There were no weapons of mass destruction. And we bombed them anyway. And, by the way he's destroyed the economy. He's squandered something in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars. It seems impossible to Tyler that that might not matter. It drives him insane.

About This Quote

The statement, “there were no weapons of mass destruction,” is a phrase commonly used by those who oppose the war in Iraq. This phrase is used because it allows those who oppose the war to avoid any personal responsibility for the fact that the war was waged and has been lost. Rather than having to take any responsibility for their own ignorance, those who use this phrase can blame others. The truth is that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and they were used by the United States against Iraq.

The United States has squandered something in the neighborhood of a trillion dollars on a failed attempt to make a regime change in Iraq. It’s also important to note that one of the reasons why Bush was reelected in 2004 was because he promised to end the war in Iraq. Apparently, he’s been unable to deliver on his promise and this failure has driven him insane.
