But as Chuck Hagel said, it was Bush's war of choice to go into Iraq.
Answer this question John McCain: Was it smart to look for Osama Bin Laden in Iraq? What you say, Bush didn't think Bin Laden was in Iraq? Well then why did Bush stop looking for Bin Laden. It was only so he could get re-elected, right?
And Bush's invasion of Iraq was the worst foreign policy blunder since Crassus invaded Parthia in 53 B.C.
In 2000 Al Gore defeated George W. Bush by over half a million votes. In 2003 George W. Bush ordered the illegal invasion of Iraq. At that point the United States literally became a rogue nation without a democratically elected leader.
On September 11, 2012, four Americans were killed in Benghazi, Libya. Later money was shifted from what was being spent in Iraq to protecting U.S. diplomats abroad. Hence, Bush's invasion of Iraq has already caused another 9/11.
I heard an estimate that approximately 100,000 new terrorists may have resulted from Bush's illegal invasion of Iraq. Hence, due to Bush's horrible mismanagement, the troops were not there protecting us from terrorism, but there creating terrorists.
