"The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." -- President Bush, Jan.28, 2003, in the State of the Union address.
FACT: This whopper was based on a document that the White House already knew to be a forgery thanks to the CIA. It had been presented to certain members of congress as a fact.

No. I feel he is a politician of opportunity, that will do and say what he thinks the American people might accept. He should practice obtaining unequivocal proof to back up his actions and words before doing or saying anything that may adversely affect the American People or the United States as a whole, rather than passing the buck when events turn sour. As an elected official, that is only one of his responsibilities to the people, but obviously an extremely important one. Actions he takes as our president, are a direct reflection to other countries that are supposed to represent and reflect our beliefs, and our desires as a nation that professes to be the leader of Democracy

The Administration wanted to go to war in Iraq and it didn't matter what they had to say or do to get it done .
They conned Congress and the American people into believing that we would be attacked again if we didn't go there . Well even Bush admitted that they had no WMD 's . Some still believe it today .
There were no terrorist there so how could they attack us . But today they are there and are helping blow up and killing our soldiers
They brok it , they should fix it , not leave it to some one else , unless of course they don't know what their doing

Oh ye of little memory:
Clinton: Iraq must comply 'one way or the other'
February 4, 1998
Web posted at: 9:23 p.m. EST (0223 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bill Clinton said Wednesday that while the United States still prefers a diplomatic solution to the current standoff with Iraq, "one way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction."
"That is our bottom line," Clinton said, while attending a White House event on education.

If you are over the age of reasoning,you know all of them lie,the reason for it is they can't trust the American people with the truth,we can't handle it,oh but when they screw up and come crying for forgiveness,them we should turn our backs and tell we can't handle it.

Even George Washington lied. I am cynical towards all politicians, and I feel anyone who isn't wastes their ability to vote.

No, governments have agendas, and in order to accomplish these they present the "truth" in the most positive way to encourage their agenda.
That is true of ALL people in power.

No and I never did trust him. Me thinks he lies all the time and the sad thing is he believes himself and nobody else.

He is a puppet repeating what his henchmen want him to do and say. He is a moron and doesn't understand half of what he says.
