As for Bush protecting the American people against terrorism:

Since at least the beginning of 2005, it should have been obvious to anyone who reads the newspapers that the invasion of Iraq generated the worst growth pf people wnat to kill Americans then in the nation's history. Iraq has become the training ground for people wanting to kill Americans.

As for the decision to start a war and invade Iraq:

• Iraq was no threat to the United States.
   
• Overwhelming evidence existed that it did not have any weapons that would be a threat to the United States.
  
• that Iraq didn't have the capability of deliving WMD if they had them.
  
• That Iraq was not developing chemical weapons.
  
• That Iraq had not ordered yellow-cake from Niger. And if they had, nuclear weapons are not developed in a closet, when every other country including the United States needed major plants to develop them. And if they did have, no country would dare send one of a very limited number of nuclear weapons to the United States, knowing that the thousands of nuclear weapons the United States had would wipe out their country if they ever made such attempt.   

Blowback Consequences for the United States From Such Arrogant and Deadly Misconduct:

• Suitcase nuclear bombs exploding in U.S. cities. (The theft of suitcase nuclear devices has been reported in Defrauding America book.)
  
• Shooting down of U.S. airlines overseas and in the United States, causing additional harm to the U.S. airlines and probable bankruptcies.
  
• Sabotage of U.S. interests throughout the world.
  
• Enormous financial distress arising from this conduct. This financial distress can include, for instance:
  
• Pulling out of billions of dollars of funding by foreign countriesincluding the financing of U.S. indebtedness by communist countries (the same countries that U.S. politicians called justification for prior invasions and the Cold War). This could probably lead to a 1930 type of financial depression, but this time with riots and anarchy destroying the country.
  
• Change of payments from U.S. dollars to another form of currency by the world's oil producers.
  
• The present billions of dollars of extra cost for fuel due to the actions by White House politicians invading Iraq and causing countries such as Iran to hate America.
  
• Foreign countries avoiding purchase of U.S. goods, adding to the financial instability in the United States.
  
• Collapse of the house of cards in the United States, adversely affecting most all areas in the United States. Where Social Security payments were questionable for the younger generation prior to the destabilizing actions of the Bush Administration, the lack of money due to the enormous cost of the Iraq blunder increases the probability that there won't be any money available for Social Security and other social programs.
  

• Helping that segment of the American people bring these events into being:

• Members of Congress that aided and abetted the actions of the Bush Administration.
   
• The media people who lied, engaged in deception or cover-ups.
   
• The media people who lacked courage to report the lies and deception, choosing the safe path of following the herd.
   
• Members of the public who supported the invasion of Iraq that they knew would result in many innocent Iraqis killed and maimed, or who voted for President George W. Bush. That segment of the American has been the basis for the book, Those Ugly Americans: 20th and 21st Centuries.
  
• And for everyone in the United States, get ready for far worse consequences to be personally felt! Those who supported the invasion of Iraq share guilt in the deaths of several hundred thousand Iraqis, most being women and children.
