george w. bush thinks it was the right thing to invade iraq in the first place

[Paul2]

...“Do you have any regrets [about sending troops into Iraq]?” Schieffer asked. “I mean, do you ever feel that maybe it was the wrong decision?”

“No I think it was the right decision,” Bush said, but he said he regretted the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS) in parts of Iraq.

“My regret is that a violent group of people has risen up again. This is al Qaeda plus. I put in the book that they need to be defeated. And I hope we do [defeat them].”...

when i first read that a few days ago.  i was thinking if he didn't sent troops into iraq in the first place,  thousands of american soldiers wouldn't have die.  the iraqi terrorists wouldn't bother beheading the americans.  not only that but after 8 years of fighting an unnecessary war in iraq.  american troops return home and the terrorists in iraq rises again.  this isis group or whatever it is, started to behead americans again.

Later that day, i was thinking in words in my head about it and i heard voices in my head that called george w. bush a dumbfuck.  it made me lol.

Can't really say I'm all that surprised. When you think about it, the guy and his cronies started 2 wars that we are still dealing with. You think he'd get involved and then 14 years later say "whoops my bad". Deep down he may know he fucked up but I can never see him publicly saying he made a mistake. Or he's trying to mentally tell himself so much it was the right choice (kinda like banging a fat chick. You know its gross but you mentally tell yourself it's ok) that he believes it now. Or he really believes he was right. Either way, it's Bush and we had 8 years of him trying to figure out what the hell he was doing

Well you can't really expect him to say it was the wrong move after over 4000 American lives lost and billions of American tax dollars. Saddam was no angel but he had nothing to do with 911 and keeping him in power in conjunction with the sanctions we had in place with Britain, kept that area stable. Removing him evolved the region into unstable chaotic chaos.

And look where that leads us to now. A complete and utter clusterfuck.

The dude literally said that God came to him and told him to go war in Iraq. How can he be expected to say it was the wrong choice when it was divined to him by holy fiat?
