Study: Bush, aides made 935 false statements in run-up to war

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush and his top aides publicly made 935 false statements about the security risk posed by Iraq in the two years following September 11, 2001, according to a study released Tuesday by two nonprofit journalism groups.

"In short, the Bush administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003."

Seventy-Two Percent of Americans Support War Against Iraq

You didn't look at the poll. It shows exactly what your poll shows. It shows the 70+% support at the beginning and how the support dropped year by year.
I wish so of us here would think before calling others liars. Or at least not be to lazy to check out a link.

Polls don't mean anything regarding whether the war was a good idea or not.

IIRC, polls during and after the Korean War showed that war to be very unpopular.

Well lookee here......liberal creeps lying again.

Seventy-Two Percent of Americans Support War Against Iraq

72% support.......in a poll from 2003........

The Democrap mantra, "Well, I WAS for the war before I was against it."
Now sing along, polesmokers.

that's one mantra the republicans use more than the democrats .. its like a broken record to them ... get some new material.

 

[whitehall]

Was WW2 a "mistake from the beginning"? Surely the loss of 6,000 Marines in a month on a tiny island that could have been bypassed four months before the end of the war ranks higher on the blunder scale than the loss of 4,500 brave members of the Military that liberated Iraq. Lucky for the low information left and thanks to the union based education system Americans are generally ignorant of not only historic events but anything that happened more than a year ago.

Have you no shame? That poll is from 2003 when Bush was lying out his ass and most patriotic Americans were drinking his Kool-Aid.

 

[ClosedCaption]

But but but I thought the current situation in Iraq is a huge blunder or something for Obama. How could that be when a majority of Americans don't think we should have gone there in the first place?

Because Obama was controlling the Bush admin.

Womp Womp

 

[Camp]

obama inherited an Iraq so successful that he and Biden intended to take credit for one of the greatest achievements of his regime.

Now that his foolishness has made Iraq a basket case he wants to go back and blame Bush.

It was so successful that in 2008 only 9,987 Iraqi civilians were killed in bombings and as collateral damage from combat. It dropped to 4,393 the first year Obama took command.

At the Superbowl, everybody was on Denver at the beginning and the support dropped quarter by quarter. Didn't change the outcome, did it?
Besides, polls are for sheep anyway........and we're all sheep.

I guess I'm one of the low information left. I didn't know the planners for Okinawa knew about the bombs that would become available months after they invaded Okinawa on April 1, '45. I didn't know anyone was even was sure about the results of the first nuke test in the middle of July, two and a half months after the start of Okinawa and after the battle there was long over. Those WWII planners should have had more predictors on their staffs.

Iraq

CNN/ORC Poll. Sept. 6-8, 2013. N=1,022 adults nationwide. Margin of error ± 3.

The poll found that the majority of Americans have felt Iraq was a mistake from the beginning.

"In view of the developments since we first sent our troops to Iraq, do you think the United States made a mistake in sending troops to Iraq, or not?"

And to see DICK defend such a misguided and contrived decision is just sickening. He is a rich, old, delusional old man that needs to just go away.

You got it wrong. Anyone who would support keeping SADDAM in power is delusional. SADDAM had to go. The United States tried other means besides a ground invasion for 12 years prior to 2003 to remove him, but they all failed. This was the last option and it was important it to execute in 2003 as most countries in the region were no longer enforcing sanctions and the embargo against Baghdad do to the money to be made by becoming involved in trading and black market Iraqi oil sales that were making SADDAM BILLIONS of dollars a year. Given that situation, SADDAM needed to be removed before he could rebuild his military capabilities that would make any confrontation with him in the future far costlier than what was experienced.

Also, the most accurate polling company, GALLUP in its last poll on the Iraq war showed that over 40% of Americans DO NOT consider it a mistake to have sent US troops into Iraq.

Let me remind you also that Dick Cheney along with George Bush were re-elected President and Vice President by a popular vote of 51% in November 2004 long after everyone had made an assessment of the invasion of Iraq the missing WMD etc. etc.! That vote was far more accurate than any polls since it involved over 100 million people!

Let me remind you :::


Flashback 2004: "Former US homeland security chief Tom Ridge charges in a new book that top aides to then-president George W. Bush pressured him to raise the "terror alert" level to sway the November 2004 US election."

USA TODAY reporting:

"The Bush administration periodically put the USA on high alert for terrorist attacks even though then-Homeland Security chief Tom Ridge argued there was only flimsy evidence to justify raising the threat level, Ridge now says.

Ridge, who resigned Feb. 1, said Tuesday that he often disagreed with administration officials who wanted to elevate the threat level to orange, or "high" risk of terrorist attack, but was overruled."

It's pretty shitty to prey on people's fears to sway an election.

Or did you forget?



Lie & Milk FEAR off the populace to win an election.

A poll isn't capable of "revealing" any such thing.

At best, it can reveal a public perception about the claim.

That perception can be right or wrong or somewhere in between.

Not to mention that polls can be skewed and kind of crappy pieces of hack nonsense from the get go, anyway.

Maybe you are. Okinawa was a big island Iwo Jima was a tiny island and to his credit FDR actually gasped when he found out what it took. Of course the American people didn't find out about it until the administration could spin it because the administration controlled the media.

It's true. They did. They were duped by the so called liberal media who was parroting the Talking Points put out by the Bush Administration. Those talking points were often misleading and some times just flat out lies. The Administration would leak a story for publication on Friday and then cite that story as a fact for one of their Talking Points on the Sunday talk shows. Simple really, the American public has ADD. But of course as the real fact came out and all of their talking point debunked in public the support for that war diminished.

Bullshit! Bush won! Allegations like that won't change that, plus as President Bush has far more access to intelligence and how could anyone justify going light on security or dismissing threats after 9/11. To do so would be criminal!

Plus all of these allegations were out there before the election. There were multiple high profile movies, including that one by Michael Moore. You had Hollywood and the music industry doing everything they could to lie and disparage Bush to get him out of office. Yet, he still won by a firm majority in the popular vote. The first majority win by any President in the popular vote since 1988! A very significant accomplishment and endorsement of Bush/Cheney and their policies in the first term!

Liberal media succumbed to the fear factor, threw partisanship aside, as 9-11 attack was still fresh in everyones mind.

But but but I thought the current situation in Iraq is a huge blunder or something for Obama. How could that be when a majority of Americans don't think we should have gone there in the first place?

Democrat lawmakers were on board. I do wish you libs would stop lying.

Some of them were. In fact a majority of them in the Senate were, but not a majority in the House. Overall in Congress a majority of Democrats opposed giving President Bush the power to decide. But I'm thinking you already knew that..........

But that matters not, Congress did give the President the power, he used it. He toppled the Iraqi Government and by totally fucking up the occupation, started the Iraq Civil War.
