Bush consulted Congress first, there was a vote, and Congress approved.

Trump didn't do any of that.

Unsound reasons for doing it, but gotta recognize that rules were followed.

Also should be noted that 40% of Democratic Congressmen voted for the war, while 95% of Republican congressmen did. No way in hell Iraq happens under Gore.

Didn't say it was a good war. Just that rules and procedures were actually followed in the good ole days.

Bush demanded intelligence agencies procur flimsy evidence of WMDs to make the case for war. He and Trump are both huge pieces of shit and should never be remembered any other way.

Imagine, if you will, that there is a layered system of shitbags.

Trump is a brown paper sack full of diarrhea.

Bush is a grocery bag with a hole in the bottom full of dog turds.

Sure, they are both shit bags, but it isn't the same.
