How can anyone be in favor of any war decisions when this present administration doesn't have a clue ?? They are idiots.
Despite the fact that Hillary said something...or Bubba got a BJ...this mess was caused by bush.
This is a failed plan by the republicans...but the nation is not surprised ! Bush The Republican SCREWED this up so bad......
AND YET there are those grasping at straws in this forum trying to feebly blame dems, expounding vacant thought and babbling insanities....and then what happens when 20,000 more troops go in and 5,000 more get killed in something that can never succeed because of the total incompetance of Bush.
Then who are you Republican geniuses going to blame......
BUSH DID THIS, not hillary..not the dems.
couldn`t find your way out of the closet with your hand on the doorknob....
i would be with you if the biggest fantasies were only coming from the right....however, the left and the msm were just as wrong about iraq as bush appears to be regarding wmd`s...
go back and check the quotes...and check the votes...
i still believe he had wmd programs..and had plenty of time to dispose of,move or hide them.... but,that`s not the point....
you wanna assign blame?....think about oil-for-food.... the u.n. program that was supposed help iraq pay for food and medicine for the women and children who were suffering from the impoverishment by u.n. sanctions since the war ended.....while denying hussein...
hussein tolerated these sanctions, even though he supposedly had no wmd`s.....why did he do that? ....why go through all the economic problems from not accommodating the u.n?..jeopardize his regime.....nobody was asking him to step down....just throw open the doors and account for what they already knew he had.......ala south africa.....they turned in their nukes and changed their regime....
has anyone ever written a story about this?...is there a single journalist who cared?
you wonder why the u.n. handled iraq with kid gloves?...when a united front would have precluded any war?....was the u.n. on the take?....or was it just supremely incompetent? .....
we now know that the program turned out to be a stupendous fraud that lined the pockets of hussein and some 700 companies doing business with our various "allies", whose governments btw were criticizing the u.s. for invading for oil and money....it's in that volcker report you can google......irony? ......the u.n. didn't even seem to know who should be overseeing the program!....corruption, fraud and mismangement....
incompetent,yes...but,the motive was greed....
'it`s really ironic that the left and msm played up the u.n. as the more moral alternative to the u.s. and bush's way.......they say the sanctions were working and that iraq was being successfully contained.....
bullshit... we have over a hundred thousand troops in iraq and can`t keep weapons and terrorists out....you have to be a moron to believe that iraq was being contained....he was still building palaces and god knows what else while children were dying.....
i would go out on a limb to guess that at least the grim milestone of 3000 children died in iraq during those 12 years, thanks to saddam....and it wasn't due to their lack of education....
finally, the left love to claim that bush changed his explanation for why we invaded: from toppling a tyrant with wmd`s to sowing a democracy......
it`s all of the above..the broken u.n. resolutions.....the object lesson of kuwait...(don`t pooh pooh kuwait until you read up on the havoc that saddam perpetrated there).....and what may have happened had he possessed wmd`s when he invaded....
and yes,that means it`s about the oil..and not letting one barbaric leader...or in iran`s case,a barbaric ideology control the civilized world`s economy by obtaining wmd`s having a wedge with which to blackmail the west......and about israel and the democracy`s continued existence....
