It was not a “waste”. We got rid of a horrible tyrant and wasted thousands upon thousands of Islamists. That’s worth a good bit.

If Bush had gone to the U.N, our allies, Congress and the American people and said that he wanted to “get rid of a horrible tyrant” he would have been laughed off the podium. There are dozens of horrible tyrants in the world. Always have been. That’s never been a good enough reason for us to start a war.

If that was his reason, why didn’t he say so from the beginning? Instead he lied.
