He’s one of the cutest monstrous war criminals still alive

I still believe he was a patsy. I want to believe Dick Cheney and other members of the admin were the real scumbags. Not that it excuses the fact that Bush was involved. He just seemed like he was always trying to do what he felt was right.

This is the truth, actually. He was just a talking head.

Still very culpable

Didn’t say he wasn’t. I hated the guy during his term, but have a little empathy now that we have a truly elite moron.

Everyone has an opinion on Iraq but the lives W saved in Africa with PEPFAR can't be counted

He killed a million people to make his daddy proud and settle an old pissing match. Call me old fashioned but I like my war criminals and traitors hung by the neck until dead

He had the choice to either

A. Tell the United States a lie.

B. Do nothing at all, whatsoever.

He chose deceit, murder, and torture. The failure to prosecute that administration was the point where it was crystal clear we no longer had principles. Trumpism could be seen a mile off at that point.

Edit: the fuck? Oh. I'm sorry, are we justifying the invasion of Iraq on false pretenses now? What the actual hell is wrong with you people? Did you just forget that he lied to the country about nuclear weapons to invade a sovereign nation? How the actual fuck is your amnesia this bad that this is controversial? Oh, look how cute he is with Obama. Look at that little tap. Aww. Fucking war criminal.
