WARMONGERING IRONY … 

|| By FITSNEWS ||  Prepare to get dizzy … okay?

First, the 30,000-foot view: The 2016 presidential campaign is taking place against a backdrop of heightened support for U.S. military invention (and the ever-escalating price tag that goes with, um, “national defense“).  Sure it was all the result of some relentless (and ongoing) scaremongering, but whatever … the bottom line is America (especially early-voting South Carolina) is in a tizzy.

Don’t believe us?  Read this story.

Things have gotten so crazy that even non-interventionist Rand Paul has become something of a warmonger (although he doesn’t like getting called out for it).

Against this broader backdrop, though, is a general acknowledgment that the once-concluded – now rebooted – Iraq War was sold to the American public via a pack of lies.  And that this pack of lies – spoon fed by former U.S. president George W. Bush – will hurt the presidential ambitions of former Florida governor Jeb Bush.

Never mind the real problem …

Anyway, we’ve long maintained the most compelling indictment of America’s last “rush to war” – and the costly quagmire it created – was a skit performed by comedian David Chappelle for Comedy Central.  We’re written about “Black Bush” on several occasions (HERE and HERE) but the clip bears re-watching …

(Click to play)

So …

What is Jeb Bush’s view on his brother’s war?  Would he have invaded Iraq, too?

“I would have and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody,” Bush recently told Megyn Kelly of Fox News. “And so would almost everybody that was confronted with the intelligence they got.”

Of course Bush acknowledges the intelligence was “faulty.”

“In retrospect the intelligence that everybody saw – that the world saw, not just the United States – was faulty,” he told Kelly.  “And in retrospect, once we invaded and took out Saddam Hussein, we didn’t focus on security first, and the Iraqis in this incredibly insecure environment turned on the United States military because there was no security for themselves and their families.”

But Bush still says he would have invaded ..

“News flash to the world, if they’re trying to find places where there’s big space between me and my brother, this might not be one of those,” he told Kelly.

Wow … talk about an interesting “strategery.”

America’s “War on Terror” – initiated by George W. Bush and pursued by Barack Obama – cost American taxpayers between $4-6 trillion.  It also cost thousands of American lives – yet failed to make our nation safer.

Hence the War on Terror II …

Of course to be fair to Bush, his “if at first you fail, throw more money at it” approach to warmongering fits the broader “Republican” view of government championed by his brother.

Meaning he’s nothing if not consistent …

What a blessing it will be when the US’s fiscal house of cards finally comes crashing down.

The the overseas wars will finally stop and then we’ll get to see if Jade Helm was really about the oppression of civil uprisings or not.

No one likes a bully outside of his friends, & even his friends don’t like him enough to put their skin on the line for him. The US has become a caricature of an evil empire/bully.

The republicrats still don’t get it. “It’s the economy, stupid.” We can’t even begin to build more war toys without it.

Jeb is sinking almost as fast as Hillary, because of his Nut-job, liberal-tarian-like stances…

I bet Jeb’s polled and found that most Americans want a president who will STAND UP for their country…especially after 8 years of Obama and FITS-types siding w/ Brutal Sharia terrorists…

Get used to it FITS…if any candidate is going to win the White House…he/she will have to take the issues and Slap the S#!t out of you, the media and the Democrat Party, with them…

You stand for everything the people hate, and are sick of…it’s why Ravenel CRASHED under your tutelage…He should be PI$$#d w/ you…same w/ Mace and Tom Ervin…

FITS is not the Grandfather of Candidates…he is the GRAVEYARD of candidates…LMAO…

Really. Because the Dems have won 4 of the last 6 – and the last two – by huge wipe-out margins in the electoral college. But hey, Abe Lincoln won the Civil War too? And we need more bayonets and horses – damn it!!!

Obama destroyed the Democrat Party.Your ‘contact’ at the Pakistan Embassy didn’t tell you that?LMAO!!!

