After 9-11, we gave Bush a 9-11 card where he could do anything in the name of fighting terrorismYou could say that the U.S. was tricked into WW2 when FDR grossly underestimated the Japanese military and invited attack so that we could get into the "real war" in Europe. You could say that the U.S. was tricked into Korea when Truman sent Troops on an executive order and bungled the conflict to such an extent that we lost an estimated 50,000 Americans during the three year quagmire that should have lasted six months. We know that the U.S. was tricked into Vietnam with a fake crisis created by LBJ and he rigged the conflict so that we could win every battle and still lose the war.God knows that Bill Clinton tricked NATO into bombing a defenseless country into the stone age when he was caught with his pants down. President Bush did everything on the up and up and even gave Saddam a year to comply with U.N. sanctions. Somehow, with the cooperation of the left wing media, the small minded angry left got it into their small minds that they were tricked into the Iraq conflict when congress including 36% of democrats voted for boots on the ground.
Bush abused our faith in an unnecessary invasion of Iraq[/QUO
If "we" (36% of elected democrats and a majority of republicans) gave President Bush a 9-11 card where he could DO ANYTHING in the name of fighting terrorism it follows that the only way he could have abused our faith is to do nothing. The dirty little secret is that democrats took back the 9-11 card and undermined the mission and then (with the cooperation of the left wing media) pretended that they were "tricked". Even though it makes democrats look like fools it seems that the concept works for angry lefties who supported Clinton's carpet bombing of a defenseless country but it still doesn't make sense.
