Like MTV. One degenerate house party.

Well, we found out Bush was literally Hitler, and bush was a monkey.
However, Since Bush was a Globalist operative, the shills kept their rabid ranting to an acceptable level

I remember sitting in a New York bar on the night that the bombs starting dropping on Baghdad and thinking "these fucking idiots. They have no idea what they've just started."

Nearly 15 years later, and we're still at war, with no end in sight and no appreciable gains. It's the longest war in our history, and we have absolutely nothing to show for it.

To that end, the Bush years really did mark significant leap forward in the fall of the US. In that way, the terrorists really did succeed on 9/11 in their aim to take down our nation.

fun

Kinda like this, but a few hit us, in the shape of planes.

Iraqi-Australian here, although my parents left when they were early 20s so I've never been. I cried when America invaded Iraq for no good reason in 2003 and killed a million innocent Iraqis. Now Saddam was evil but the people of Iraq unquestionably lived safer more prosperous lives under Saddam than under the boot of the US military and their puppets in charge now.

status quo

Far more stable surprisingly. 2001-2013 was alright for the UK even with the encroaching Pakis, 7/7 and the Glasgow bombing. It wasn't no hyper fuck up May government or independence referendum frenzy.

>BUSH IS MENTALLY RETARDED

>IMPEACH IMPEACH IMPEACH

Pretty much that for 8 years.

You actually miss the Blair years? you fucking degenerate, you probably love all his police state bullshit as well.

a slow and subtle decay into what's now the current state of america

I wasn't paying attention. I think he played the congo drums one time.

Early redpilling. Half the shit the media called bush on, they didn't do for king nigger, even when he did the same.

And all those shitty '''''''comedians'''''' who basically just say 'george bush amirite' while the monkeys laugh.

Well I certainly don't miss the Major years.

I really like the song "bombs over baghdad" but seeing it happen fucked me up bad. Saddam was keeping a lid on some shit and we totally fucked it up for everyone else in that country. But he did have nukes, they were transported out weeks before we got there. Theres proof of this out there unless its been scrubbed.

I think it's funny that people lose their shit claiming that calling someone a monkey is racist when we had 8 years of our white president being compared to one.

i rate his time in office 9/11

How are these pics related?

They were trash. We expanded Medicare, adding part D which is basically bankrupting our country in addition to the two quagmires that Bush got us involved in within the Middle East. Before Bush Jr's two terms, Bill Clinton had America on track to be out of debt within the next 10 years. The Bushes, Saudis, and Mossad put an end to any hope of national prosperity when they orchestrated 9/11. Ever since then our debt has ballooned to 20 trillion USD.

Oh, and his brilliant fucking tax cuts that removed a ton of revenue the government would otherwise have made.

...

Michael Chertoff sold liberty, Secretary of State lied about everything, etc. Obama was pretty much just a continuation.

Media was better (smith-mundt modernization wasn't a thing yet) and the sjw plague wasn't totally normative yet.

No Child Left Behind destroyed our school system even more than it already was

Just shit absolute fucking shit
>Unlimited Mexicans
>welfare war for sandniggers
>More nigger boomer money with medicare
>shit economy
>didn't see 9/11 coming
>more Jew tax cuts
Last 16 years totally fucked
DJ is the only thing I've liked in the white house since Jefferson banged his slaves

He wanted nukes, no doubt, but he didn't have them that is just ridiculous. He wanted them for the same reason NK and Kim Jong-un are untouchable now. Nukes mean you have to be treated with respect and you can safely ignore the threats of the USA.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq did not exist before the USA invaded. Perhaps the worst decision was to install that useless cunt Bremer as head of the CPA. His decision to ignore looting, disband the Iraqi army and ban Baathists from ALL .gov positions caused the insurgency. No doubt about it.

maybe we should just pay these guys off. gotta be cheaper.

Oh, and Dick Cheney and the neocons in Bushes cabinet created the PATRIOT act which authorized the government to do whatever they want to you or your information as long as it's for "national security." They also ran a bunch of CIA black sites, and they established Guantanamo Bay as well as approving the use of interrogation techniques that could arguably be described as torture.

>Saddam was evil
Why is that? Because he refused to bow down to the Jew World Order? Just like the leaders of Cuba, Iran, and North Korea are evil?

No, his treatment of his people was cruel and evil. I am largely supportive of his foreign policy.

