Bush and Unfinished Wars
It amazes me how Bush fooled everyone with a little slight of hand and that there are still people who believe him. 911 was planned and carried out by terrorists in Afghanistan. Usama Bin Laden claimed responsibility.
So Bush attacked Afghanistan and I supported it 100%. We needed to respond to an attack on American Citizens inside our borders and we needed to do it effectively.
However, in the 90s, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and others tried to get the US to attack Iraq. They wrote letters to Clinton urging him to finish what George Bush Sr. started.
When Bush was elected, they already planned to attack Iraq because they had wanted to all along. Then 911 happened. Bush responded, as he should have, but then he pulled a fast one. He used the 911 attacks to further the agenda he and Cheney had been pushing in the 90s. He told everyone that invading Iraq had something to do with 911. It was a lie. They had wanted to invade Iraq long before 911 ever happened.
George Bush Sr. went to war with Iraq. He never finished it. George Bush Jr. went to war with Afghanistan. He never finished it. George Bush Jr. went to war with Iraq. He never finished that either even though we can all find pictures of him in a borrowed military uniform under a banner that said Mission Accomplished.
The mission it referred to must have been the mission to fool the American Public into thinking he was going to war with Iraq because of 911. Had he focused on Bin Laden and Afghanistan, the war on terrorism would be won, Bin Laden would be dead or captured, and we would not be trillions of dollars in debt.
Bush’s presidency will be remembered for not being able to finish anything, for trampling the constitution, and for taking a surplus and turning it into a deficit. Oh, and for giving more tax breaks to corporations and the rich than any president in history.
Stumble it!
