Yes Trump is bad, hostile, mean, nuts, or whatever. Never compare him to Bush Jr. Bush Jr. was responsible for the Iraq War that killed tens of thousands and destroyed communities and social systems beyond any recognition.

Following information from Wikipedia at the link below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Iraq_War
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Estimates of the casualties from the conflict in Iraq since 2003 (beginning with the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, and the ensuing occupation and insurgency) have come in many forms, and the accuracy of the information available on different types of Iraq War casualties varies greatly.

Credible estimates of Iraq War casualties range from 110,000 to 460,000.[1] Other highly disputed estimates, such as the 2006 Lancet study, and the 2007 Opinion Research Business survey, put the numbers as high as 650,000 and 1.2 million respectively.

Hit the link above to see more, but here is the total of U.S service people, least we forget:

As of June 29, 2016, according to the U.S. Department of Defense casualty website, there were 4,424 total deaths (including both killed in action and non-hostile) and 31,952 wounded in action (WIA) as a result of Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a part of Operation New Dawn, which was initiated on September 1, 2010, there were 73 total deaths (including KIA and non-hostile) and 295 WIA.[49] See the references for a breakdown of the wounded, injured, ill, those returned to duty (RTD), those requiring medical air transport, non-hostile-related medical air transports, non-hostile injuries, diseases, or other medical reasons

Here is the number confirmed of Iraqi war dead, civilians and soldiers.

Associated Press Estimates..
Associated Press stated that more than 110,600 Iraqis had been killed since the start of the war to April 2009. This number is per the Health Ministry tally of 87,215 covering January 1, 2005, to February 28, 2009 combined with counts of casualties for 2003–2004, and after February 29, 2009, from hospital sources and media reports

The Iraq Body Count project (IBC) figure of Documented civilian deaths from violence is 173,686 – 193,965 as of April 2017. This includes reported civilian deaths due to Coalition and insurgent military action, sectarian violence and increased criminal violence.[17] The IBC site states: "it should be noted that many deaths will probably go unreported or unrecorded by officials and media."[18] The IBC website currently states that, "Further analysis of the WikiLeaks' Iraq War Logs may add 12,000 civilian deaths."

_________________________________________________________________________________________

If you hit the link, there are many different sources and many more numbers, but Bush Jr. was responsible for that war and the deaths and destruction that resulted from it...We Must Never Forget That..NEVER..

Also, during the Iraq War..Bush Jr. approved torture of prisoners in order to obtain information, which is prohibited by the United States Constitution which Bush Jr. swore to uphold. When I think about that it is disgusting.

[pangaia]

1. Bush always was and still is a shit stain on humanity.

This crap about Democratic presidents standing with him makes me sick. I don;t care WHAT the cause. They don't need him Nor his pathetic father.

And he is a terrible painter...

[Stuart G]

4. I agree completely..these words, "..shit stain on humanity." really define him

He has hurt and killed so many people. And others act as though he is OK and much better than Trump. Remember he lied us into the war, along with his crew of liars. And it took awhile for us to see them as they were/are. Total and complete liars. They lied in order to kill.
..................... Think about that one.

[Gabi Hayes]

2. His puppeteers stole two elections, while defaming

the reputations of two fine men, following the standard KGOP campaign handbook established in 1968, and followed for the last half century

Works pretty well for them, yes?

[KPN]

3. Amen.

[elleng]

5. cheney

[Stuart G]

7. ..That's right....cheney...as big an ass**le as ever lived. But Bush Jr. selected him.

That was his decision. No one else.

[radical noodle]

18. Actually,

I think it was Cheney's decision. Cheney was supposed to pick a VP for Dubya, and ended up picking himself. Big surprise. I've always thought Cheney was more evil. Bush was mostly dumb and easily led.

[Bluepinky]

8. And Karl Rove, what a creep.

[coolsandy]

6. Hmmm....

[Skittles]

19. there is nothing to HMMMMM about

people are still dying because of that lying, thieving, warmongering bastard

[Initech]

9. Their goal of a never ending war machine was accomplished.

And we will never end these god forsaken wars either. The military industrial complex got what they wanted. Bastards!

[Stuart G]

10. Also, Bush Jr. deliverately violated the 8th Ammendment to the Constitution by approving torture.

8th Amendment to the Constitution: ... " The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits the federal government from imposing cruel and unusual punishment for federal crimes. The amendment states, "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishment inflicted."

Bush approved torture of prisoners during the Iraq War..

[KY_EnviroGuy]

11. For Shrub, this does not include deaths & displacement in Afghanistan.

Numbers are still growing.

[C Moon]

12. If that is going on here, it's gotta be GOP'rs.

I've been noticing a lot of posting and then deleting going on.
Does that build up their posts, and increase their chances of getting in the jury pool?
After seeing them knock down DU on election night, I keep a look out for the freaks posting here.

[burrowowl]

13. His Father and Raygun very evil too!

Iran-Contra 200,000 to 250,000 Guatemalan Native People's massacred! Whole villages wiped out.

[bottomofthehill]

14. And Trump steps up and says "Hold my Beer"

Korea will eclipse the Bush numbers in the first 1/2 hour of the conflict. Lets not look back 16 years, lets look at the problem currently in front of us .

[BannonsLiver]

15. Here here

It is a pointless debate. Like arguing what’s the best STD to contract.

[Skittles]

20. fuck that shyte

I'll keep looking back as soon as people stop acting like the fact we have an orange shit stain as "president" mitigates in ANY WAY the horrors of GEORGE W. FUCKING BUSH.

[bottomofthehill]

25. It does not mitigate that W was a shittard, but there is nothing that we can do about it.

The election was stolen in 2000, it is not coming back and there is nothing to do, move ahead and remember that these people will stop at nothing so we must up our game. The important thing is what are we doing now... there are elections in VA and NJ this year, mid-term elections nation wide next year. Worry about what we can change, not what we can not.

[Duppers]

16. The reason I found my way to DU to begin with

I'll never forget what that group of criminals did.

Thank you for posting the reminder.

[pnwmom]

17. And yet Trump has the potential to be infinitely worse.

The shrub never threatened to drop nuclear bombs on North Korea.

[pansypoo53219]

21. YES. he still is the worst. the morons destruction still is not high enough.

[JI7]

22. he isn't being resurrected. people are praising him for speaking out against trump, not for

what kind of president he was.

[obamanut2012]

24. +1

[VOX]

23. When I think Shrub, I see Cheney.

Bush 2 never really seemed to be in control. Darth Cheney was the stringpuller for the empty suit (and empty head).

[hibbing]

26. Never forget

I'll have some serious rage for that man until I die. Using the tragedy of the bombings in NYC to start an unjust and immoral war is about as cynical and evil as you can get.


Peace

[argyl]

27. Actually, he started two.
