George W. Bush Bashes Obama on Middle East

[kaz]

That diplomatically retarded ************ has no right to criticize anything at all concerning the Middle-east.

Right, so when a black man does the same thing W did, it's OK, he's black

The point here is that Obama is not doing what Bush would have done which is escalate tensions and continually try to make our on the ground military involvement bigger, wider and more profitable for the MIC.

Been too busy posting to read the news the last six years? Obama has done nothing to reduce our involvement in the middle east. He followed W's timeline in Iraq and he expanded Afghanistan while also attacking Libya, trying to attack Syria until Putin outflanked him and being all over Egypt's shit pissing them off. But hey, he's black, no biggie

Again... exactly what Bush was saying:
George W. Bush Bashes Obama on Middle East - Bloomberg View
Bush then went into a detailed criticism of Obama’s policies in fighting the Islamic State and dealing with the chaos in Iraq.
On Obama’s decision to withdraw all U.S. troops in Iraq at the end of 2011, he quoted Senator Lindsey Graham calling it a “strategic blunder.”
Bush signed an agreement with the Iraqi government to withdraw those troops, but the idea had been to negotiate a new status of forces agreement to keep U.S. forces there past 2011.
The Obama administration tried and failed to negotiate such an agreement.

What this means is Obama politically adroit kept his ill-conceived promise to do what NO other C-I-C did ignore the warnings of his military leaders and
as wont with people of his ilk other people i.e. Iraqis are now suffering from his premature evacation decisions!

"In a closed-door meeting with Jewish Donors Saturday night, former President George W. Bush delivered his harshest public criticisms to date against his successor on foreign policy, saying that President Barack Obama is being naïve about Iran and the pending nuclear deal and losing the war against the Islamic State. ...
Bush said that Obama’s plan to lift sanctions on Iran with a promise that they could snap back in place at any time was not plausible. He also said the deal would be bad for American national security in the long term: “You think the Middle East is chaotic now? Imagine what it looks like for our grandchildren. That’s how Americans should view the deal.”

Bush said he views the rise of the Islamic State as al-Qaeda’s "second act” and that they may have changed the name but that murdering innocents is still the favored tactic. He defended his own administration’s handling of terrorism, noting that the terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who confessed to killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, was captured on his watch: “Just remember the guy who slit Danny Pearl’s throat is in Gitmo, and now they're doing it on TV.”

No one needs W to make the case Obabble is a total asshole. It's like testifying to the sun rising in the east.

...anytime a truly ridiculous thread pops up I'm bound to check it. Can't help it.

Truly Ridiculous? Former President Bush has not said a word about his replacement's policies since he left office, 6 1/2 years ago.

When he finally does, he states that your peasantpimp has screwed up US policy on every possible foreign policy front. This a confirmation of every reasonable observer on the planet.

So... the only person on earth who had not come forward to recognize that obama is a presidential catastrophe, has finally come forward, and you feel that such is 'ridiculous'.

All of which simply demonstrates that it is YOU who are ridiculous.

 

[Where_r_my_Keys]

When will all the RWnuts come rushing into this thread to attack Bush, a former president, for criticizing the current president?

or have they conveniently flip flopped on that principle?

ROFLMNAO!

Poor Gilligan. The first President in US History to wait 6-1/2 years to criticize the catastrophic policies of his replacement and for the Board IDIOT, THAT'S TOO SOON!

 

[mudwhistle]

Dubya's responsible for the current Mid East situation. He should have stayed holed up and quiet.

Yeah.....just like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter did.....

Obama didn't WANT to make such an agreement! So he FAILED to keep troops in Iraq which in turn would have
kept ISIS at bay! THAT you idiot is what Obama failed at doing...listening to his military and using common sense!
Why didn't he like you have a real understanding like our government has had over the past 70 years... i.e. we still have troops in Europe/Asia after WWII!
Idiots like you and Obama obviously are so ignorant of reality and history!!!

How can you rewrite the facts?
Obama failed to negotiate what the US and Bush AND most important the military knew as a grave security issue, i.e. withdrawal of all troops.
Oh and by the way even military dummies LIKE ME know that if the USA still has troops in Europe/Asia 70 years after their surrender in WWII... geez...
what idiot would think the people you love and have deep respect for the terrorists that you and your ilk LOVE to see kill USA troops they now have free reign!
With idiots like you and the below making statements the barbarians that used kids to bomb soldiers...i.. what you love to see...


Remember Kerry EARLIER wanted Bush to:
"Without a question, we need to disarm Saddam. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime .... to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real .... "Kerry , Jan . 23. 2003
then this now SOS... calling our troops TERRORISTS!!!
Senator Kerry (D) "American soldiers going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children."

U.S. Rep. John Murtha(D)"Our troops killed innocent civilians in cold blood,”
NOTE: Do you not believe the terrorists LOVED to hear our troops were cold blooded killers???

Durbin (D) "must have been done by Nazis, Soviets"--action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners.

then Senator Obama said "troops are air-raiding villages and killing civilians,"

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid(D) "The war is lost, the surge is not accomplishing anything "

I think bush made some interesting points about certain third world countries but it was a mistake to have an aggressive posture against them WITHOUT PUBLIC SUPPORT. The strong democrAtic tendencies of Americans simply makes doing such a thing impossible. The same can be said about obamacare. In both cases there is strong public resistance against them.

"George W. Bush Bashes Obama on Middle East"

Given the fact GWB started two failed, illegal wars in the region, he's in no position to 'bash' any president concerning the ME.

He's come down with an acute case of Cheneyism.

Be assured, the neocons will be trying to rewrite the history of Iraq from now until every one of them is dead.

For all the good it will do them.

GWB's failed, illegal wars will be as historically infamous as the Gulf of Tonkin charade, if not more so.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

I remember when the left was saying after Bush left office he and Cheney would face "war crimes". LOL Leftist's live in a fantasy world

Perfect example of the far left mentality..

History of Iraq started in 2003 and caused 9/11..

Even more far left propaganda based on the far left religious texts of the history of Iraq starting in 2003 which caused 9/11
