To say McCain repented on his deathbed is far too generous. His actions to the last day he was in office betray any notion that he had a change of outlook on foreign policy issues. The same goes for Biden, Hillary and other Iraq War proponents who now say it was"a mistake".

The common bipartisan refrain that the Iraq war was "a mistake, a blunder, etc." is a PR ritual used by US imperialism's staunchest proponents to distance themselves the most obviously eqregious example of bad foreign policy.Iraq is presented as an exception rather than the rule.

And Trump himself opposed the war in Iraq and the proxy wars in Lubya and in Syria. He was partly elected thanks to his positions. But he was forced to take some neocons funded by Israel to lead the US diplomacy. Hopefully this will be the last one.

Pence is nearly as bad, and probably a good part of why Bolton was where he was.

Exactly. I don’t understand how trump is getting a pass from his supporters for hiring him in the first place
-
He’s not getting a pass. He hired him and many of us didn’t like it. Now that he’s removed him people are pleased. Pretty straightforward actually.

I'm thinking it was done for either media trolling by Trump or some sort of shadowy agreement with the Deep State, but obviously Trump never took Bolton's advice or we would be in about 20 new wars by now.

For McCain this was a weaksause confession. We all know it was a complete failure. Thought he would say something about regretting lobbying against returning POWs from Vietnam. Nope.pic.twitter.com/fP7yxZairm
