Jesse Ventura: If Bush and Cheney didn't invade Iraq, there would be no ISIS
Ventura also warned about how the United States will be perceived if they continue down the same path of the previous administrations. Ventura quoted former Vice President Dick Cheney, when he claimed that the United States would be greeted as "liberators" during the Iraq war.
"Dick Cheney told us we would be greeted as liberators when we went in there. Well we were hardly treated as liberates, unless IEDs are greetings of liberation. We were greeted as invaders and we've been greeted as that every since that awful war took place."
Ventura didn't stop at his criticism of Bush and Cheney, also putting blame on the mainstream media. Highlighting the lack of depth of their reporting, the former Navy frogman accused many media outlets of either covering up or simply not doing their job.
"I watch mainstream media, when I do, and they don't say one word about the origins of all of this, which goes back to us invading Iraq, and overthrowing Saddam's stable government. We turned everything into chaos over there."

Ventura has been, if nothing else, consistent on his views when it comes to war. "This is us at perennial war, we are a war based economy now, they created that." Ventura said. "They have to keep feeding the machine and the only way you keep feeding the machine is having wars in these third world places were we can supply the weapons, the machinery and a few troops here or there, that keep the war machine going." the former governor stated, shaking his head in disgust.
President Obama has repeated that there will be no American "boots on the ground" in Iraq or Syria as the United States attempts to curb the violence and help stabilize the region. The president did note that combat troops on the ground might be necessary, but that they wont come from the U.S. military. If Obama has a change of heart, Ventura has previously stated that Bush and Cheney should be put on the front lines

= new reply since forum marked as read
Back in the thirty's, the republicans were the peace-nicks who would say let's stay away and not get involved. It's like saying if people didn't want cotton, we wouldn't of kidnapped people to make them slaves. They say the end justifies the means but what and where has anything ended? The problem is people and what they choose
