Must of been a helpless feeling to be abandoned by your own.

I think it's fair (and a good idea) to discuss the Iraq War, and debate whether or not it was a terrible idea. That's fair.

And the buck stops with the Presisent, at least it did until Obama was sworn in. So if you are going to criticize someone, it starts with Bush.

But many liberal Democratic senators voted for the war, and strongly supported the war, until public opinion turned against the war, then all of a sudden, these senators hated the war.

I respect anyone who disliked the war from the start. I despise the senators who were cheerleaders for the war when it was popular, and acted like they were always opposed to the war once it became unpopular. THAT'S a disgrace.

And anyone who says Bush/Cheney started the wear for money, or oil, or because Hussein tried to kill Bush 41, is blinded by ideology..

Bush deserves some criticism for Iraq, and he deserves criticism for Hurricane Katrina (though the Democrats in New Orleans re-elected mayor Ray Nagin, amazingly...). He also deserves a helluva lot of credit for what he did in Africa, but the liberals (who claim to be the ones who care about people like AIDS patients in Africa) rarely discuss it.

And it's very rare for a liberal to criticize the Democratis senators who openly supported the Iraq War. To them, Bush was the only one responsible for any of it. Bush is the most responsible, but he's not the only one responsible. The Senate, including many liberal Democrats, actively supported the war, based on the same intlligence Bush was looking at.
