time to quit gloating over the mistake basically good people made while in a state of extreme stress and high anxiety. Bush/Cheney et al did an excellent job of exploiting the valid fears of the American People to their self aggrandizing advantage. it's wrong to continue to blame the American People for being so fearful since making and keeping them fearful was the campaign tactic. give the majority of Americans some credit for having finally shaken off the Rovian thrall and coming to their senses.
PS. reply to edit. i did say the MAJORITY of Americans as evidenced by the recent Dem wins. the neoCONNED will never admit they've been duped. honesty (even with themselves) is not a neoCONNED strong suit.
PPS. just so you know... i do understand your frustration and disappointment with that majority, how long it took for them to recognize the neoCON job.

Bush inherited a mess. The economy was in a downward spiral. Terrorists had attacked repeatedly with out receiving more than a slap on the wrist or a $1,000,000 missle up a camel's butt.
The invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with oil, only extreme lefties buy that. We have been at war at leasr sonce 1993 (1st WTC attack) & arguably since 1979 (Iran embassy takeover). It is only during the Bush admin that we are fighting back.

Allow me to educate you:
1) Gas prices do tend to go up during times of war, but to be honest, the United States has always benefitted in the past from some of the lowest gas prices in the world.
2) Invading for oil? Not hardly! But the argument could be made that we invaded not to gain the oil for ourselves but to keep terrorist dictators from using it as a source of revenue to support terrorism.
3) There are certainly downsides to the war in Iraq, but did you know that more hospitals and schools are operational then before the liberation? Did you know more children are attending schools? Did you know soldiers are using their downtime to construct soccer fields for children and supplying them with supplies? Are you aware that there are many good works going on the media is not reporting?

Yes, that's it. Millions of people who dared to disagree with your obviously brilliant logic are all stupid.
So the war was all about the oil - why DID prices soar? Don't over simplify things. It was really was all about the oil. Alaskans would be doing the happy dance because ANWR would be opened. It could also be very easily argued that one of the reasons prices have soared is due to the environmental movement blocking development.
As to us losing the war, don't believe everything you read. I have two cousins who served in Iraq, and a close friend in Baghdad right now. They all tell me that our media coverage is total BS and that we are not getting an accurate picture of what's going on. Are things bad? Certainly. War is ugly business, especially when you're fighting people who have absolutely no principles and will hide in mosques or behind women and children. If things are really going so poorly over there, why are re-enlistments UP? Or are you one of those self-righteous smarmy jerks who thinks the military is a bunch of stupid people?
Think Saddam did a great job? You're a total fool who is entirely too spoiled by his privileged Western upbringing. Are you seriously trying to defend the tyrant who used rape rooms and tortured people on a regular basis? And trust me - he did a hell of a lot worse than water boarding. You're an ignorant ***.

There have been many events during this presidents term as in many before him and will be after him - no president is perfect and no one president makes all the decisions - the politicians we vote in under him are the casting vote in many issues ..... just when the heat gets turned up - they seem less in front of the camera and leave for the top man to take the blows.
This is a blessed nation that has had no more to endure than any other...thus far. Continue to turn from God - time will tell.
Clinton did his fair share of foulups but for some reason all that seems to be overlooked too.
When make yourself look at nothing but the bad - that is all you will see!
God has been good to us in lots of ways too! One of which was with a president who could long term keep his mind on the real issues.

I would phrase your question differently.
Bush supporters would use the high price of gasoline as evidence that the war in Iraq was NOT about oil.

I agree with you that they should have never been voted in, and the really bad part is that people voted them in twice. that was stupid. Saddam had his ways of running his country, some good and some bad. same goes for bush so no one can say Saddam is worse than bush. yes he killed people but so did bush by going to war. bush killed the people that voted him in. he's responsible for their deaths and he doesn't seem to care cus we're still over there. maybe people will learn someday, but i highly doubt it. one of my favorite things about how stupid they are is the whole thing with gay marriage, oh lets ban it and be prejudice against more people when the vice presidents daughter is gay. Good job America on voting completely incompetent people into the white house. have you noticed that bush can't even finish a sentence without stumbling over words? makes you wonder if he's always drunk or something

If being a loser means knowing how to read and write, I guess you can call me a loser.
You must be privy to certain classified information to know, for a fact as you claim, that the war is for oil and that the US is losing the war.

You're a loser. The Truth, yeah right. You try being President. I busted my *** trying to deal with fatty Saddam and he was stubborn. So, I decided to invade him and drop a smart bomb on his two sons.
