Televangelist Pat Robertson on Monday blasted former President George W. Bush for selling Americans a bill of goods before the Iraq invasion, which led to the violence that is currently sweeping across the country.
During his Monday broadcast, a viewer asked Robertson if there was a solution to the ongoing violence caused by an al Qaeda splinter group, ISIS, threatening to take over Iraq.
Right now, what we did and it was a great mistake to go in there, Robertson explained, pointing out that Saddam Husseins bomb maker had said that the then-dictator doesnt know how to make an atomic bomb.
And so to sell the American people on weapons of mass destruction, he had WMD and was getting [concentrated uranium] yellowcake out of Africa and all of that, it was a lot of nonsense,

I was with him right up until he said the only solution is to wait for the Antichrist to compel the Second Coming.

(20,166 posts)actually saying something to the effect that you don't have to like Jesse Jackson to see that the growing economic disparity between the haves and have-nots in America was a bad thing. He even showed a chart demonstrating that the rich were getting richer and poor were getting poorer.
I guess the law of averages predicts that he'll say something reasonable once every few decades, kind of like the roomful of monkeys banging on typewriters eventually writing a line from Shakespeare.
