That's the actual deep state all the slobbering dumbfucks in the MAGA movement are obsessed with- they vote for them. BUT. Bush was still a human being and I believe he is kind of tortured because he knows what he was on some level. Trump is a soulless narcissistic shell of hatred. He's relentlessly stupid, uncurious, uninteresting, and just generally the worst human being that has ever lived.

Amon Ra oh ya but at least saddam one of the best president of the Arab world is gone he literally thinks that he did something to help Iraq they could’ve lifted sanctions or something but nahhh then they say orange man bad

[@breaking_mike]

@Amon Ra Indeed there were obvious signs of chemical & biological weapons in Iraq. Even before 2003, the Osirak Nuclear Reactor was hit by Israelis in the 1980s. George HW Bush drove the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, not going into Baghdad. President Clinton has repeatedly ordered a cruise missile attack on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction facilities. Even before September 11th, US jets were doing sorties over Iraq territory. Obviously, it was a dangerous regime & Saddam had terrorist connections, this is an undeniable fact. Couldn't imagine an Iraq that entered the Arab Spring with Hussein. In addition, obvious evidence of chemical & biological weapons has been found in Iraq, contrary to what many people think. The lethal Ricin gas was found in the cave camp of the Ansar Al-Islam terrorist organization near the town of Sargat, close to Halabja city. Relatives of the city where Saddam killed his own civilians with lethal gas. If I'm not mistaken, in the first weeks of the 2003 invasion, this cave camp was captured after a few days of conflict with the local Peshmerga force and US Special forces team. Arabic documents, materials, NBC clothing, antidotes & traces of potassium chloride have been observed on how to make Ricin gas inside of the facility. The camp where Colin Powell projected satellite photos on the screen during his February presentation for UN. In addition, Ansar Al Islam began receiving funding & support from Al-Qaeda shortly after 9/11. The organization has ties with Zarqawi & Bin Laden & has been trained to fight like the PKK, like the Chechens on the mountain, as opposed to fighting in the desert with coalition forces in the open area. As is already known, the geography of Northern & Northeastern Iraq is very difficult & too high. Think about it, this is just one terrorist camp that has been detected. In my opinion, if the Grand National Assembly of Turkey to allow the Americans to enter Northern Iraq in 2003 it gave more to this series of operations camp was gaining momentum, fast action and would be able to do. But when the northern leg of the invasion was stillborn, time was lost, & perhaps the "not found" chemical & biological weapons + WMDs were either taken out of the country, or buried, or destroyed. This is clearly stated in the official Duelfer report, those who aren't lazy enough can read hundreds of pages if they want about missing WMDs. After the invasion, after taking the necessary intimidation, Gaddafi stopped advancing his own WMD program. In 2007, the nuclear reactor, which was developed with North Korean scientists in the Al-Khabar region of Syria, was wiped out by Israel in a secret air operation with abundant electronic mixing. In February of this year, the Turkish Armed Forces bombed the Syrian regime's Chemical Warfare facility near Aleppo with its F-16s while carrying out operations in Idlib area to secure its borders. In conclusion, Iraq, Syria, Iran, North Korea. All these regimes are on the axis of evil, regardless of the mistakes made in the wars, the important developments that took place. Their armies, men power must be destroyed & their country's territory must occupied by the armies of the civilized world. Their people must be liberated from these tyrannical governments. But who will replace them after their leader dies? This is a huge problem, of course, as in Saddam's example. Differences of religions, sects & races should be studied well if a Western country is to invade these countries. ..and especially if we're talking about the ME region. But it's very obvious that no matter how well planned, no matter how superior technology you have, no matter how many "freedom fighters" you have to use for proxy wars, this is a quagmire. There is no end in sight

[@johnbookertheiii4665]

Don't be so sure... Bush left the country in huge debt and started the failed War on Terrorism. He left the country in crisis and we are still recovering from it. You're also forgetting that the Republicans had a tighter grip on what Bush did/said than they have on Trump, plus Bush didn't have the platform(social media) that Trump has. Don't get it twisted, everything that Trump says and does is carefully planned with the intention of evoking public outrage. Bush was just pawn in the hands of his political party, and comes off as a genuine ditz. Trump is way smarter than people give him credit for(smart enough to be self made billionaire), that's why he won the election, not because half of the country are ''idiots''. And until people realize that our country will keep losing. The people who voted for Trump(or didn't vote at all) are not all idiots(it's actually pretty moronic to think like that). There are people who voted twice for Obama that ended up voting for Trump, because they felt let down by Obama's cabinet. TBH, i knew that we(by ''we'' i mean America) were losing the election when Hillary got nominated. For fuck's sakes, she was calling out Putin whenever the opportunity would arise. Don't get me wrong, we are all thinking those things about Putin, but what world leader runs their mouth like that? The answer is no one, the thought never leaves their mouth for a reason! No one smart wants a war with Russia...they have nukes, plus they hate us more than they hate their own president, so... There's nothing to gain from a war with Russia, only a lot to lose. Face it, we were forced to choose between two unfit candidates, and in the end it was America that lost.

[@mscargill9345]

From a UK guy born 1993. This man was president in my formative years. I have yet to see a man with more compassion; enthusiasm and genuine love for his country. Mistakes and gaffes were made, but this man will eventually go down as one of the top 10 presidents you have had. Obvious mistakes were made and 9/11 was missed, yet the war against terrorism was formed by GBW and supported by us. We will continue to support our US allies. Best, Mark x

I am Chinese. I think President Bush is very humorous and has a very charming personality. Why does he only have tens of thousands of Twitter followers? Obama and Trump have tens of millions. Why don’t Americans like him?

[@bbblackwell]

This is why I voted for this guy the first time around - he's just so lovable and charismatic! But I learned my lesson, and it applies to friendships, romantic and work relationships, etc.: just because you like a person's personality doesn't mean they're right for the position.

[@Synochra]

Jaundiced Jape I applaud your attitude, we all make mistakes and it's O.K., as long as we learn from them. I wish more of your compatriots were like you, the world wouldn't suffer at your government's hands then!

[@DembaiVT]

Cheers man - the more I find out about Bush the more I realize I never got to know the person. The person is GREAT the things he did were not. And I'm sad that the fun loving human sitting here was also the person who did so much harm to the States. I at least understand WHY people voted for him though. Up here in Canada, we didn't learn much about who he was. Just what he did and how it would effect us. But one thing I always, ALWAYS said about him, because it was so clear from his legislation is no matter how many issues he has with public speaking...he is clever as hell. He is SMART, and it's VERY stupid to underestimate him. I'm glad though that he's using his time out of office to raise money for the vets he created. That is seriously something. I would hope that this goes further, that he really gets a fire under his ass and starts working even harder for those vets - because the worse things get for everyone, vets are going to be in an even more terrible position. Get on it Bush - you're clearly a loving funny guy - use your powers for good this time.

[@jpmnky]

That’s a big reason people like myself love G W Bush. The critics tore him apart for the his mispronunciations of words and the quirky looks he’d give. The man is anything but stupid. Acting imo he was so brilliant that he convinced half the US that he was an idiot. After having two stuck up, pompous Presidents follow W, people are appreciating his sense of humor more finally. EDIT: In response to Richard Espinoza - I’m a republican and I was very much against going into Iraq. It’s your precious Obama who ramped up our presence in the Middle East, further destabilizing the region. Bush left in two countries. Which is terrible. Obama, the crusader for democracy that the press made him out to be, left office with our military in six middle eastern nations.
