Translation: Hillary was too gullible and stupid to be President.
The Senate committees on Intelligence and our military had all the facts like Bush. If Bush was saying something different than the Senate and House committees, why didn't they ask for the intel?
I'll take my groans now, please.

"We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today," Kerry said Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "Knowing there was no imminent threat to America, knowing there were no weapons of mass destruction, knowing there was no connection of Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda, I would not have gone to war. That's plain and simple."
Bush lied.
LOL Sorry, Lurch, I'm not like you and your worship of JFK, LBJ and other Democratic warmongers.
Reagan did a lot for the US on the international scene. His biggest weaknesses were domestically; AIDS and the PATCO strike being two major faults. If you were an abstract thinker, you'd be able to use the search function to see I've addressed these faults before.
FYI, I don't worship anything. I do, however, respect many things.

TBH, given the times, I, too, supported the Soviet containment strategy. Cold War, including Proxy Wars, is always preferable to the alternative: A hot thermonuclear war.
The main point I've kept trying to make is differentiating between a military defeat and a political defeat. The US was defeated politically, not militarily, in Vietnam, mainly due to our own actions and inactions.
Russia is getting its ass kicked militarily in Ukraine, and the political defeat is coming.

The result was the most illegal and costly war the US has ever waged, other than the other one Bush started, Afghanistan. Had we stayed on point and ignored that Iraq garbage, we'd have caught Bin Laden back in the early 2000's and it would have saved us so much blood and treasure.

Unlike you, I don't "worship" anything but what is morally righteous.
Lying to get us into a war like Bush and Cheney did: Bad.
Getting us out of wars like Biden did: Good.
You don't need to be an "abstract thinker" to know the difference between right and wrong.
Here's another one:
Waging an illegal war in Central America like Reagan did: Wrong.
Prosecuting the criminals in the Reagan admin for the "arms for hostages" shit show: Good.
Let me know if you need any more help with your broke moral compass, Tiffany.
