Former President George W. Bush, who led the United States into wars across the Middle East at the cost of at least 480,000 lives including thousands of Americans, teamed up with former President Bill Clinton to attack President Trump on Wednesday, arguing that wars are necessary “for the sake of peace.”
During a panel alongside former President Bill Clinton at the Nir School of the Heart, Bush laid into Trump for his recent decision to withdraw up to 1,000 American troops from Syria — fulfilling his longheld campaign pledge to stop the endless wars and bring troops home after more than a decade of war.
Bush, whose father George H.W. Bush openly called for a “New World Order” in a 1991 speech, used “doublespeak” worthy of Orwell while attacking Trump’s peaceful foreign policy.

“An isolationist United States is destabilizing around the world,” Bush said, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Rogin. “We are becoming isolationist and that’s dangerous for the sake of peace.”
However, many people questioned whether Bush should be lecturing anybody on “peace.”
Bush led the U.S. into war in Afghanistan and Iraq with deadly consequences for peace and stability in the region and at the cost of thousands of American lives.
More than 4,500 Americans died in Iraq — including more than 3,500 killed in active combat — and up to 205,000 Iraqi citizens died in his bloody war since it began in March 2003.
In total, Bush’s wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and intervention in Pakistan have resulted in the deaths of between 480,000 and 507,000 people — including nearly 7,000 American soldiers who were deployed to the Middle East hotspots.
Today, the vast majority of American veterans and U.S. citizens say that Bush’s wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were “not worth fighting”, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey. Likewise, nearly six-in-ten Americans say U.S. military intervention in Syria is “not worth fighting” or risking more American lives.
Bush also told the audience at the Nir School that his “biggest regret” from his time as president was not passing an amnesty for the estimated 11 to 22 million undocumented immigrants living illegally in the United States, seemingly attacking Trump’s focus on enforcing immigration law and securing the border.
“We are a nation of immigrants but the language coming out of the system today is rejecting immigration,” Bush said, receiving approval and applause from Bill Clinton.
Bush’s continued attacks on President Trump and his “America First” agenda stand in contrast to his silence and refusal to denounce the far-left policies of the Obama administration.
“I don’t think it’s good for the country to have a former president undermine a current president,” Bush said in 2014. “I think it’s bad for the presidency for that matter.”

If he said that these people are clinicaly crazy.
I was a therapist for many years and had to make diagnoses – you are exactly correct!!!
As was the father is the son, garbage.
The Bush-Clinton Crime Cabal has obviously activated the “Nukular” option.

Clinton is just another cocksucking pedo, and his damn idiot wife knows it too. This fucker should have been sent to prison a long time ago, along with his poisonous wife. Clintons were one of the worst things to ever happen to America and to think Democrat fuckers voted in this asshole, even after he demonstrated against America on foreign soil (i.e. Russia and England). Hope he and his ugly wife rot in hell!
Who knew they’d be getting along so famously? Barf.
Bush is a member of the skull and bones secret society originating at Yale, as are most US high level politicians. Some end up as democrats, some end up as republicans, the consist factor is they are against you and your family. If your still caught up in the right and left game, time to give your head a shake
I have more respect for what I just flushed than I do for career politicians.

More lies from the man who helped carry out the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9-11 and destruction of our great nation. I pray he and the rest of his evil satanic NWO cult are utterly destroyed and soon. Hanging or firing squad – either works well.
Why is this idiot still talking?
Trump got rid of ISIS. The world on a whole, in terms of global conflict, have actually been more peaceful. So I don’t know what W is talking about
Neither does he. Just remember Bush lied people died. HE CAN SHOVE HIS GLOBALIST AGENDA.
Do you think?! Bush let the Saudi Royal Family exit the US after 9-11
9/11 was a treasonous, false flag, inside job. Bush, the Clintons, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Silverstien, Giuliani and a host of neocons are unindicted co-conspirators, and are all guilty of that masterpiece crime.
I am truly embarrassed to admit I voted for him. Of course, I wasn’t really much into politics back then. I am learning a lot these and praying a whole lot more.
Bush is nothing but a coward cocksucker. This bastard started conflicts we did not need to be involved in. The fucker was responsible for 9/11, as this was an inside job that Bush, coward Cheney, idiot Rumsfeld were all involved. They had the “Patriot Act” already pre-written to levy on the American public; bastards. Past time to dismantle the damn Homeland Security bullshit department. At least Trump is keeping us out of wars and bringing home the troops. Bush is a liar about having constant conflict. Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Peace.
