This whole thing is like watching people "interpret" the Bible.
You just put whatever it is you want to believe into what you read and hear.
The "bad intel" was from the 1990's when Pres. Clinton and Tony Blair were best of buddies.
Do I think that both of them (and later of course, Bush) wanted to go after Iraq? Yep.
Do I think that both of them looked at the horrible work that our "intel" (spy agencies) gave them and said "Oh hell yes!" Yep.
As Hillary Clinton said about Benghazi to the Senate: "What difference does it make?"
Reality is: Pres. Bill Clinton bombed the fuck out of them. Which was illegal as well. That's an act of war. And that set the stage for Bush to wage an all out illegal war using that same "intelligence" that was given to his administration by the Clinton administration.
And that is illegal as hell.
And immoral. And completely Un-American in every way.
Invading, bombing, attacking, and even trying to force other country's to do what we tell them to do is WRONG.
Just imagine if some other country decided to tell the United States (you know, the only country on Earth that is insane enough to have actually used nuclear weapons on people) that we aren't "ALLOWED" to have nukes.
AND, they are going to declare the air space over the United States a "no-fly" zone and shoot down any of our planes flying.
That sounds crazy doesn't it?
And yet, that's exactly what we did.
And then when they weren't able to live up to being treated that way after a dozen years...we use bullshit "intel" and invade them and overthrow their govt.
Wow.
If you had told me the United States Of America would EVER do that. I wouldn't have believed it.
And what are we doing now?
We are STILL over there fighting, killing, and getting killed.
For what?
Iraq never attacked us. And we were so hell-bent on getting rid of Hussein and any "WMD's"
Well...he is gone, and there aren't any WMD's.
So what the fuck is our govt. doing there? And why won't they leave?????
