Trump hits Bush: Invading Iraq 'the single worst decision ever made' The Hill Max Greenwood 8 hrs ago © Provided by The Hill President Trump blasted former President George W. Bush on Saturday over the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, calling it "the single worst decision ever made." Speaking at a closed-door event with Republican donors in Florida, Trump mocked Bush's intellect and compared his decision to invade Iraq to "throwing a big fat brick into a hornet's nest." "Here we are, like the dummies of the world, because we had bad politicians running our country for a long time," Trump said, according to CNN, which obtained a recording of the president's remarks. "That was Bush. Another real genius. That was Bush," Trump joked. "That turned out to be wonderful intelligence. Great intelligence agency there." Trump has repeatedly attacked U.S. intelligence community, once pointing to its faulty assessment that the government of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as evidence of its unreliability. He has long held that he has always opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the United States' prolonged engagement in the country. Interviews recorded before the invasion, however, suggest otherwise. Trump has had a strained relationship with the Bush family. He was never given the endorsement of George W. Bush or his father, former President George H.W. Bush. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who briefly ran against Trump in the 2016 GOP presidential primary, never endorsed him either. Poster Comment: But Donald, one thing you do nor realize is that Saddam was accepting Euros in payment for oil. This violated the U.S. policy of dollar supremacy. Saddam had to go. http://empirestrikesblack.com/2011/06/flashback-petrodollar-warfare-saddam-abandons-dollar-for-euro/

Bush 41, smarter than his children, knew not to invade
In 1991, 1993 and 1996 cruise missile strikes were launched against target is Iraq. http://airvectors.net/avcruz_3.html Also, Saddam was targeted because he was accepting Euros in payment for oil. The violated the U.S. policy of "dollar supremacy". Saddam supposedly said he "did not want to use the currency of the enemy". Saddam Hussein was hung in Baghdad in 2006. http://abcnews.go.com/International/IraqCoverage/story? id=2760537&page=1 "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Actually, Schwarzkopf told 41 to not invade. And chimp I was just smart enough to follow that good advice.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
43 wanted to be a wartime president.
And Tramp, sorry Trump, wants to go to war with North Korea, real smart decision.
Lindsey Graham does but not sure about Trump. He seems okay with Tillerson meeting with the NKs.
Whoa!
