Bush disdained any other solution, and just invaded Afghanistan inflicting countless civilian casualties (don’t count votes in Florida or civilian deaths in Afghanistan); a very serious mass homicide of innocent human beings. And thus began the US taxpayer-financed-half-trillion+interest $ war that seven years later drags on with no apparent clear justification, purpose or objective.
So everybody’s fighting a war, but for what? nobody can say. And no one can say what a USA/NATO “victory” would be.

torturing
and otherwise abusing the human rights of tens of millions of people…..jeeez!...(Its a good thing for Bush and his GOP comrades that he disdained the International Criminal Court huh?)….

What is your priority?
It was the responsibility, and you’d think they would have known it was their responsibility, of anyone amongst the White House Press Corpses to ask Bush:
