You keep spouting this nonsense as though it were a universally recognized truth. In 1998, George Herbert Walker Bush and Brent Scowcroft published
A World Transformed. This is what they had to say about the issue of invading Iraq and occupying Baghdad:
You have absolutely no basis for your contention, and only make it because you think he should have invaded Iraq, yet you still admire him, so you seek to make excuses for his failure to live up to your expectations. G H W Bush did not believe that Iraq should be invaded and occupied--get over it.
