This expert really cuts Bush some slack. One of the world's foremost military historians says that invading Iraq was not the greatest strategic blunder in recorded history; Roman Emperor Augustus screwed up just as badly only 2,014 years ago.
So this puts Bush in comparatively good company--I mean, they named a month after this guy.
(Actually I think Augustus named it after himself.)
Will this be the right-wing pundits' new talking point?
"Hey, it's happened before, just look at Augustus. Nothing new here."
Twit happens!
