He was 100 % OFF About the Iraq War and the Region!
It is one thing to make a few errors or misstatements about how a war will unfold. However to be totally wrong about every aspect and outcome is another matter. Here are the statements that Bush and Cheney made about Iraq and what time have shown to be the truth:
Estimated Cost - $40-60 Billion. $500 Billion so far with more to come.
We would be welcomed as Liberators – The Iraqi people consider us as Occupiers and the greater Moslem World as the Great Satan. We have created millions of new radicals that have increased the risk of future attacks on our country.
“Major Combat Operations have ended” - 95% of American Deaths and Injuries took place AFTER this statement by Bush in the spring of 2003!
Election in January 2005 will create a stable democracy. – Violence got progressively worse ever since that election and Iraq has need destabilized. The new government is like the one we can not deal with in Iran.
Our troops will stand down as the Iraqi troops stand up- Iraqi troops NEVER stand UP!
We need to rebuild the Iraqi Infrastructure- This has not happened. $9 of the $21 Billion American Taxpayers provided CAN NOT BE ACCOUNTED FOR!
Saddam had WMD. We could not risk a mushroom cloud over our cities- There was NO Nuclear Program, and no Bio weapons. The ONLY thing that was found was some OLD gas filled Artillery Shells.
Iraq will become a stable democracy that will spread thought the region- WRONG. We have not only destabilized Iraq but risk a much wider war in the region from our invasion. We released the sectarian violence that has created a Civil War in Iraq and enabled foreign terrorists to operate in western Iraq..
NOT ONE OF THE BUSH/CHENEY statements before and during this war have proven to be correct!
