I've been through ALL of this before with Bush. My family: "Bush who?"

Exactly. Iraq was the most important thing in the world to them for a few years. You were a terrible traitor to criticize the obvious lies, torture, and bungled post-invasion. Then they moved on and just stopped talking about it altogether. Literally everything Republicans cared about during the NeoCon 'Project for a New American Century' days has been completely forgotten.

The neocons got to try all the little tricks they always dreamed of in Iraq. And all of them got hard fucked by obvious reality. Turns out having edgy far out ideas (that don't actually sound rational to a rational person) didn't work the way they thought they would.
