just take party politics out of this for a minuet.
Why was no one held accountable for Iraq? Why is there no in jail for the lies what got us into that quagmire? No one will own Libya for the same reasons no one was held accountable in Iraq.
See, its the system and the idiots we vote in. These foreign policy disasters go way back well before Iraq and Libya. Seriously, don't be so short sighted.
Really? You're kidding right?
Look, no one needs to go to jail for this or Iraq. That is not how things work nor is it how they should. Bush did not lie about Iraq and he was not largely opposed in starting that war. It might have been an incorrect decision but all the nutters (both right and left) demanding people be jailed or prosecuted for doing things that are not illegal is asinine. Bush WAS held accountable. The proof is in 2008.
That is how we hold politicians accountable for their piss poor decisions. We remove them from office and replace them with new politicians. No one seems to want to hold Obama accountable at all for anything. When bad legislation passes I hear 'he does not write legislation, it congresses fault' but then when a bill that is liked passes it 'look at what Obama has accomplished.' At the very least, I would expect that people take him to task when he screws up. The sad part is that no one seems interested in actually doing that anymore. Now it is all about protecting the guy who has the right letter next to their name rather than actually looking at what they accomplish or screw up.
