    Investigate something real, the Iraq war crimes

    I’m tired of hearing about Hillary’s emails and Benghazi. The FBI concluded Hillary was careless with her emails. Investigations found no wrongdoing on Benghazi. Now the Republicans want another investigation on the emails. 

    Ken Starr investigated Bill Clinton for eight years, wasting millions of tax dollars. All he found was that Bill lied about having sex with Monica Lewinsky. 

    Let’s have an investigation of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld for starting a war with Iraq without cause. They lied about the weapons of mass destruction and that the 9-11 terrorists came from Iraq. 

    These three guys caused most of the turmoil in Iraq that we have today. The U.S. bombed the hell out of the country, destabilized it, destroyed hospitals, schools, homes and most of the infrastructure. The only people who benefitted were the defense industry and Halliburton, Cheney’s old company. 

    That war cost us a trillion dollars. In the mean time George W. led us into the worst depression since the 1930s. Uemployment was rampant, banks and giant companies collapsed and the stock market tanked. 

    How many civilians and men and women soldiers from around the world died? How many of our brave men and women lost lives or had arms and legs blown off? 

    Hillary was careless, but she didn’t kill anyone. Can George W. say the same? Why no investigation of him?
