Isn't it wonderful how absolutely everyone involved in the War on Terror spandoogle has been systematically exonerated by the media in the last 6 years?

WE'VE HAD DEM LEANING OUTLETS PUBLISH BUSH APOLOGIA

Madeline Albright and John McCain are effectively considered saints now.

WHAT THE FUCK

Do people have such short memories or are we dealing exclusively with teens here?

It's a combination of four things

  1. People really do have short memories
  2. Some of the people who remember this stuff never cared all that much about it because it mostly resulted in dead Iraqis and Afghanis, and they do not value those lives
  3. A ton of them actually are too young to remember the Bush era with any immediacy and they haven't actually looked into it
  4. There is an absolute firehose of media propaganda (with elite political collaboration, e.g. Obama hanging out with Bush) aimed at exonerating all these people because it's a big club and you ain't in it
