    I don’t hate him but his foregin policy, especially the Iraq war, was in hindsight questionable to say the least.

        Unless you work for the CIA or similar you can’t really tell how questionable or not a decision is until the information is made public. The fact that it’s questionable in hindsight is even worse than being questionable in the moment when you don’t know why they do stuff.

          Is the Iraq war even questionable in hindsight tho? As far as I’m aware, there was basically no reason to go after Iraq other than finishing what Daddy started. Afghanistan I can see it being questionable in hindsight, but Iraq was an unnecessary war from the jump.

            Original statement had the “to say the least” attached to it. I think everyone is taking my intentional misuderstanding of what “bush” OP was referring to way too seriously.
