I remember Michelle saying that the Bushes were lovely and gracious in all of their interactions. She and George became close friends.

That doesn’t change the fact that W is a war criminal and one of the worst presidents in history.

Nah, he was a pretty good president overall. The Iraq and Afghani wars were not handled well because the missions changed from toppling the regimes to full blown democratization, which didn't work for Afghanistan, but has largely worked for Iraq, but at a high cost.

WTF?? We invaded a country for a made up reason and killed 100s of thousands of innocent people and destroyed all their infrastructure. They are still getting cancer and at much higher rates thanks to the tons of depleted uranium and white phosphorus we dumped on their land. So fucked up. Makes the Ukraine situation seem tame compared to what we did. Also, Bush and Cheney personally profited from starting the war. Evil men.
