    Trump vs the Bush administration

    http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/06/op...gen/index.html

    Someone comments on Trump's latest claims that Saddam contained the terrorist elements while the Bush administration unleashed them. It's a good read.

    The existence of and success of ISIS in the world today can be traced back to the Bush admin's decision to act largely based on testimonies produced under torture. What happened was that several different terrorists gave their interrogators the information that they wanted in order to find release from systematic torture, irrespective of whether or not that information was truthful, which it was not.

    Former British prime minister Tony Blair apologized in a speech recently for the mess their coalition made back in 2003. I find that commendable and his honesty may have something to do with his being a professing Christian.

    That's strange, I heard the part of his speech where he apologized myself. Do you have a link for that ?

    "If I was back in the same place with the same information, I would take the same decision,” he said. “I can look not just at the families of this country, but the nation in the eye, and say I did not mislead this country. I made the decision in good faith on the information I had at the time.”

    He's basically shifting the blame over to the Bush administration and their faulty intelligence.

    Sounds like he is trying to vindicate himself to the degree possible in the face of possible prosecution. Meaning it is a PR job.

    It's all part of the bigger picture which is satan has come down with vengeance knowing his time is short... satan is causing world leaders to do crazy things and we haven't seen anything yet.

    It's gonna get real crazy soon... especially here in the US where judgement is long, long overdue.

    This nation has done all it can to kick God out and since God is not mocked we will reap what we sow (Gal 6:7,8)... he's about to let us go it alone without Him and see how we like it (Romans 1)
