His one job was to create profit for weapons manufacturers and he did that job very very well

His job was to do Israel’s bidding and remove Saddam.

Saddam and his family were genuinely awful, to be fair.

That’s a nice side effect.

Declaring war on a concept has never gone well for the states, has it? Drugs, terror, women, the list goes on.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
The war against woman is sadly going strong right now. More than drugs and etc ever has.

Matter of perspective. Ask halliburton how’s it going…

The US isn’t known for winning wars historically.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Seems like it has worked pretty well:
- Vietnam/Korea/etc - most people hate communism
- War on Drugs - police get to arrest minorities, and felons don’t get to vote (suppress minority vote)
- War on Terror - PATRIOT Act is still alive and well, it just has different names now
With the right perspective, they seem pretty successful to me, you just need to peek behind the curtain.

Declaring war on anything. They need the Europeans to invite them to the final hours of one to chalk a W.

I’m holding out hope that we can still turn it around and defeat Santa Claus

Just like the “war on drugs” was never about stopping drugs, this was never about stopping terrorism.

When you wage a war on an enemy, you win when the enemy is dead. When you wage a war on an idea, there’s no final end point.

No, man! He said war OF Terror…

What is anon complaining about he did his job. He declared the war. Then he kicked the can down the road for someone else to get the job of winning it.

First they funded, supported, and grew the terrorism, and THEN, they fought. Then they funded other terrorists. But it’s always in countries with natural resources they want.

Are we really going back this far, right at this moment?

Mate, I was traumatised when Dragonball z and Pokémon were interrupted before school and this dude was on all the TV stations.
Nothing has been any good sense.
doingthestuff@lemy.lol 3 weeks ago
It’s not that far back at all. Most events we know about, everyone who remembers it are dead. This idiot lives in many people’s memories today, and we’re still dealing with some of the consequences.

And his brother was even the establishment favorite to win until Trump took over everything.
GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 3 weeks ago
Gonna be honest, the idiom/meme “had one job” is almost never correct or appropriate and the role of president is certainly a situation where it does not apply. I find it irksome, most of the time, when people say/type it, without actually thinking things through and applying it appropriately. Don’t care if it is an unpopular opinion because it is a fact that it is used incorrectly the vast majority of the time and haters gonna hate, only true appreciators gonna appreciate.

War on drugs - drugs won
War on terror - terror won
War on wokeness - 🤞
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s never been about defeating those things, it’s about expanding power using them as an excuse.
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Exactly.

War on drugs - excuse to kill blacks and mexicans
War on terror - excuse to expand influence in the middles east
War on woke - 😟

Considering how tired and sleepy I feel, they may be winning this one.
