- George Bush presented intelligence, albeit manipulated intelligence. Trump never presented any evidence for anything, and dismissed intelligence when it went against his lies.
- George Bush asked Congress for authorization to use force.
- George Bush spent about a year persuading people. Donald Trump manufactured consent out of whole cloth. "America First means I get to do what I want!!!!"
- George Bush invaded a country that, at some point in the past, had WMDs but could not prove that it had destroyed them. Trump attacked a country that never possessed any, nor was working on one

Oh really, tell me about how Iraq attacked us?
I didn't say that.
Oh I'm sorry, what was the country we went to war with when attacked? Cause apparently it wasn't the one involved in 9/11, the second one he invaded was "supposedly".
We were attacked. That is at least a good excuse for war, on paper.
Like I clearly said, though, the excuses were bullshit.
We never should have attacked Iraq and, no, they didn't attack us. I said we were attacked, not that Iraq attacked us. My point is, Iran hasn't done anything to us, and only responded to Israeli attacks. Nothing is new, there was even less excuses here than with George Bush.

An attack is still an attack, bodies and destruction to rile the people up, the flimsiest of pretenses is different than none at all.
