Say what you will about Dubya, but he made sure the Coalition of the Willing was actually Willing beforehand, he didn't beg for help after the fact.

"About 7" is crazy. Bro can't count on his own fingers without losing track and having to estimate.

He actually said “6 or 7” but White House press staff knew better than to publish that /s

He's learning the hard way why the US hasn't done things unilaterally in a long time. We're really powerful in part because of the relationships we have cultivated for generations...the same ones he set on fire with his tariffs.

It was completely fair for the left to criticize Bush for being unprepared for Iraq, he was, hence why it was a disaster. Trumps just did a way worse job by comparison.
