row_33 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I would have voted for him if it wasn't for that airhead Sarah Palin It was too late in the career for his run at POTUS. He was an excellent force for good during Reagan's admin. also, most contact with vets has been through files with the Feds, so they may have better memories of their service than others.

Doc Brown Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Bush Jr. just gave a speech indirectly criticizing Trump (I never remember a previous president fcriticizing the current president from their party). Any liberal that now props up George Bush Jr. just because he spoke out against Trump is a hack. Edited October 19, 2017 by Doc Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any liberal that now props up George Bush Jr. just because he spoke out against Trump is a hack. Yes, how terrible pointing out that even those in his own party are disgusted and disturbed by this clown. I have a better idea Doc. Read his words and judge them. Do you agree that bigotry--as I have been saying for how long?--is being used in our political discourse now? I'm glad Bush spoke out. Love how the trumpettes just go on the attack instead of actually reading what he said Edited October 19, 2017 by Tiberius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Right on schedule. Next he will tell you how Frum and Kystol have America's best interest in heart and their little regime change dreams are more tolerable than a blowhard for president.

Love how the trumpettes just go on the attack instead of actually reading what he said Bush Jr. made the biggest foreign policy mistake in at least my lifetime in going to war with Iraq based off faulty intelligence. Twenty-seven democratic senators voted for the Iraq Resolution including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, and Joe Biden. His administration and Congress also passed the Patriot Act which still lives on today in The US Freedom Act. Surveillance has only increased since its passage and I thought liberals were against mass surveillance. Bush's administration authorized torture of suspected terrorists in Guantanamo Bay and many liberals thought he should go to jail for that. If you prop up Bush Jr. just because he criticized Trump (who didn't have anything to do with any of the things Bush Jr. did and hasn't done much since entering office) you are a hack.

The same people, not the same agencies, but the same people who botched the WMD intelligence are the ones telling us they're 100% certain the Russians "hacked" our election and committed an act of war. If only those on the left side of the spectrum would stop and let that salient point sink in, they might rethink their new love affair with the neocons whom they (rightfully) despised during the Bush years...

They didn't "botch" the WMD intelligence. It was actually very solid intel. As good as you will ever see in intelligence work. Extraordinarily solid. Hilariously solid, given that it was wrong.

That decision was made well before 9/11 by the same neocons, disgruntled that Bush 41 didn't finish the job, who would go on to regain key positions in the Bush 43 administration.

No room for gentle in a space occupied by ideological bullies armed with sledgehammers and little information. As for the sarcastic thanks, you're welcome. Glad you are willing to be edified.
