Iran War

[HVC]

Oh my goodness yeah you're so right that the speech Bush gave had absolutely no connection to the decision to go to war with a rack shortly thereafter.  The American ability to ignore obvious facts to defend their precious republic, and the reputation of their presence is astounding.

You are so weird. I don't see how Bush's gaffe being early on and not later during the run up to the Iraq war reflects any better on the Republic. Just stating when it happened. The funny thing is I would gladly take Bush's rhetoric now. He was a towering statesman compared to the current shitshow. Which just shows how the bar is now in hell.

Also it had nothing to do with what I was talking about. The Iraq War was never called Operation Crusade.

CC is moving rapidly to a Raz phase. Not worth engaging with.

Moving?

We would have named Operation Overlord Operation Norman Conquest today.

Brits looking on nervously, Free French pumped.

Is the 2nd man from the left the French nuclear codes guy or is it the one hidden behind the naval officer nearer the centre, or is it someone else not in picture?
