The one good thing I can say about W is that he has stayed out of politics since he left office.
Unfortunately, it seems his supporters don't have that kind of consideration.
While the man himself has not commented on Obama's current conundrum, they are digging up some words from the past and inserting them now.
In spite of the fact that he got us into this mess to begin with, and in spite of the bigger mess his officials made of Iraq once they got there, and in spite of the fact that he abandoned Afghanistan to go fight the war he really wanted, which gave al-quaida more time to work its will, they now insist he was downright prophetic in saying that we should not leave until every general said we were done.
Of course, they forget how much the American public wanted us to leave, how tired they were of the wars the Bush administration had gleefully committed us to. And they forget that Obama tried to leave a larger force, but the Iraqi government wouldn't agree to it.
We should have done it anyway, I guess.
Bush was willing to ignore the facts to go into war, and his supporters are willing to ignore the facts to make him wise and keep us there for who knows how long.
Maybe they should all take up painting.
