President Bush The Smarter Has Passed Away

[Brian37]

Bush Sr.'s critical blunder was in not finishing the job of the First Gulf War and taking out Saddam. The Americans encouraged the Iraqi people to launch an uprising against Saddam, which they did in 1991, but they sat back and watched as Saddam exterminated them. Bush Jr. didn't shy away from finishing what his dad started and that's why I respect him more than his dad.

Now I can understand why American people oppose the war. They didn't feel it was necessary to sacrifice the lives of thousands of their own troops to liberate a foreign country half way across the world. But from my perspective, the fall of Saddam was a great thing and all credit goes to Bush.

Similarly, I appreciate whoever's decision it was and whoever really pushed for the campaign to bomb Gaddafi and help the rebels capture him. Apparently this was the work of Hillary and though Obama was president, he was weak in foreign policy and it was Hillary who pushed him for it (correct me if I'm wrong).

I'm quite sure that if Hillary was president she would have likewise gotten rid of Assad.

The fall of these 2 fascist dictators (Saddam and Gaddafi) had greatly alarmed the Middle East autocrats.

I didn't appose the first Iraq war. I look back at that and only agree that Sr should have finished the job. He falsely bet that after beating him back to the capital his own countrymen would take him out, but did not. Even though it failed, the intent of not taking him out was to send the message to the Arab world was that we were not going to be colonialist but they would have to want to take him out themselves. 

Jr however was wrong, because it was way after the fact and the dust had settled and Iraq was not invading another country. Plus they lied their way into that war and there were no WMDs. I have no love for Saddam, but the second war was falsely attached to Afghanistan and 9/11 when the hijackers were all from Saudi Arabia. 

And as far as Obama being weak that is bullshit, he did what Jr did not do in 8 years, he killed Bin Laden.
