What did Bush do?

Question

Can anyone throughly tell me what the president Bush did (in wrong way), to justify the support of the American people for invading Iraq?

I know he has lied, or exaggerated the existance of the WMD. He said "there are the WMDs in Iraq" without suggesting any kind of hard evidence.

Besides that, what "lies" or "tricks", or other things to lead the Americans to the war on Iraq?

I am working on an essay, so I need to know many things in detail.

Once again, my focus is "what did Bush do (in wrong way) to lead war on Iraq?

Answer 1

What hasn't Bush done should be the question. We could all be here for weeks with your question.

Answer 2

President Bush did nothing wrong. He has kept this country safe for 5 years. He is taking the fight to the terrorists instead of the terrorists fighting here. The reason he has our support is because he is doing the right thing. As you can see from your other answers all they can say is he lied. It is too bad that these folks can not remember that Clinton also said there were WMD. Most of the civilized world believed Saddam had WMD. If you cannot speak the truth then do not write your paper. If your instructor is saying it must be about what Bush did wrong than your instructor is trying to indoctrinate you into believing this. He or she is doing their best to convince you that their view point is the only correct view point. Why don't you think for yourself and write a paper expressing not only the truth but what you have been able to find out.

Answer 3

The biggest lie that I find offensive is the way he has mislead the American people into believing that invading Iraq had something to do with the attacks on 9/11. He invented the war on terror for the purpose of justifying invading Iraq.

Answer 4

If you think that this war is solely about WMD, you are grossly misinformed. He hasn't "lied" or "tricked" anybody. The invasion of Iraq was justified because the area is a hotbed of terrorist action against the US. If that area is not taken care of, you can bet that more attacks on a greater level will ensue. I wish you well on your essay. Just make sure any point you gather are sourced correctly and can be proven, otherwise you will look like an idiot.

Answer 5

He believed the reports left to him by Slick Willie Clinton, who let Osama bin Laden go despite numerous chances to take him out. The WMDs WERE there. Some were found in the form of ricin, a chemical agent used in the production of sarin gas. Mush of the other WMDS were sent to Syria and or Lebanon before the war. Sad dam was also guilty of war crimes including rape torture and mass killing of Kurds in the north of Iraq. He is now on trial in Baghdad for these and other crimes. Sad dam also supported the terrorists training camps and allowed them to thrive.

Answer 6

Lied about the WMDs, of course, and actively worked to confuse the American public about Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. He several times said that Iraq was directly involved in the 9/11/01 WTC and Pentagon attacks. He still claims that Iraq and Saddam Hussein were "sponsors of international terrorism" without much evidence to support this, and he made a huge deal out of the fact that Saddam was a crazy tyrant.
Well, that last bit was true, but it hardly makes the Saddamster unique on the planet, now, does it? I mean, there are crazy tyrants running 2/3rds of Africa, half of South America, 3/4s of the Middle East and most of Asia, not to mention the nutcases in control in Europe and the Mediterranean.
By Dubya's logic, we should be at war with the entire planet ... and given another Republican-controlled term or two, we will be.
Happy days, yes?
Have a lovely afternoon.

Answer 7

He simply exercised his obligations as the president of USA. We cannot judge him based on the events that occurred during his time of office. May be it is true that he may or may not have done something that lead to the invasion of Iraq and many other 'crimes' towards the people of the world, yet we cannot simply accuse him of doing something for his sole purpose.
I am not supporting him but there are too many people accusing somebody without and good reasons. All they know is that someone has done something bad to everyone.

Answer 8

He promoted the misconception that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. He refused to listen to advisors, generals, etc. (He has said that the only people he needs to agree with him are his wife and his dog. Akin to Hitler, who also said he didn't need the approval of his advisors and generals, just his wife.) His war in Iraq pulled attention away from Afghanistan, where terror cells were rampant. By weakening Iraq, it opens the door for other countries, like Iran and Pakistan. He declared the war over in 2003. He has promoted the conception of "Islamic fascists"--when there are many Islamic people who are not violent--dividing our country, weakening morale of Islamic Americans, and painting us as bigots to the world. He has imprisoned people without trials. He has promoted torture. (These actions affect how other countries perceive as, as well as hurting Americans' morale.)

Answer 9

Dude, i am still trying to figure that out, Congress gave him approval to enter into Iraq in October 11 of 2002, and he waited until March 19(i believe) of 2003. He did not exagerate the existence of WMD's, unless Clinton did in 98' also

I think you should look at that.

Answer 10

It was a huge propaganda campaign designed to make the world feel scared of Sadam and Iraq. The whole weapons thing was part of that, as was the insistence that Iraq was funding terrorism in the world and the heavy hints, but never actually saying it, that they were linked to 9/11.
