Yeah, we wouldn't want to offend Saddam, Kim Jong-il, or the oppressive assholes ruling Iran.But there is such a thing as using diplomacy and tact, especially, when dealing with foreign leaders and international affairs.
I don't know how old you are, but, if you were old enough, you probably also said the same thing about Reagan's "evil empire" comments about the USSR.
If it was so obvious that he was misleading them about the "non-existant" WMD (in quotes because they were there at one time), then why did the Democrats vote for war? Also, what do you have to say about the fact that many Democrats had been saying that Iraq had them since 1998? Were they lying too? I doubt you'll say yes because, in the liberals' world, Republicans can be liars and the Democrats can't even when they say the same thing.The president misled the people when he made his case for going to war with Iraq. There were no weapons WMDs.
Bush never said Iraq was.Iraq was not an imminent threat.
Multiple reasons for war were always given.When WMDs were not found, we were told that the war was to liberate the Iraqi people from a horrible dictator. "Operation Iraqi Freedon". The war was not about WMDs or liberating the Iraqi people.
If that was the case, then why didn't we just invade Venezuela, Kuwait, etc?We all know what it was about. It was about the OIL.
So, in other words, if the US gets involved in a situation in one country, they must also get involved in situations in every country? What a crock of shit.Liberating people - what a joke! What about Sudan? What are we doing for those people? Tens of thousands of people in Sudan are being killed, tortured, and raped. Compassionate conservative, right!
First of all, not even the US has the resources to do that. Second, why does it always have to be the US? Why don't other countries or the UN (the favorite organization for liberals) do something. Third, were you saying this when Clinton intervened in Kosovo because of ethnic cleansing but did nothing in Rwanda when that was many times worse? If so, then at least you are consistent even if I still disagree with you and if not, then we see that's just a partisan thing.
