Ms. Maddow does have some valid points.
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow: Bush to blame for Ukraine - Washington Times
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow asserted Monday that George W. Bush, who exited office in 2009, is ultimately at fault for the current Ukrainian crisis.
Ms. Maddow told colleague Andrea Mitchell that Mr. BushÂ’s entire Middle East policy has led to several overseas conflicts, from the Iraq War to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine dispute.
“The decisions of our generation on national security are determined more than anything by what the George W. Bush administration did with that nine-year war in Iraq and, alongside it, a 13-year war in Afghanistan that’s still going on,” Ms. Maddow said during a discussion about her new documentary, “Why We Did It.”
“Those are the determinative constraints for our thinking about everything, from Crimea, to Syria, to what the overall size of the U.S. military is,” she said.
Only if one accepts her fantasy that Bush 's order to invade was unwarranted.
It had the law behind it. It had the Democrat's approval. Saddam could have made clear his lack of WMD's if that was the case or fess up and/or dispose of them. He was also given time to remove himself and spare the country.
Maddow NEEDS to have a reason to attack the Right and especially Bush, so she conveniently furthers the false narrative that W was a total megalomaniacal renegade cowboy dunce nazi war criminal and has drawn at least SOME of the arrows away from Dear Leader.
She is a regular manipulator.
And those who fall for her manipulations are possessed of bad judgment.
So bad, in fact, they don't even recognize how much and how often her rationales cause them to be ridiculed on these pages.
It takes MORE than having good intentions.
