Would ANY Bush Basher care to refute these statements???

[kaz]

They invaded because Bush was looking for any excuse to invade

And they did that arm in arm with the party you Monica.

Saying it more times does not make it true

More Democrats opposed an invasion than supported it
Republicans nearly unanimously supported it

The final decision to invade was Bushs alone

Denying more times does not make it false. Democrats pumped the war justification side by side with Republicans.

Come to the light. What we need is a better policy. Democrats are just in it for the blame game. If Democrats were in it for truth, you would admit you were wrong and advocate we find a better way, but you just point fingers with all the shallowness of a kid with cookie crumbs all over your face and a half eaten cookie in your hand when your mother catches you, and you point a finger at your brother and say it wasn't you, it was him...

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002

The resolution "supported" and "encouraged" diplomatic efforts by President George W. Bush to "strictly enforce through the U.N. Security Council all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq" and "obtain prompt and decisive action by the Security Council to ensure that Iraq abandons its strategy of delay, evasion, and noncompliance and promptly and strictly complies with all relevant Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq."

The resolution authorized President Bush to use the Armed Forces of the United States "as he determines to be necessary and appropriate" in order to "defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq."

You don't realize you didn't contradict anything I said, do you?

What about this statement?

But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors, that the Iraqi economy is in shambles, that the Iraqi military a fraction of its former strength, and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.

Barack Obama October 2 2002

Notice how he said, ".....Saddam possesses no immenent and direct threat to the US. I disagree with that assessment then as I do now. Just pointing out that the former Senator left open the door that Saddam was a threat. Always easy to point out the double talk.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Have to remember for these far left drones the history of Iraq began in 2003 that led to 9/11..

Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11, but the recovering alcoholic used the fear from 9/11 to induce votes for the war. The fear he was able to establish along with the multiple fabrications led to the greatest blunder in American history.

Iraq was a threat just as Al Qaeda was a threat. When 9-11 happened, within hours, the first thing that popped in my head was that saber rattling Saddam could see that a bunch of primitive pig fucker terrorists just easily hit US in the Achillies and that Saddam was capable of doing much more on his own.

We do know Bush lied to the American people before he became president. He was highly critical of Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist:

Candidate George W. Bush: "I don’t think our troops ought to be used for what’s called nation-building. …If we don’t stop extending our troops all around the world and [conducting] nation-building missions, then we are going to have a serious problem coming down the road and I’m going to prevent that.”"

Now we find out the plans to invade Iraq were already being discussed 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.

Are you paying attention??? The plans to invade Iraq were already being discussed 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.

What we NOW know from G.W. Bush's first Treasury Secretary, the invasion of Iraq was discussed 10 days into the administration.

Bush Sought 'Way' To Invade Iraq

Going after Saddam was topic "A" 10 days after the inauguration - eight months before Sept. 11.

"From the very first instance, it was about Iraq. It was about what we can do to change this regime," says Suskind. "Day one, these things were laid and sealed."

As treasury secretary, O'Neill was a permanent member of the National Security Council. He says in the book he was surprised at the meeting that questions such as "Why Saddam?" and "Why now?" were never asked.

"It was all about finding a way to do it. That was the tone of it. The president saying 'Go find me a way to do this,'" says O'Neill. "For me, the notion of pre-emption, that the U.S. has the unilateral right to do whatever we decide to do, is a really huge leap."

And that came up at this first meeting, says O'Neill, who adds that the discussion of Iraq continued at the next National Security Council meeting two days later.

He got briefing materials under this cover sheet. "There are memos. One of them marked, secret, says, 'Plan for post-Saddam Iraq,'" adds Suskind, who says that they discussed an occupation of Iraq in January and February of 2001. Based on his interviews with O'Neill and several other officials at the meetings, Suskind writes that the planning envisioned peacekeeping troops, war crimes tribunals, and even divvying up Iraq's oil wealth.

He obtained one Pentagon document, dated March 5, 2001, and entitled "Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield contracts," which includes a map of potential areas for exploration.

"It talks about contractors around the world from, you know, 30-40 countries. And which ones have what intentions," says Suskind. "On oil in Iraq."

During the campaign, candidate Bush had criticized the Clinton-Gore Administration for being too interventionist: "If we don't stop extending our troops all around the world in nation-building missions, then we're going to have a serious problem coming down the road. And I'm going to prevent that."

"The thing that's most surprising, I think, is how emphatically, from the very first, the administration had said 'X' during the campaign, but from the first day was often doing 'Y,'" says Suskind. "Not just saying 'Y,' but actively moving toward the opposite of what they had said during the election."