Rocky May 12, 2015 at 12:34 pm

He retired. Now rakes in bigger bucks as a contractor. But I will tell you what he said in 2009. They were sure he was in Pakistan. They had no doubt about that. What they couldn’t tell was if Pakistan was protecting him, or just didn’t know where he was. But they were convinced he was there. The other thing they had wrong at first was where. They thought he was in the far western part of Pakistan near the border. Intel had placed him in and around that area multiple times through 2006. If he wasn’t there, they surmised he was in Islamabad itself, but most of that information was not reliable.

Rocky's in Dizzy World May 12, 2015 at 12:05 pm

Speaking of Abe Lincoln and the Civil War Mr.Fairy Tale…the Republicans control a majority of state legislatures for the FIRST time since RECONSTRUCTION…post Civil War socialist.

Rocky May 12, 2015 at 12:37 pm

If you want to call it a tie, each won 7 of the last 14. Or the GOP won 9 of the last 16. Or the DEMs won 12 of the last 21. I mean we could go on all day. Bottom line, Dems won 2 of the last two. But I don’t think the GOP will nominate a ditz-head VP candidate this time like in 2008, or a candidate that the VP nominee calls “Stinky” like they did in 2012. So it should be a tight one.

fc May 12, 2015 at 12:49 pm

Things have changed.Obama destroyed the Democrat Party.America looks at them as the party of appeasement, perversion and that they can be trusted to protect our communities.

You were despised by every person who posted on The SNOB. Even those you now praise as “successful businessmen” and “respected local leaders.” YOU were the first to accuse them of being a bunch of drunks, driving drunk, etc. Even accused one commenter of being a child molester who abused his own daughter.

You mocked another one for disclosing his depression and a suicide attempt. You are a loathsome, reprehensible troll. Nothing but trouble. Hope you get rolled next time you visit Yellow Springs — IF you’ve ever really been there. Beautiful town, with a lot of very cool people in it. I can see you not fitting in very well at all.

You and GT have been trying to make the case that this blog will shut down the way that The SNOB did, all based on a total misunderstanding of the meaning of the Kelley verdict and whether or not it will stand the appeals process. Trying to strike fear in Will’s heart over the threatened Bingham suit, now. Same old smoke and mirrors, song and dance, one trick dog and pony show.

I haven’t made the case for ANYTHING shutting down.I don’t want to see Will sued or for Fits to shut down.Unlike you I don’t wish harm on others and their families.

You can’t really “hijack” a fake name. Or effectively sue one. Even “Elmer Fudd” was never found guilty. They had only a circumstantial case that it was him. Dropped charges, once the allegation had helped to smear him. But in your case, you have a long history of multiple screen IDs, sometimes arguing with each other. That’s what killed The SNOB, no matter how much you and others want to blame that on me.

Hillary and Kerry were both on board to fight Iraq till the war was going on and it became politically expedient to be against it. Then the “WMDs” just evaporated from the news media. Most were flushed down the Euphrates river and taken to the Bacau valley in Syria. Where did the nerve gas come from that Asad used on his own people ?? I’m not saying I support Jeb. Love George but not so much Jeb or Daddy Bush. But the Iraq war was and still is part of the war on terror. Obummer only gave back what our military fought and died for. I just hope we don’t have to do it again to fix his mistake.

Correct on all fronts Rogue.No WMD’s but Hussein used them on the Kurds. W. was is Godly man that loves this country.He took the fight to them.We were winning that fight until Muslim Obama gave those gains away to install the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Queda in the middle east.

Yes they believe that crap. Halliburton made hundreds of billions of dollars in war profit, and then moved their headquarters to Dubai, so they would not have to pay taxes on the money we paid them or disclose exactly how much money they made on the back of the US Taxpayer on no bid contracts.
Remember when we were told by the Bush Adm. that Iraq would pay for the war with oil money, and suddenly that promise just disappeared. Halliburton put the kibosh on that, when they realized the Iraq would have no money to pay them to rebuild the oil wells, we blew up. Just another source of revenue source courtesy of the US taxpayer.
Faulty intelligence. Right. They ignored plenty of intelligence they did not want to hear.
