Less than a year later, our country was hit with the biggest attack since Pearl Harbor. I'm not saying where we went was the right place (Saudi Arabia should have taken the full force), but the United States as a whole was out for blood and somebody had to pay the bill. I would like to add that the president had full Congressional support from both parties at the time.
Once again, I'm not saying what and where we did was right. Things were very emotional at the time, and to be frank, somebody was gonna lose a pound of flesh over it......
Oddly enough you know who made a rousing speech warning Congress about the dangers of getting into that conflict even when she knew it was her job to represent her constituents of New York. Hillary freaking Clinton was actually right about everything.
It’s utterly ridiculous that the thing that likely stopped her from getting elected, the emails, has now been done by Trump and his cronies several times to even worse levels. Mar o lago, signal, the recent email scandal.
You know George Bush's favorite political philosopher according to one of his debates with Al Gore?
Jesus Christ.
Jesus would have definitely jumped right into two foreign wars! That's what Jesus said, when someone slaps you on the cheek you punch their neighbors in the face! And you imprison their friends and torture them!
Why is that insane? Bush elected in 2000, war in 2001 was the result of 9/11. If Gore had been president we would not have avoided the war in Afghanistan.
Same way we eventually got him organized secret tactical strike. I also don’t think killing or catching him was worth trillions of dollars and thousand of other people’s lives.
Afghanistan was harboring Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden, refused to hand him over or allow the US to investigate to attempt to apprehend him, and continued to give him and AQ safe harbor.
I believe you are confusing Afghanistan (2001) with Iraq (2003).

You know the headline after Bush was elected in 2000?
"Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is now over"
Less than a year later we were at war
