The WSJ says “the President owes George W. Bush an apology for his ex post facto criticism of U.S. intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan. Mr. Trump is pursuing the Bush freedom agenda, at least in the Western Hemisphere.”

The WSJ asks whether Trump supporters are all neocons now.

I’ve been saying that a Trumpist is just a neocon in different clothing.

The Wall Street Journal Agrees.

If that was not enough the WSJ says that, like Iraq, Trump needs to nation build Venezuela during our “occupation.’

I guess the WSJ forgot what a raving success Iraq was.

At any rate: Trump = W.

Trump is W. without the brains.

And we all remember how that turned out....NO WMD and the Iraqi people were fucked over big time.
 
Well, the editorial board of the WSJ is pretty conservative, relative to the rest of the left wing extremists, but that is ONLY the Editorial board. The rest of the paper is significantly left wing.

However, I'm pretty sure Trump just pointed and laughed.

They are jumping ahead. They shouldn't make such a comparison as at this juncture it isn't comparable.

This guy stole an election and oil owned by U.S companies in addition to sending poisons to America. Trump acted swiftly and in a short term operation, he isn't sending trillions into the war abyss to benefit the M.I.C
 
Bush is a Communist in Republican clothing. He's part of the Oligachy puppet regieme.

BOTH Bushes did their best to destroy this country, just like Obozo.

Trump is a businessman, running the goverment AS a business, not his personal playtoy and personal ATM.

Many presidents agendas get noted as being the same, even though they are not. They all have different expected outcomes.
Halthing Venuzuelas dumping of deadly drugs in this country is as paramount as securing the borders all around us, and cleaning out the illegals from all other countries that have set up shop here.

Your post is ludicrous and screams of leftist lunacy.
 
Obama and Biden did also so why so surprised if Trump does also?
 
Because Trumpers love to say they are not Bushies. They are in fact just like Bushies. I would bet nearly all of them were W. supporters at one point.

Democrats didn't say the same thing? Obama like Trump didn't promise to start new wars?

If Trump said tomorrow he is sending 100,000 soldiers into Iran, he would lose me and his supporters.

There are lines. He hasn't crossed them.

There is a reason the military recruitment is up, as I loudly predicted on here by the way when Trump won; they trust that he is NOT going to send them into some excursion that isn't a legitimate threat to Americas survival or national security.

Trump doesn't want to emulate Bush and be cursed on the lips of so many widows and family members of Americans (and other nations) who came home in a casket. He can be a harsh guy at times but I believe he truly wants to preserve life where possible, especially American lives.

It's insane to compare a 20 year war as started by Bush to Trump directing rapid, fine tuned professional operations. He is using the old German approach of the blitzkrieg, absent the expansion of territory obviously: "go hard, overwhelm, achieve the objective and move on".

It's better to send 120 ships and 200 highly skilled soldiers to achieve victory in the objective in a rapid manner than to fail miserably as Kennedy did during the Bay of Pigs because he didn't provide the necessary support.

Nonsense. The rest of the paper is about business and finance.

I don't necessarily disagree with your premise. Libya was a mistake and I did not agree with Biden's middle east policies.

However, nothing Obama/Biden said or did compares to Trump's threats against Canada, Greenland and our allies nor did they ever say that any military action was commenced to take over a country's resources. The only President who ever came close to that admission was, fittingly, W.

There is nothing comparable about what happened in Iraq and what happened in Venezuela

Any time you refuse to condemn your guy, it only gets worse with the next.

If Obama had been held accountable, there is no Trump.

I agree with you. However the derogation of Article 1 , Section 8, cl 11, of the Constitution i.e. only Congress can declare war, has been eroding since the Korean War. It especially was neutered with the invasion of Panama when GHW Bush essentially just ignored Congress.

I disagree with you that if there was no Obama there would be no Trump. The precedent was set way before Obama came to office.

Why would any condemn Trump for arresting Madero?

I didn't say "no Obama".

I stand corrected. It is up to Congress to rein in the war powers of the president. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen in the near future. Whenever a president is elected and his party controls Congress, they are unlikely to take any power away. It is just the way it is.

If Obama was held accountable for Libya, I don't think it would have mattered. Trump has the most spineless Congress in history.
