Why did we go to war when we thought Iraq had nuclear weapons, yet we sit and watch N. Korea?

Question

do the same thing? Why don't those who voted for Bush see all the inconsistencies and lies?

Answer 1

We did not go to war with Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction. We went there for oil and oil only, but it's going to wind up like Vietnam and all we're going to do is loose a bunch of our soldiers for nothing. We are trading our soldiers lives so the oil buddies of this country can get richer. (Bush-Chaney and friends)

Answer 2

FIrst of all Bush wasn't the only world leader and spy agencies that thought Iraq still had (GAS) weapons of mass destruction which everyone knows they had since they used it to kill thousands of their own people, second, working nuclear weapons were not the target, the materials to make these weapons is what was thought to be in Iraq. But as a previous person just posted, this has all been proven years ago. Lets move on and win the war and get out as soon as possible. The past is always going to be past no matter how many times you talk about it.

Answer 3

China is the North's closest ally, then Russia. Both members of the UN permanent council. Any act of aggression in Asia could usher in the next World War.

On the flip side, Clinton traded food for weapon from the N. The GOP dismantled that program, went about their business because Bush had unfinished business with Hussein.

Here's a bit of irony - In the first Gulf War, then Secretary of State Dick Cheney said the US should not attack Baghdad quote "That would be a terrible idea!" Who knew he could change his mind so quickly.

Answer 4

It is easy to criticize a decision made 6 years ago that seemed like the right thing to do at the time (with congressional approval). It is not going real well right now so this makes Bush a liar??

So, what should Bush do now about North Korea? In six years will you again be critical if it doesn't work out well?

Life is filled with decisions--some work out, some don't. Works the same for our political leaders.

Answer 5

There's a term out. Punks. It's used on young people who dress a certain way and listen to certain music. A lot of them are likeable. I don't see the connection. The proper usage of ' punk ' in US slang is akin to a bully. A yellow dog in other words. Somebody who runs off at the mouth if he's backed up by his friends on people who've done nothing to them. Then, if met with any resistance of equal force, they run. Like the cowards they are. This is a punk. In answer to your question, it's a punk government. Proof? There's far more going on here, than there is over there. And nobody dares say anything. Punks.

Answer 6

because we are allready at war in iraq and we dont have enough troops to handle 2 wars and regulate a our border at the same time.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

The reall reason dates back to the karea war and nothing has been done since... also the usa sticks its nose were it dosent belong...its one thing to help the poor and another to try and take oil from the poor...

Answer 10

16 years of ignored resolutions and botched sanctions and refusing to let the inspectors go where they wanted to probably had something to do with it.We have not exhausted diplomatic channels with North Korea yet.
