Bussing Bush

Michelle will never forgive the Birther-in-Chief Trump for calling the location of his predecessor’s birth into question.
Right-on!

She grabbed her husband’s predecessor and planted a kiss on his sallow cheek. He’s the man who invaded a Middle-Eastern country to displace a dictator and establish democracy there. George Bush fils set off the Sunni-Shia Song and Dance. It was the Dance of Death for four thousand Americana and hundreds of thousands Iraqis. Yes, he’s a real sweetie pie!

You might as well buss Henry the Kiss-of-Death Kissinger

 

Divine Commands

God told Abraham that Isaac had to go, before sending an assistant with wings torenege. Bush fils also got commands from above, but there was no reneging: “God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did.”
(Thus spoke George W. who went AWOL during the Vietnam War.)

G.W.Bush: „working for America“

 

The Advisor in the Sky

In Iraq I, George Bush, père encouraged the Iraqi Shiite majority to revolt against the Sunni minority who were running the country. Then he left them in the lurch. They were massacred.

Iraq II, George Bush fils invaded and attempted to correct his father’s mistake.

Bush fils, concerning the Sunni and Shia Muslim divide, “I thought they were all Muslims.”

Yea George and in the Thirty Years War, they were all Christians. But who needs to go back? How about the Ulster Defence Force and the IRA?

Asked whether he had consulted his father, he replied, “There is a higher father that I appeal to.” “God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them,  and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did.”

Dick Cheney didn’t need to give his fantasy free reign or his decision-making!

The Invasion of Iraq
ousted Saddam and his Sunni crowd,
bringing the Shiite majority into play,
which got even for massacres with massacres.

After thousands of American dead and wounded,
not to speak of the tens of thousands of Iraqi casualties,
the buffer to Iran was cancelled out,
the Middle East was ignited and ISIS filled the Iraqi void.

Bush got advice from above, but who advised
such liberal icons as Tom Friedman, Fareed Zakaria
and Peter Beinhart, Hillary Clinton an Joe Biden?

 

Fareed and Iraq

Fareed and Iraq:” I was in favor of the Iraq War. I believed that a modern democracy in Iraq could be a new model of politics for the region, a middle ground between repressive dictatorships and Islamic fanaticism. And I never believed that Iraqis or Arabs were somehow genetically incapable of self-rule. I worried that Iraq’s sectarian divisions would pull the country apart.”

Yes, dear Fareed, once Sunni-Saddam were toppled, the Shia majority and the Sunni minority would lovingly embrace!

Here’s the mystery: How could anybody who’s so smart be so dumb?

 

Nation Building

Instead of switching to Iraq and neglecting Afghanistan, the latter should have been given a chance to become a democracy with all the necessary trimmings and support. Pakistan should have been “encouraged” to disarm the Taliban fighters who had fled across the border. But no, George set his sights on Iraq, and we know the rest.

It’s all hindsight and the United States has lost yet another war against a small foe.
