Remember folks, this from the man who dressed up in May 2003 in a flight suit and announced &#8216;Mission Accomplished&#8217; in Iraq. This man boldly proclaimed that Iraq was a slam dunk and we&#8217;d be in and out in no time. Does he really think he holds any kind of credibility at all anymore? No wonder Obama doesn&#8217;t call him for advice. We think that good ol&#8217; Dubya should just keep to painting pictures of himself in the tub.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3629\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3629\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=3629\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3629\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3629\" title=\"bushiraqclueless\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bushiraqclueless.jpg\" alt=\"George W.