CBS NEWS? You've got to be kidding. The Dan Rather network of butchering President Bush?

ONCE AGAIN...Bush didn't have to seek very HARD. The dimocrat liars were lined up encouraging war against IRAQ...THAT WOULD INCLUDE INVASION BACK IN 1998 BUT CLINTON WAS TOO CHICKENSHIT TO DO IT, ONLY TO BRAG ABOUT HOW HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN HUSSEIN YEARS LATER. Nothing lies like an effing democrat...both the PRESIDENT OF U.S. and THEIR DAMNED LYING MEDIA.

Hey pea brain, it has NOTHING to do with Dan Rather. 60 Minutes (CBS) interviewed Paul O'Neill, Bush's first Treasury Secretary.

If only the Democrats votes were counted, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 would have never made it out of the House of Representatives.

But, but I thought liberals said over 40 million were without health insurance. Only 10 million got insurance? Sounds like a failure to me.

These things take time
25% in the first year is not bad

Now, if only Red States would work to get their people insured

Lol, we were told obamacare would end all of our troubles. 25%? How many of that 10 million already had insurance. You admitted you did.

10 million additional Americans now have health insurance

You know, the same ones Republicans said....let em die

Why do you repeatedly lie? Republicans never said "let em die" you lie, again. I guess you are basically just a lying troll and we should pretty much ignore anything you say?

Yes they did

What Ron Paul said after the crowd called to let em die was that if you made a choice not to have health insurance, you deserved what you got

No Republican seemed to raise a different opinion

They DID let 'em die...

Ron Paul’s Campaign Manager Died Sick and Uninsured, the Way ‘Freedom’ Allows

At the fifth GOP debate this week, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked Ron Paul, a doctor, whether someone who opts to not buy health insurance and then gets sick should be allowed to die. The crowd responded with startling shouts of "Yeah!" followed by applause, leaving even Rick Perry "taken aback." Paul's answer, while more gentle, was more or less the same. "That's what freedom is all about: taking your own risks. This whole idea that you have to take care of everybody ... " said Paul, who was cut off by clapping from the audience. While you wouldn't know it from his answer, Blizter's hypothetical probably hit close to home for Paul, whose campaign manager Kent Snyder died young of pneumonia — without insurance — in 2008.

Maybe we should investigate how many has died under obamacare because they couldn't afford the deductible. I'm sure it would be more than one. Thanks for playing.

We could even say they paid for their obamacare and still died. Thanks Obama! See how that works dipshit?

I don't deny it rightwinger, Obama is the biggest coward to occupy the office. He is a laughing stock.

He got him though. Bush spent seven years and let him get away

That Bush chose to pick a fight cost 6000 Americans and 100,000 Iraqis their lives

Oh, so paul says it's all about freedom, taking your own risks. Then a staffer dies without insurance. It's Paul's fault?

On the other side, Obama forces someone to pay for insurance. Even though they can't afford the deductible they have to pay for it. Or get taxed at the end of the year. If they get sick, and cannot afford the deductible. Then dies? Nothing to see here, right? Hypocrite.

First of all, as a liberal I would have much preferred 'single payer' like most civilized industrial nations have for their citizens. My second choice would be a 'public option', where I could BUY into Medicare before the age of 65. Instead, we got the 1993-94 Republican healthcare plan, right down to the 'individual mandate'

Bush and Bush alone ordered the invasion. At the time, the UN was asking for more time to prove there were no WMDs
Bush attacked before his phony WMDS story could fall apart

The UN had a conflict of interest to make that call. SEE OIL FOR FOOD. The UN and several stand alone members had incentive to keep him in power. Before Bush came into office, Democrats from 1993-2000 were crying for his removal and many Americans supported that. Bush did not go in on impulse to Iraq. Within weeks, we hit targets in Afghanastan. Bush built the case, garnered support among everyone, including Democrats who had been building the case before him. He even gave Saddam options to step down and go quietly. 9-11 was in September 2001. We hit Iraq in March 2003 with unanimous support among Democrats and Republicans alike. It was only after the invasion that majority of Democrats changed their tune and pretended like they wanted no part of it all along.

You are full of shit. I was among many liberals who supported Bush going after bin Laden in Afghanistan and vehemently opposed Bush's Hirohito invasion of Iraq, who had NOTHING to do with the attacks on 9/11.

If Bush had to depend on Democrats for his immoral invasion, authorization would have never made it out of the House of Representatives.

If only the Democrats votes were counted, the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002 would have never made it out of the House of Representatives.
