Why wasn't former President Bush of the USA, charged with any crimes, when we marched into Afghanistan and Iraq by his orders, under pretenses?

Iraq was different. It was mostly a US and British invasion, under false pretences

Lil Bush didn't even really know...

He was just a puppet, and Cheney was part of his dad's "old guard". Lil Bush knew the game, so Cheney set it up so every intel agency reported to Dick Cheney, and Dick Cheney decided if that info went anywhere else, including Lil Bush.

Cheney wanted the war, so he only passed on info that would cause the war, and it's entirely likely he was the only member of the American government who could have seen 9/11 coming. The reason no one else could, was everything has to go thru Cheney, and he saw everything.

I'm not saying Lil Bush is innocent, I'm saying he was a useful idiot that knew he was just a puppet and went along with

But it pisses me off everyone acts like the puppet fall guy is who we should be upset with, not the people who were actually doing stuff and still work with the American Republican political party.
