This about wraps it up

Two years before 9/11, candidate Bush was already talking privately about attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer
Houston: Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography.

“He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”



---------------------
Whether or not you believe (even after overwhelming evidence) that Bush acted in good faith in getting us in to the war in Iraq, you can't admit that his management of this debacle has been a childish, listless, wreckless failure.

We've never had a goal. Ever since they failed to find WMD, Every day it's just a new psudo-goal created as an excuse as to why the previous one made no sense. Soldiers are ill equipt, the world now knows the USA as warmongering torturers, there's nearly $9bn just flat out missing, and everyone is to blame except for Mr. Bush himself.

The worm has turned and the the war is over. Support for it is gone.

Once he is removed from office, his presidency will stand as an object lesson of how to bankrupt a nation morally, economically, and spiritually.

I pray we never see his like again.
