However, the supposed "stockpiles of WMDs" that were the premise for the invasion have never been verified, and actually found to be inaccurate by multiple different sources.

With abysmal approval ratings (mostly due to his invasion of Iraq), Bush would never have allowed "the media to pass over the weapons that were found", as you put it. There would have been widely publicized speeches - maybe even with him flying in via fighter jet onto an Aircraft Carrier with a "See, We Told You" sign behind him.

While you're away, maybe try to find some actual sources of information and then perhaps there will be some justification to your condescending tone. Nice try though.



P.S.I still really like that lure you made though.
Bush wasn't as adept as self credit as Obama is. You never heard Bush say "Clinton left me a mess" in every speech. It's called class, Obama has none. The Dems have less.
You can say what you want JD, but Bush had humility.Maybe he had good parents.

WMD became a nuclear weapon to those who blame Cheney, Halliburton or Rumsfeld. Don't you remember the fear from the left that our troops were walking into a biological slaughter.
You need to come up with a new ending too. "Nice try though"

:
he's got a point there. could also blame Clinton for the internet bubble and lack of controls in financial services. Funny, I had a few super lib teachers at my house for Thanksgiving and they were goign off on how Bush stopped all this regulation in financial services which caused the recession. I dindt want to get into an argument, but asked, can you name one regulation he stopped.......silence. How come the libs, who claim to be so educated, have very little facts to base their opinions on?

I think Im going to print up ENDless/this War bumper stickers, I bet no Dems will buy 'em.

(This could go into the Speech thread or here)

It's funny.. I was listening to D & C on EEI this AM, and they were on a rant that Obama "Lied" to get the anti-war voters.

He had very clearly said he wanted to more aggressively pursue al Queda in AFG while drawing down in Iraq. Both with a proposed time-line. Now if they stick to these time-lines remains to be seen if they can or will do this.

This seems to be the direction headed. If anti-war people voted for him w/o listening to this, then Tough Sh-t.

Yeah I do. However, it was due to the fear-mongering of warehouses packed with chemical weapons and the multiple supposed locations where Saddam was actively manufacturing chemical weapons.
