The tragic events in Aurora Colorado is being blamed on guns by the left
The deaths in Iraq were blamed on GWB by the left (even though Saddam killed close to 1 million prior to the coalition removing Saddam as well as defeating Al Qaeda in Iraq)
Murder by the fanatical as well those without the morality most of us live with daily have been spun by the liberals to support there agenda as well as most of the media doing the same
No Saddam
No Iraq
No 9-11
No wars
Evil people are the problem
simply put whether it is in the US
Afghanistan
Iraq
Al Qaeda
These issues are a creation of evil people who will use IEDs
WMDs
Or shotguns with 100 round clips
They do not care
6 million people were victims of violent crimes in the US last year

some how the events in Iraq where GWB fault
but the events in Aurora Co. were the fault of gun laws
whats the difference?
What lawmakers on the ‘left’ are calling for more gun restrictions?
Nothing is being ‘spun’ by the ‘left’ to justify anything.
The invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with ‘left’ or ‘right,’ it had only to do with the established fact that the invasion was illegal, and the subsequent deaths in Iraq were criminal accordingly.
Fact: there were no WMDs, as acknowledged by the Bush Administration.
Fact: there were no ties between Saddam and Al Qaeda.
Fact: Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
Fact: the ends never justify the means – there was never cause to invade Iraq, whatever the outcome is irrelevant.
Never said Saddam had anything to do with 9-11
Al Qaeda was in Iraq prior to the coalitions invasion
Even though Blair says it “later emerged” that Zarqawi had set up shop in Iraq in 2002, this connection was actually a formal part of the American case for war. Secretary of State Colin Powell included a section on Zarqawi’s network in Iraq in his February 5, 2003, presentation before the United Nations.
Former CIA director George Tenet reveals in his own autobiography, At the Center of the Storm, some of the intelligence that backed up PowellÂ’s presentation. More than one dozen other al Qaeda terrorists had joined Zarqawi in Baghdad. One of them was an Egyptian known as Abu Ayyub al Masri, who had served Osama bin LadenÂ’s deputy, Ayman al Zawahiri, since the 1980s. After Zarqawi was killed in 2006, al Masri took his place as the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Al Masri himself was killed earlier this year, and his widow confirmed that they had moved to central Baghdad in 2002.

What was illegal with Iraq?
congress gave the go ahead in October 2002
there were ties with Al Qaeda and Iraq if nothing more than wanting to kill coalition troops
Some Iraqi militants trained in Taliban-run Afghanistan helped Ansar al-Islam, an Islamist militia based in a lawless part of northeast Iraq. The camps of Ansar fighters, who clashed repeatedly with anti-Saddam Kurds, were bombed in the early days of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In February 2003, Secretary of State Colin Powell told the UN Security Council that Iraq was harboring a terrorist cell led by Abu Musab Zarqawi, a suspected al-Qaeda affiliate and chemical and biological weapons specialist. Powell said al-Zarqawi had both planned the October 2002 assassination of a U.S. diplomat in Jordan and set up a camp in Ansar al-IslamÂ’s territory to train terrorists in the use of chemical weapons. Powell added that senior Iraqi and al-Qaeda leaders had met at least eight times since the early 1990s.
Czech officials have also reported that Mohammed Atta, one of the September 11 ringleaders, met an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague months before the hijackings, but U.S. and Czech officials subsequently cast doubt on whether such a meeting ever happened. Al-Qaeda members fleeing Afghanistan have reportedly hid in northern Iraq, but in areas beyond SaddamÂ’s control.
Terrorism Havens: Iraq - Council on Foreign Relations
The WMDs were not part of the question, but sense you brought it up
I would now like to turn to the so-called “Air Force document” that I have discussed with the Council before. This document was originally found by an UNSCOM inspector in a safe in Iraqi Air Force Headquarters in 1998 and taken from her by Iraqi minders. It gives an account of the expenditure of bombs, including chemical bombs, by Iraq in the Iraq-Iran War. I am encouraged by the fact that Iraq has now provided this document to UNMOVIC.
The document indicates that 13,000 chemical bombs were dropped by the Iraqi Air Force between 1983 and 1988, while Iraq has declared that 19,500 bombs were consumed during this period. Thus, there is a discrepancy of 6,500 bombs. The amount of chemical agent in these bombs would be in the order of about 1,000 tonnes. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we must assume that these quantities are now unaccounted for.
The discovery of a number of 122 mm chemical rocket warheads in a bunker at a storage depot 170 km southwest of Baghdad was much publicized. This was a relatively new bunker and therefore the rockets must have been moved there in the past few years, at a time when Iraq should not have had such munitions.
