Oh, piss off, ya ignorant wanker. Only a small number of Saddam's army joined ISIS, and that was several years ago, when ISIS first moved into Iraq. Most of those former Iraqi soldiers are now in the Iraqi security forces fighting ISIS. Moreover, ISIS is recruiting all over the world, including right under Obama's Pinocchio nose. Of the Americans who have joined ISIS, 250 (appox) of them have returned to the US following training.

Yeah, Sussman's post is bullsh!t.

Bush cannot be held accountable in any way for the 9/11 attacks. If you want to point fingers at intelligence failures, you have to go back to Bill Clinton's CIA reforms. He and his cronies implemented policies that defanged the CIA--those policies effectively destroyed the entire field missions of agents in hot zones. The CIA was overloaded with PC bureaucrats and almost 90% of the field agents were pulled out of the ME. Even those who remained could no longer recruit indigeoous insiders to do the dirty work.

Apart from his profligate spending, GW Bush's biggest accomplishment was his biggest failure--he paved the way for Obama. Now our nation is in some really deep do do.

All that happened prior to Obamanation is irrelevant. The rubber band that connected Bush to anything happening now snapped a long time ago.

The war on Iraq created ISIS, which did not exist until GWB disbanded Hussein's army.

Poverty existed before and after the war on poverty, which was lost because REPUBLICANS stopped spending on infrastructure

Yep, it is all republicans fault. Democrats are perfect, and have caused no ills to befall this nation. I'm good with that.
I guess political parties will destroy the world my grandchildren will inherit. OK. So be it. Be happy with your legacy of following along when you could have thought for yourself. Your choice.

MarvinSussman

There are lots of Blue Dog Democrats who v**e with Republicans.

Actually, there are very few progressives in Congress.

That's why your grandchildren are in real deep trouble.

Wake up, Archie!

That's it, ignore facts and deflect with something that has nothing to do with the subject matter.

We are discussing George W. Bush and his accomplishments as president. We are not discussing LBJ.

Richard94611

Bush ignored warnings he had about 9/11. He had them a few months before the event. Your post is typical of you -- all bluster, trying to change the subject, and contributing nothing to a factual discussion we are trying to have.

Richard94611

Archie, do you think you might try to contribute to the subject of the discussion instead of just insulting other people ? What, in your opinion, are the accomplishments of George W. Bush when he was president ?

Richard94611

As usual, Blade, your post is insultijg, bizarre and irrelevant. You might do us all a favor when you post something by actually reading what you have written and then ASKING YOURSELF "IS THIS RELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION ?" I was mulling mover your posts the other day and a pattern struck me. Other than insults, the common characteristic to most of your posts is that they are not relevant to a discussion

The topic here is George W. Bush accomplishments as President of the United States. Are you able to focus on that and tell us what, in your opinion, these were ?

"Apart from his profligate spending, GW Bush's biggest accomplishment was his biggest failure--he paved the way for Obama." What part of that did you not understand?

Richard94611

I understand exactly what the words mean. However, in what way did W. Bush "pave the way" for Obama ? What precisely does this general expression mean, if anything ? Please give specific details.

Richard94611

Isn't it interesting that conservative Republicans such as the ones frequenting this discussion forum seem unable to come up with any of President George W. Bush's accomplishments.
