WMDs in Iraq didn't exist even though President Bush Sr. gave Saddam Hussein many if not most of the components to make a nuclear bomb when he was encouraging him to attack Iran and he did, the Iran Iraq War. Bush Jr. thought Saddam Hussein had WMD because Bush Jr. is incompetent and probably was born that way and that isn't being mean because most everyone in his generation was born incompetent due to the settle fact of history of how much toxic heavy metal was in the air and water after WW2 and the industrialization after that.
Also, everyone knows the Baby Boomers did a lot of drugs and even if they didn't most Baby Boomers at one time insisted experimenting with drugs was the cool thing to do. So its a settled fact of history that generation is largely incompetent due to toxic heavy metal and drug exposure. Too bad too because being wrong about WMD was horrible for all Humanity and I think its obvious the CIA is too.
Super interesting archived video, i was barely 5 when this all happened. Don’t remember a time we weren’t at war, it was just something normal, as normal as Portland rain.
Pat, that had to have been an absolutely awesome experience for you and your brother. Thank you for covering it, and thank you to your brother for answering the call to serve.
War is wack. but the 7 months living in Iraq with my brothers getting a reality check of life was the best time of my life.
Thanks republicans for wasting trillions and sacrificing our sons and daughters for nothing.
Nationalism and Humanism are not mutually exclusive
Thank both of yall and all the boys that did this for us no matter what they say
