With the Wisdom of Hindsight, George Bush Blames Obama for Lack of Wars ('Follow-Through' on 'Threats')

Of course we should have won the war. If, if, if, if only we had done
what we now think we should have done.
But Brother George, it didn't work for you. So why do you think it
would work for Barak Obama? While you were giggling and flapping
about on TV, looking for those pesky weapons of mass destruction,
thousands of young people, old people and innocent children were being
singled out for death. All of that was on your watch. You are living
proof of the definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and
over, believing you will get different results. And of course you
should be worried about the world your grand children will inherit.
You laid the foundation. You speak out for violence as an answer to
violence. You are living proof that money can buy anything. Even an
incompetent president.
But I am wasting far too much time venting. Why would anyone even
consider your foolish babbling as worth hearing? Crawl back in your
safe little ranch and finish dying.
