It's about time it was said

[Trajan]

The war with Iraq was a HUGE mistake.

Eat it wingnuts.

frankly, that could be true, not that you have any idea why or can articulate a reasonable scenario as to why it may have been a mistake in the grand strategic sense......thats what makes the lefts idiocy so tragic in and of itself.

good luck with that btw.

That is a UN number, fool.

Unicef: 500,000 children (including sanctions, collateral effects of war). "[As of 1999] [c]hildren under 5 years of age are dying at more than twice the rate they were ten years ago."

I'm astonished you would bother showing the forest to those who cannot identify a tree.

Those that want to conveniently ignore historical context, and precedent, and imagine they could predict the future in 2003, would be crapping their pants right now if a Saddam Financed Terrorist Cell released nerve gas in Times Square on New Year's Eve, 2009.

Bush very effectively has prevented this.

Of course, then all the wild-eyed-frothing-at-their-mouths Neville Chamberlain Fan Club will claim that we should wait until a catastrophe happens to react.

No doubt, with Obama in office, they'll get their wish.

IF...give us a break you pee-panted fool. If Bush prevented you from bombing the UN, oh how wonderful life would be.

 

[asterism]

Because they're liberals

POINT out my lie, PLEASE...

i'll be waiting....

care

how about the fact you want to blame only Bush for the 2009 budget when it was approved by CONGRESS and that Obama was a MEMBER of congress at the time
and that congress had been in the hands of democrats for nearly 2 years

Wasn't the 2009 budget only passed for the first few months so the new administration could start fresh on inauguration day? I seem to remember reading that.

So? Look at dud, believing the UN and blaming Saddam's idiocy on someone else.

Wow...Just wow.

Yep, you should be embarrassed. But luckily for you, dcon is right there mopping up you tears.

I understand your mentally challenged and all and I really hate to take advantage of that fact. But huh... there were WMDS found in Iraq back in '03 and '04. I posted the links once already. Here's a website I believe you idiots use, so I'll use it.

Saddam's WMD have been found. New evidence unveils chemical, biological, nuclear and ballistic arms.

WorldNet Daily? Please. That is a known right-wing propaganda rag.

Here is the truth, right from the horse's mouth, i.e., Hans Blix, citizen of neutral Sweden, responsible, honorable and respected Chief U.N. Weapons Inspector assigned to Iraq. Read what he had to say about it. Former UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix: Iraq War Was Illegal

You really should stop wiggling on the hook. It is a well-established fact that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. And if you just can't stand finding out that you've been duped and insist on holding fast in this faded deception, ask yourself this question:

If Saddam Hussein had these monstrous weapons why didn't he use them on the forces who attacked him? After all, what are weapons for?

Do you suppose he chose not to use them because he didn't want to make us angry?

yup,good memory, in 2008 ( when they craft the budget for the following year- 2009)the congress only passed a supplementary budget bill, the omni bus budget bill for the remainder of 2009 was passed shortly after the porkulus IN 09, ...they waited because they banked on Obama getting elected, and they blew it up to over 400 bill more because they knew he'd sign anything that spent money ( and just as bush had done pre- jan 07, when congress changed hands).

Edit- Oh and they have not passed a budget for next year either, they punted on it 2 months ago.....we all know why, because the red ink to sppt. the expanded entitlements etc. they planted in last years budget, would have even more folks even more up in arms....

Its always easy to borrow $1 Trillion for a trumped up war that killed 4400 soldiers and injured tens of thousands.

Ask for money to provide healthcare for American Citizens and the rightwing screams poverty

The Democrat party could have voted no to any part of the war.....no to use of force...no to funding it....
Yeh it is about time it was said.....

Yellowcake Uranium Found In Iraq, Bush Was Right! Well, Not So Much | Crooks and Liars

Yellowcake Uranium Found In Iraq, Bush Was Right! Well, Not So Much
By Logan Murphy


This article from the AP was posted yesterday, reporting the sale and transport of 550 metric tons of yellowcake uranium from Iraq to Canada. Some of the leading right wing blogs were quick to hail the find as a significant victory for the Bush administration and proof of Saddam's WMD program, but as Daniel De Groot at Open Left Points out, their celebrations may be a bit premature, if not dishonest:

I noted last night that a supply of uranium from Iraq had been successfully moved to Montreal in secrecy.

If you check into this, you'll quickly find that the uranium a) was not weapons grade and b) was well known to the UN and IAEA and was being stored legally by Saddam's government. It was legally in Iraq according to international law.

I wondered if the right wing echo chamber would use this as "proof" that the WMD claims were true after all. I got even better than I hoped, as not only do they use it that way, but they reveal how dishonest they are by the way they have done this.

I understand your mentally challenged and all and I really hate to take advantage of that fact. But huh... there were WMDS found in Iraq back in '03 and '04. I posted the links once already. Here's a website I believe you idiots use, so I'll use it.

The idiots that use it are conservatives!!! You big dope. In fact they are the people that claimed President Obama's birth certificate was a forgery!!! Are you nuts???? No self respecting liberal would frequent that rag.

 

[jillian]

world net daily? lol.. really?

i have news for you... no self-respecting conservative would rely on WND. lol..

 

[Trajan]

so, you wanna get back to the topic and answer posts or just obfuscate some more?

I do know some very self respecting conservatives. And you're right, Jill!!! They wouldn't read it either!!! Good point.

I, for one, have vowed to never vote for a democrat who voted for the war in Iraq unless he or she has publicly apologized for that vote.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

After that classless speech by Obama, he makes Bush look good. I didn't think that was humanly possible. See something new every day.

Wow, are Democrats screwed in November.

 

[Titanic Sailor]

It's funny, the left have about as much of a voice in this government as McCain voters.............

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I, for one, have vowed to never vote for a democrat who voted for the war in Iraq unless he or she has publicly apologized for that vote.

An apology won't bring 4,000 dead American soldiers back to life.

 

[manu1959]

1 trillion over 8 years ...3 trillion in two years.....i recall presidential candidte kerry calling for the invasion.....dem congress could have stopped the war any time over the past four years....they did nothing....
