"Willing" in that Cheney and Rumsfeld convinced him that finishing daddy's war would make his father proud, and that the Iraqis would love their American saviours for freeing them from the yoke of Saddam's tyranny.
If this scene is relaying the truth, Cheney introduced the idea and Bush was totally fine with it so he could get revenge for Saddam wanting to kill his father https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMYxLOs31NI
Just to note: It's crazy how they talk about Israel not wanting to help in the invasion, fearing it would destabilize the region after uhhh this happened
Without a doubt. I mean he had soldiers in a 20 year war trying to revenge his daddy and make him and his cronies billionaires off the death and carnage of the military industrial complex.
You understand that the most charitable read of W is that he was a feckless dipshit who didn't know how to lead and agreed to a cabinet full of the most evil people ever, right?
It's actually racist to use those deaths to malign W as a bloodthirsty genocidal monster. It shows you don't care about the circumstances of their deaths, or stopping it from happening again. You're just using them to justify hating W, and probably anyone else who initially supported the war.

He started a program that saved a lot of African lives over its course of operations so in this guy’s head that cancels out the iraq war and other shit
It's a good close approximation, there's a lot more incompetence and apathy involved but nobody is losing sleep over the nuance and to be POTUS is to accept the responsibility of your actions and inactions 👍
An attack that had nothing to do with Iraq, and only killed 3000 people, which is less than 1% of the number of civilians who died as a result of the war on terror.
GW, Dickey Chainz, the military-industrial complex, Tony Blair, the whole western world really. But mainly the United States. Georgie was probably the only person that could have stopped it and he didn't. He actively made it worse or allowed others to do so on his behalf.
The point being, that if his intent was not to kill brown people, he's not bloodthirsty and genocidal. And calling W bloodthirsty and genocidal is actually a disservice to everyone who died as a result of the Iraq war, because it shows you don't know or care why it happened.
Even then, his intent was to kill tens if not hundreds of thousands. Not to catch a terrorist — he already had credible intel that Bin Laden wasn’t in Iraq but Afghanistan — but to maintain access to oil reserves.
He wanted dead bodies in exchange for oil reserves.
wake up. This is Doctor Moynihan. Youve been in a terrible accident and your brain has created a fiction to help cope with the physical stress of it. Your kids are here with us. They love you. You need to wake up.
Theyre a disingenious ai made to never concede anything, so therefore easy as hell to get them caught in logic traps. Their premise politically as a bot is extremely limited, and goes as follows "Israel cannot do harm or genocide" nor can "any sitting us president" greatest humanitarian my ass.
Not even his own brother has defended his actions in Iraq this hard; where was the lab you were raised in and what was the name of the project that initiated it?
Brother, how do you interpret almost 1,000,000 innocent civilians being killed in the Middle East wars started by former president George W. Bush? https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human
I don’t think that matters. What happened was a series of illegal brutal massacres built on a lie and you think that the guy who did it was cool. That makes you a bad person.

He is that which he is, them's just the breaks.
Which narrative do you prefer?
Hitler wasn't the only Adolf.
American imperialism is a disease.
The new push of ethnic cleansing in greater Palestine is par for the course of a failing empire.
Both I bet you fuckin bootlicker
I’m not surprised that a guy who thinks Bush is a decent person doesn’t know shit about history though.
You’re REALLY not going to like the end of the path your ideology is leading. I won’t spoil it for you.
Not joking. Anselmo is a slang for traitor down here.
Some people incapable of nuance are so exhausting.

Another buffoon patsy for the hawks to slip into power within the regime of another "folksy Trojan rube."
Reagan. Bush. Trump.
No war but class war.
As George Carlin said, "It's a big club, and you ain't in it."
But facts don't really belong in the black and white world of lefties.

woulda been a pricey renovation if it wasn't what it was instead
don't look into the insurance payout or which ailment hit first responders the worst
how many wars can a person start before we're allowed to call them that
And as Bush started that war, it can be concluded that he did a genocide.
He may have not intended it, but he certainly didn't seem to care to prevent it or so when it was obvious what was happening
He wanted dead bodies in exchange for oil reserves.
Yes.
Look at the thread and read the room, jackass.
Do you think he started an entire war without saying why? Like “I want to go to war but the reasons are a secret”
Now shall we start with an explanation of why correlation is not causation?

You horrible little freak.
Do you even know whom you're talking about?