Oh, and the deregulation that both Clinton and Bush introduced ended up leading to the 2008 financial collapse. Wall Street almost crashed the world economy. And people still think that blanket deregulation of the financial sector is a good idea. Hahahahaha.

i knew it was doomed when they pulled out.

If you ever put me in one of these, lose the windows pls

after totally messing up the government.

>Economy? GONE. Wars? FOREVER.
Thank god Kojima invented the war economy

>his treatment of his people
Bombing them is better?

Why no window for you? I would love to watch you shower and use the toilet.

did jack shit about illegal immigration
Started two wars for israel
Medicare Part D
patriot act

Why was the music industry so against him bros?

I prefer isolation. Always an outlier.

This is now a Jeb thread.

better than fucking clinton, that's for sure

Pre-9/11 was pretty normal, just tax cuts and picking up the pieces of the dot-com bubble. It can't be understated how huge 9/11 was, not just for domestic/foreign policy but for the very social fabric of the world. For me that entire period is shrouded in a fog of cynicism, doubt, and fear that lasted through the housing bubble. I don't think it was until maybe 2010 that it lifted for the most part.

In that sense, I think Bush was put in a shitty situation that very few people could have reasonably responded to. It opened up a can of worms that we still haven't closed but he did a decent job in containing it (especially in the later years when he loosened up a bit). While I don't necessarily want a Bush 2.0 and concede that he made mistakes, I also think that the vitriol he dealt with during his tenure was blown way out of proportion and that he deserves more credit than he gets.

would you be ok with your CO's watching you on CCTV masturbating and showering etc?

comfy
also this

Bush was literally the worst president ever and literally Hitler too.

The invasion of Iraq was unjustified, illegal and cost the USA many lives and untold trillions.

>his treatment of his people was cruel and evil
How so? I honestly don't know much about his treatment, I always assumed most of it would be propaganda either way, and I found Ba'athism to be quite similar in goals and worldview to National Socialism. I know that he was Sunni in a majority Shia country, which necessarily means that many would oppose him within the nation. Are you Shia?

imagine if trump played up his dumbass persona created by media instead of fighting it, then used persona as excuse for missing trillions, terrorists attacks and fumbling pointless unending goalless wars. People still buy it to this day. Guy turns out was pretty smart and probably the greatest thief of all time.

Would it really matter if I was okay with it? I'd assume it would be hotter to him if I wasn't okay with it

well at least it was stable before they got rid of him. shit we need him back.

ya know its funny that the two most recent republican pres had this hollered at them for 8 years straight by lunatic leftists
bush was legit pretty funny and smart as a whip desu

We had Paris Hilton rather than that nigger tier Kardassian ho.

Liveleak glory years
pretty comfy desu

Let's put 9/11 aside and look at Bush's other policies. The problem was, he was just SO FUCKING INCOMPETENT. His big education reform ("No Child Left Behind") was a dismal failure that the GOP Congress itself repealed in 2015. His Medicare D plan forbade the government from negotiating drug prices, and is a massive drain on the budget. His proposed social security reform plan went nowhere. The Iraq war was an expensive disaster (and no, Iraq was NOT related to 9/11, since no hijackers were fucking Iraqis). He banned online poker (UIGEA in 2006, snuck into a fucking "port security" bill). He doubled the national debt after pledging to reduce it. And then he ended his term with BANKER BAILOUTS.

What a fucking disaster.

I'm just shocked at how Bush was unironically portrayed to be the worst thing in this country's history and now they're willing to suck his figurative dick.

Yes, my family are Shia Muslim and I don't know if you're trolling or not but he literally gassed an entire town of Kurds after decades of oppressing them.

He ran secret police snatch squads to assassinate dissidents.

he spoke out against trump. so now hes there best friend.

Are you slim/cute?

I mean he maintained a poker face throughout orchestrating 9/11 with Cheney, for that alone he'll go down as top 10 best ever
plus he's a pretty good painter, dude was a savant, talented, handsome
that's why hes hated, he's everything they'll never be

yeah but look at the mess the middle east is today.

Yes? you seem to think you can't criticise one party without being an absolute fan and defender of the other. Both sides did wrong.

agreed.

trips of truth

Underage b&

Yeah, that's nothing new...

Not trolling, I sincerely didn't know, I wasn't taught about why we invaded Iraq in the 90's, and the only thing I remember from the news was that Saddam had Weapons of Mass Destruction.
I genuinely don't know who was right, wrong, or whether any events given actually happened or not when you refer to gassing Kurds and running secret police squads because I don't trust the media saying Saddam is pure evil and I don't trust the media supporting him. The only thing I know is that I have sympathies with pan-Arab nationalism, anti-colonialism, and the socialist economics of Ba'athism, whether such things are feasible or not I have no idea.

