If anyone else other than Trump did anything wrong it was like the world was ending. When it's Trump everyone has kid gloves on.

Remember that time Bush got us into two wars because of 9/11, but it wasn’t until Obama that the guy who caused it was killed. I member. Turns out the Republicans didn’t care about justice, they just cared about using the crisis to make some oil money for their VP and President.

All I remember was the big "Mission Accomplished" banner on a Navy carrier with bush waving and smiling. Are you now telling me he didn't accomplish his mission? /srcsm

The mission was definitely accomplished. Halliburton had control of the oil fields.
