George Bush Jnr invades Iraq with fabricated evidence. Lies to allies about proof, drags many allies into shitty desert conflict. Gets halo as in post presidency isn’t an asshole.

You believe the conspiracy theory that the evidence was fabricated? Do you also believe that 911 was an inside job? /s

The justification for invading Iraq was a claim that they were developing nuclear weapons. It was well known at the time that the evidence was flimsy, and that even if true it was a flimsy excuse for an invasion. The main piece of evidence was an intercepted shipment of aluminum tubes that were soon shown to have nothing to do with a nuclear program. (See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_aluminum_tubes). That one is not a conspiracy theory.

And when it became clear that there were no nuclear weapons, it became a dishonest equivocation about weapons of mass destruction. Meanwhile, there was also loads of dishonest communication about Iraq’s coordination with terrorist groups.

Honestly, it’s much easier to come up with a reasonable conspiracy theory around 9/11 than most people think. There’s proof that the FBI and DHS knew that the attacks were being planned (iirc they were warned multiple times by Mossad), so it isn’t that much of a stretch to believe that the US intentionally ignored the warnings with the knowledge that such an attack would justify another war in the Middle East.
Ignoring the warnings would be a win-win. You get to go to war for oil if they’re real, and if they’re fake, then nothing happens and life goes on like it always has.

I’ll agree with that. W seems like an all together great guy, but a bit simple. Most of the bs that came from his presidency was Cheney pulling his strings.
I loved his ‘Bushisms’ where he’d just make up words.

He is actually incredibly intelligent and a war criminal. Graduated in the top 2% of the Harvard Business School, he’s not simple. He’s just recorded often enough that it became easy to paint him as simple, bringing forward his little stupid slip ups we all make. He’s a cunning, evil man.
