    I like what you said at the end. Bush’s first term was when I was in highschool. I remember thinking he was a buffoon who just wanted to finish his daddy’s dispute with Saddam. It often felt like he was a clown trying to make the SNL writers’ job easier. Hearing about what happened behind the scenes with this event gives a different outlook. The careful discussions don’t sound like the Will Farrell caricature I thought he was. He made some very big mistakes; but unlike most people in such high positions, it sounds like he didn’t refuse to learn from them.

    Neocons/Zionists ran rings around Bush and bent him entirely to their will. Scratch the surface and most things wrong in modern America can be directly attributed to the jew, who has infected the upper echelons of politics and defense and owns most of the media. Ably aided by rats like chenyne and Rumsfeld who only care about money. Bush senior had more sense or better advisors than to do the jews bidding.

    Kinda stupid to admire Bush when his pretext for war was false. Not a fan of Hussein or his ideology but Bush starting the war on terror was extremely reckless and shrugging it off after by saying he learned from his mistakes is kinda foolish.

    My takeaway wasn't that this vindicated bush of his mistakes, nor did it come off to me that the host was excusing him for them, but that his administration recognized those mistakes and made attempts to not repeat them (at least in this case). The host summed it up well at the end, I've always heard nothing about bush except his terrible, terrible mistakes, so its interesting to hear about something that implies lessons were learned.

    I wonder why they didn't build a subterranean nuclear reactor at the Al Kibar site, and dig underground tunnels towards the Euphrates for the cooling water. Although costing a lot more time, moeny and effort, the Syrians could probably have kept the entire thing from ever being discovered until it was too late and they succesfully had produced nukes. Maybe I just don't know enough about the local geography, but considering Iran ended up building a substantial part of it's massive nuclear program underground as well, I don't see why the Syrians couldn't have done the same. Even if they somehow wouldn't have been able to prevent foreign intelligence agencies from finding out, it would have made it very difficult if not impossible for them to bomb and thus neutralise their nuclear program, which is a large part of the reason for the Iranians having gone underground.

    Don’t forget that it’s very difficult expensive and defensible to deliver nuclear weapons against any advanced military, while biological and chemical weapons are cheap, easy to deliver and difficult to defense against so the whole thing is not exactly related to the nuclear weapons defense but mostly about preventing other nations from advancing technologically, which increases their strategic significance. So I would not raise too much stake on the relationship between two countries where one is acting as the horse and the other acting as the jockey you always need the horse to be moving so how much does the jockey really care about the horse if the horse stops moving, just saying i’ll leave it to your imagination think about it.

    Powerful video that seems much more relevant for people who are not aware of this information, than entertainment videos one does not learn anything from. Finding myself feeling very uneducated about this subject matter, after your presentation, which is making me realize the importance of an educated population concerning matters, that effect the freedoms and security, of the Untied Stares and Israel. At 54 how is it I did not know these things, before today, is actually scary to me for this type knowledge does sway a persons viewpoints. Today I try to stay on top of what’s going on that effects the security of Israel, because it’s clear our destinies are intertwined by design, and this information concerning the way you laid it out pretty much pulls it all together for me. This battle has been going on throughout history between communism that embraces hate and control, and Judaism and Christianity that embraces love and freedom. In the end we know who wins this fight. Thank you 🙏🏼 and I appreciate your efforts to make more people aware of truth. Gods Blessings
