palestinians have carried out 117 suicide bombings, killing 494 Israelis and others.

2) Saddam had Terrorist training camps!!!
THE FORMER IRAQI REGIME OF Saddam Hussein trained thousands of radical Islamic terrorists from the region at camps in Iraq over the four years immediately preceding the U.S. invasion, according to documents and photographs recovered by the U.S. military in postwar Iraq. The existence and character of these documents has been confirmed to THE WEEKLY STANDARD by eleven U.S. government officials.
Saddam's Terror Training Camps | The Weekly Standard


SO PLease SHOW me where Bush SAID WE SHOULD WAIT till Saddam was an imminent threat BECAUSE HE WAS!!!
