It was noteworthy that Bush II told the American Public, when he was asked whether he consulted with his father concerning his foreign policy decisions related to going to war with Iraq, he indicated that he consulted a higher father. Evidently, God gave Bush II guidance on his decision to go to war in Iraq.
In a way, Bush II had to say this since his father’s book “A World Transformed” co-written by Brent Scowcroft explained in detail why invading Iraq made no sense. That book was published in 1999. The pitfalls of invading Iraq were not secret or unanticipated. Prior to the war they were well documented. Scowcroft, to his credit, was one of the few Republicans to openly question Bush II's poor policy choices.
Richard Clark’s book is even a more damning indictment since he lays out the case that Bush II’s poor policies made us more susceptible to 9/11. Most Republicans can even justify the outing of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent since her husband was a “traitor.” Forget what dangers that posed to Americans. Similarly, Abu Ghareb was a harmless fraternity style prank. No accountability whatsoever.
I wonder how many Republicans really believe that God wanted the U.S. to invade Iraq. If God wanted this, then there is a good case that God is a Muslim (or Allah) since the group that paid the heaviest price in Iraq was the Christian community.
Oops – I forgot that “everyone knows” that “they” are all radical Muslims. So, “they” got what “they” deserved. If you question that, you obviously “hate America” and are “negative.”