...

I remember the hot ash from the plane that hit the Pentagon falling on my left cheek, less then an inch from my eye, as I went to go get my car from the underground parking lot across the street from where I worked in Crystal City.

When the bombs started dropping on Iraq, the only annoyance I felt was that they were not going to be nukes.

Both Afghanistan and Iraq should be glass deserts.

Fuck no, I'm stocky and have cancer. Also I'm married.

Circumcised at least?

yeah i was all for war. it just doesn't seemed to have worked. kek slight pufar.

>plane that hit the Pentagon

>thinking 9/11 was done by terrorists.

The Bush years started off as a time of optimism, Bush could have gotten things done, but instead just made one mess after another.

In the days after 9/11, Bush could have built a 100-foot high along the Mexican border, and probably 90% of Congress would have supported him if he had just made up a little story about one of those 19 Mohammed guys breaking into the country by coming through Mexico, the public would have swalled up anything Bush said in that time period...

but, instead, Bush just waffled on everything, the only accomplishment that Bush had for 8 years was putting normal white males on the Supreme Court, other than that, it was a complete 8 year waste

Speak again when you saw the plane, the fires, and the hole it made in the E and D rings of the Pentagon as in bounced off the parking lot. Until then, take your tinfoil hat theories and be fucking silent.

Like this twit.

Not great but ok, I was drunk and on drugs the entire ride.

1/10 shill, try harder.

/r/ing the Sup Forums edit

it just didn't work. what the fuck was that.

You didn't see shit desu. Don't bullshit s bullshitter

No, it was a complete FUBAR. Happens when you let liberals tell you how you have to wage war. Combine that with the complete raping of the system by the corporations looking for the easy defense dollars and you get the "War on Terrorism".

The only way to fight a war against an enemy using a shield is to have a weapon that goes around, through or destroys the shield. Even if that shield is people, same tactics apply. Nukes would have told the world, don't you FUCKING DARE attack us on our own land. Not even needing the big city busting ones. Just the ones for glassing mountain valleys and various integral infrastructure pieces like power plants, major bridges, oil fields and the like.

>Both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia should be glass deserts.

FTFY

Bush years are the same as now. Jew controlled government.

It's funny to think in retrospect how much shitlibs hated Bush when he turned out to be about the most milquetoast cuckservative ever.

Some of you kids are probably too young to remember the 2004 election, when Bush won his second term. The left was almost as nasty towards Dubya then as they were to Trump in 2016. Almost.

> What were the Bush years like?
Hmmmmm.....let me think.....

it's like what the hell did i just watch.

Back in the bush days Alex Jones was considered left wing conspiracy because anyone who question the official story of 9/11 was a left wing conspiracy nut.

Kid, go outside. Look at the sky. Walk around. Breathe. Then go back home, take a steak knife and drive it through your left eye into the cavity within your skull. Drive it all the way to the back and give a good couple of swishes around. Eventually you should hit the medulla oblongata with a downward stroke.

Once you do, all of your problems will cease. And you will improve the human species.

imagine living in a mediocre apartment, it's early 2006, most people are still furious that he got reelected, but you and your hot topic gf are apolitical and spend your time playing ps2, eating Domino's, and listening to Tool instead of worrying about what the president that everyone hates is up to. In the evening, you go to that club your gf's friend with all the piercings has been talking about. You get home, it's after midnight, and you watch Fight Club on your ps2's DVD player. That's what the Bush Years were like

The Bush years were an utter bore, everyone drank the normie koolaide. The only white nationalists were on Stormfront and stormfags were always gay and annoying.

Redpilling happened on message boards.

i mean, we can't even subdue iraq. whats the point of even trying anymore.

saddam is evil bc he started a war with Iran that we talked him into. saddam is evil bc he invaded Kuwait after they wouldn't stop slant drilling oil from Iraqi soil. he was one of the last secularish pan-arab leaders. he wore out his usefulness.

CIA nigger spotted

...

Nah, I don't die until you admit the truth.

So much more ridiculous than now but people seem to forget quick.

good TV is the one thing i miss.
david letterman used to roast bush daily and it was actually funny.
he also went ape shit on muslims after 9/11.

and were gonna beat nk whos spent all there money on arms for the last 20 years. yeah ok nigga.
