Next time you talk about Iraq's WMD's and the war do remember Joe Biden

[bigrebnc1775]

Sleepy Joe Biden supported that war

Biden did vastly more than just vote for the war. Yet his role in bringing about that war remains mostly unknown or misunderstood by the public. When the war was debated and then authorized by the US Congress in 2002, Democrats controlled the Senate and Biden was chair of the Senate committee on foreign relations. Biden himself had enormous influence as chair and argued strongly in favor of the 2002 resolution granting President Bush the authority to invade Iraq.

“I do not believe this is a rush to war,” Biden said a few days before the vote. “I believe it is a march to peace and security. I believe that failure to overwhelmingly support this resolution is likely to enhance the prospects that war will occur …”

But he had a power much greater than his own words. He was able to choose all 18 witnesses in the main Senate hearings on Iraq. And he mainly chose people who supported a pro-war position. They argued in favor of “regime change as the stated US policy” and warned of “a nuclear-armed Saddam sometime in this decade”. That Iraqis would “welcome the United States as liberators” And that Iraq “permits known al-Qaida members to live and move freely about in Iraq” and that “they are being supported”.

Many of us that Biden needs are not going to vote for him over this. No more war presidents.

I was opposed to the Iraq war on day one, but I was told that I hated America, wanted the terrorists to win, didn’t support the troops, and, wanted to have to fight them here instead of over there.

Once again this will be an election of the lesser of two evils.

Two imperfect candidates with more than ample negative baggage.

Trump is clearly the greater evil; to vote against Trump – to vote to remove a failed, incompetent, racist president from office – is not to vote ‘for’ Biden, not to ‘approve’ of Biden, and not to ‘support’ Biden.

No, I don’t. Not being a sycophant of President Trump doesn’t mean I support Joe Biden as they are both major retards. It’s funny watching the duopolist drones circle the wagons for their shitty candidates.

Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you have to see this. Just takes the air right out of your soggy, limp balloon.

In 2002, Donald Trump Said He Supported Invading Iraq

"Are you for invading Iraq?" Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, "Yeah, I guess so."

In 2002, Donald Trump Said He Supported Invading Iraq

"Are you for invading Iraq?" Howard Stern asked him, and Trump answered, "Yeah, I guess so."

www.buzzfeednews.com

"
Trump's comments on Stern are more in line with what he wrote in his 2000 book, The America We Deserve, where he advocated for a "principled and tough" policy toward "outlaw" states like Iraq.

"We still don't know what Iraq is up to or whether it has the material to build nuclear weapons. I'm no warmonger," Trump wrote. "But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don't, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.""""

No shit.

I was opposed to invading Iraq, too. The initial attack in Afghanistan to try to flush out OBL was probably a good move but then it had to turn into a war that has still not ended.
Fucking Dubya was a disaster but he's not nearly the disaster that Trump is.
