Jeb Bush stuttered and choked when asked , if the invasion of Iraq was a mistake. It is a shame that Jeb ,running for president in 2016 and the brother of George Bush, cannot justify the invasion.
Why does someone in his position, fall for the trap that the liberal media has been using for years? The liberal media has dogmatically insisted that the only reason for the invasion of Iraq was ,Weapons of mass destruction, and since the WMD were not found, the invasion was unnecessary.
9-11 was the reason the US invaded Iraq. Could George Bush have received authorization from congress and the United Nations, without 9-11? Oh but, Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11, the liberal medial says.
Before 9-11, there many terrorists attacks against the US such as: embassies, barracks, ships and planes. Always some radical Islamic terrorists group from different countries within the Islamic dominated world. And let us not forget 9-11 was the Second attempt on the World Trade Center from a Islamic terrorist group.
So, 9-11 happens and what is the US to do? The whole world is watching. What will the world's leading superpower do after suffering such an attack, in my opinion, worse than Pearl Harbor, which launched America into World War 2 ? Also, after the attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan, the US also want to war with Germany, which did not attack the US. Because Germany was also a direct threat to America.
The law of the streets, the jungle and international relations are similar in that weakness invites further violence. The best way to avoid conflict on the streets is the willingness to fight if pushed hard enough. Predators look for easy kills, they don't want to have to fight to the death everytime they want something to eat. A former president put it simply, " Peace through Strength".
This applies to the 9-11 attack. Anything less than a massive response from the US would have indicated weakness and invited more attacks against America.
The US was already in AI state of war with Iraq from Desert Storm. Saddam's Iraq was considered a threat by Bill Clinton, who stated the Saddam was a threat to the region and the US, Clinton even bombed Iraq. When it was evident that Bush meant business and was not bluffing, there were no terrorist attacks outside of Iraq and the Middle East was relatively stable. If successful, the removal of Saddam would bring stability and democracy to the Middle East.
This was consistent with America's security stadegy for the last 100 years, fight them there before we have to fight them here.
But, the liberal media would have none of that. Even though there is video evidence of Saddam using poison gas against the Kurds, and the gas is considered WMD, the liberal media harped on the inability to find them after the invasion. Of coarse they did not mention that there was massive traffic between Iraq and Syria leading up to the invasion. This was tactic that Saddam used before, when during Desert Storm he sent his entire air force to Iran to prevent them from being blown up by the American air force. Since it has been shown that Syria recently used chemical weapon which he most likely received from Iraq.
Because George Bush is a republican is all the liberals cared about. They constantly undermined the war effort as they did during the Viet Nam war. But in spite of them, it was almost successful, with stability and democracy emerging in Iraq. That is until Obama became president and pulled all the troops out prematurely, which crated a vacuum, being filled now by radical Islamic terrorists.
With America in retreat around the world as other entities are filling the vacuum. With Russia biting off a piece of Ukraine and China declaring a no fly zone in a area once considered international waters , the world will pine for the days when America was involved in their security. Of coarse there is Iran filling part of the vacuum as their military chants "Death to America". Let us not forget Isis which would have been annilated if the American military was still around but they are not, so Isis grabs their share of the vacuum. Let us not forget, America still has thousands of troops in Korea from the 1950's and many thousands protecting Europe.
What is ironic, most liberals are single issue advocates such as: same sex marriage, women's rights, abortion and atheism. Anyone one of these issues would get your head chopped off if you advocated for them in the Islamic world.
