What is wrong with Democrats today? Bush invades Iraq and catches all hell,?

Question

He doesn't invade North Korea and the same people who are bashing him for the war in Iraq are bashing him for not doing ENOUGH to North Korea!? Pick one or the other!

As an independent question, Are people really so blind as to not see the double standard that they are spewing?

I am truly bashing ANY politician that would say two completely opposite statements. It is insulting no matter what party they are.

Answer 1

yeah..

Answer 2

You really have no idea of what is going on, do you? Bush was so busy waging war in Iraq, and cheering Israel on, that he forgot about the rest of the world. Bush supporters try to give the impression that he only became President yesterday, and all the problems in the world today was inherited from Clinton and the Democrats. Bush has been President for SIX years, and he has solved NOTHING. In fact, he has made Americans despised throughout the world, and 'world peace' is a very distant goal.
Don't you dare tell us about 'double standards'!
Thanks, 'Honest George', for making the world a safer place!
Get ready for dramatic changes at the midterm November elections! And not a minute too soon.

Answer 3

It is the inconsistency of the invasion/non-invasion actions the administration has displayed. It was unclear whether Iraq had nuclear weapons, but we invaded anyway and took over the country. It is perfectly clear that N. Korea has nuclear weapons and we just sit here. This brings up the question again...did we really invade Iraq because of the nuclear threat? If so, why aren't we invading N. Korea as well? He also is not openly talking with Kim Jong Il to try and settle this peacefully. Clinton (as much as the right would hate to admit it) communicated with N. Korea and tried to help the country with it's energy problems. Why do you think we never had this problem with them when Clinton was in office? Communication is the key.

Answer 4

For one thing the guys on the plane that started this whole terrorist threat were Saudi Arabians...NOT IRAQI's. Bush invaded Iraq because he knew there were no nukes to worry about and it was about real estate and oil.

The U.S. knows to tread lightly with N. Korea since they do have Nuke capabilities and possibly backed by China. If Bush goes to war with N. Korea it will be a real fight and many more than 2,500 soldiers will die. Not only that the U.S. is losing confidence from it's allies so the U.S. would probably be alone in this conflict.

Answer 5

Bush invades Iraq and LIES about why he is sending thousands of people into that country to die... everyday!
There's no clear cut reason for anything that is being done... Can't get a straight answer as to what the actual objective is.. and how long they are going to be there... Alas, the anger..

North Korea.. They set off a nuc... There's no uncertainty about what they did.. there's no question about.. are their nuclear weapons in that country?.. are they a threat to security?...
Not much left to the imagination there..

Republicans are too busy staying in the closet and having relations with young boys to care about much else...

I don't believe it's a double standard..

Answer 6

We're bashing Bush, because he invaded a country that posed no threat to us instead of going after the main person who was responsible for attacking us. (In case you've forgotten, it was Osama bin Laden, not Saddam Hussein who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.) And since billions of our dollars and so many of our resources are now in Iraq, how are we supposed to fight a country like North Korea, who unlike Iraq, actually does pose a threat to us?

Answer 7

They will always be against anything Bush is for. A perfect example is support for Israel.

Since the inception of Israel the Democrats have voted time and again to support them, the republicans have always supported Israel, but most pro-Israel Jewish politicians are Democratic. This past summer when Israel went into Lebanon there was a two day pause, a showdown of sorts waiting for Bush to decide what he would say. The Dems began riding him to make a statement.

Two days after hostilities began Bush said he supported Israel because they were defending themselves against terrorists. Bush claimed support for Israel's actions was warranted as part of the Global War on Terror.

As I'm sure you remember the Democrats responded instantaneously condemning Israel. In effect tossing their long term allies under the bus for political purposes.

So the Dems have always picked sides contrary to the Republicans beliefs. Its just that now they want to make sure everyone sees how they have distanced themselves from the President. Which brings me to my favorite topic.

Why do the people we elect to represent us in Washington report to their party first and the electorate only when convenient, like just around election time? Our "representatives" are playing their game of power and politics instead of advocating what is best for their constituents.

Answer 8

It's not a double standard. Bush has been criticized all along for focusing to much on Iraq and not enough on North Korea. Now we see the result.

Answer 9

Are you saying Iraq is as dangerous as NK? Iraq has no wmds. NK just tested one. You tell me which one is worse. On the other hand, I don't think either county are an imminent threat, so I don't advocate attacking them, but tough sanctions should be in order.

Answer 10

Bush lied to Congress via witholding opposite evidence, and the standard public became as quickly as already whipped right into a frenzy. the folk on your checklist have been railroaded not the alternative direction around.

Answer 11

The democrats blame bush for anything, even if we were winning the war suddenly theyd find something else wrong, the fact that they voted for the war means nothing anymore....just like the sudden occerance now about foley, but that will blow up in there face because the investigation is going to scope the entire capital hill, so I am sure the democrats closets will open up too......a matter of time....democrats always do something to step on themselves, look at john kerry....but its not so bad if the do get majority in one of the halves of congress, balance needs two sides in order to work....
