10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion passed without a GW Bush



There was a 10th anniversary of the Iraq invasion passed without a GW Bush public appearance (he was busy painting portraits of his deceased dog for Karl Rove & his wife), GW will attend the public dedication of his Presidential Library. Despite the expected fanfare, America should remain angry with and disapproving of GW Bush & politicians who helped him start the Iraq war. Most Dems who supported going to war now admit they were wrong whereas most Repubs who supported going to war say they were right or won't say. GW Bush & crew made a huge mistake when they decided to invade Iraq for bogus WMD reasons -- a terrible decision that needlessly cost:
  • US Blood: over 4,400 killed & 33,000 injured Soldiers (many disabled need yrs of medical treatment)
  • US Treasury: over $2.2tril & growing
  • Severe damage to US Diplomacy
  • Foregone opportunities to rebuild US infrastructure
  • Over 134,000 killed Iraqi civilians, thousands injured & displaced Iraqis, $billions in damage to Iraq property & institutions
GW Bush still insists his Iraq invasion decision was right. Mitt Romney agreed and had he been elected President, Mitt likely would have relied on similar flawed neo-con silly reasoning to confront Iran as GW Bush relied on to invade Iraq. Knowing now that Iraq didn’t possess nuclear WMDs, anyone who says the Iraq invasion was the right decision as does GW Bush either is delusional, lying or both.
