Of course, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Bolton ran the store while Trump played President.To be honest - I always thought it was Dick Cheney who "goaded" him into that war.
But yes, shameful
Also shameful that Trump just pulled out of Syria leaving our allies behind
No wonder world leaders can't trust him...at all.
By the end of his term Bush began to realize Cheney had bamboozled him. Tried to fix the deepening recession by approving the bailout. I am sure Bush regrets what happened. One reason he vowed to not say one word about the new President. Obama and the elder Bush always got along. So did Clinton. They worked in Haiti together.
Jimmy Carter is the outlier. He remembers what the elder Bush did to get Reagan elected. So do I.
