If the 9/11 commission couldn’t find evidence of links between al quaeda and Iraq, chances are there weren’t any. If that dick Cheney can’t provide any evidence except saying it over and over again, there probably isn’t any evidence. In fact, the only reason so many people believe it’s true is that Cheney repeated it so often. The fact is that Bush and Cheney lied to us. And thousands died as a result. I don’t understand why that doesn’t make you angry or at least sad. It makes me a lot of both. I really don’t understand how someone can support our troops and our president. He’s getting them killed.
Yes, some senators backed the resolution allowing bush to attack Iraq. They, also, were mislead about intelligence regarding WMD.
You talk about history taking a while to judge presidents. I would bet all my money that in 30 years, GWB will be ranked by historians in the bottom 5. If I had to guess, I’d say he’ll be last.
I’m not a monday morning qb. I said (and blogged) before the war that going into iraq, a war of choice, would accomplish nothing except to turn moderate muslims into radical ones. And I was right then. And I’m right now. And I’ll be right in 30 years.
And if all you can come up with is “al qaeda had ties to iraq” and “some democrats believed there were wmds,” then I think that deep down inside you know I’m right.
Bush invaded iraq because that’s what he and the neocons have wanted to do for a decade. 9/11 was just an excuse. History will make that clear even to those who refuse to see it now.
Stand up and do what’s right for your country. Vote the people who have destroyed our country and killed our countrymen out of office. To do anything else would be very unpatriotic.
