Answer 1

Stupid is forever. You can't fix stupid.

Answer 2

ME! I totally agree with you. The war in Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism, but now three years later it does because GW has created this insurgency all on his own for not monitoring the progress or lack thereof more closely. He also very rarely takes the advice of his advisors, and tries to stand on his own. He was advised that these things would happen and he didn't listen at the time. Now we are in this major mess with a major insurgency of what? Terrorists who want to see every american dead, and want the occupation of Iraq to end. That is what it is too an occupation. The longer we are in Iraq the longer and stronger the insurgency will get and with the police agencies being infiltrated, and the insurgents obtaining policeman uniforms, who can the honest people of Iraq trust? We are spending billions per day for a war that was unnecesary, and is now out of control. Our troops are suffering because of all these mistakes. It is unfortunate that GW still uses 9/11 as his excuse. Time to move on. I am also Dem and am hopeful that some drastic changes in foreign policy will be made very near in the future.

Answer 3

The problem is that now part of the war in Iraq does involve terrorists. Unfortunately, Bush and his Administration like to ignore the fact that the terrorists weren't in Iraq before he blew the country wide open and gave them safe passage into a confused and disassembled country. This war, in the beginning, was certainly not about terrorism. Now it's a Catch-22 that we are going to spend a lot of time, money, and lives to straighten out.

Bush 41 should have finished Hussein when he had the chance, and Bush 43 should have stayed in Afghanistan and finished dealing with those who attacked us on 9/11 before going in to finish what his father didn't in Iraq.

EDIT: I'll tell you what else I'm sick of, and you can find it right in one of the answers to your question. Why are Republicans now set on showing examples of how Hillary, or any Democrat, made statements about how Iraq had WMDs or nuclear capacity, or were harboring terrorists? What an ignorant route to take. Of course they made statements to that effect. They believed the intel and information GIVEN TO THEM BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. At the time, they had no way to know that Bush would stop at nothing to invade Iraq - even as far as keeping the story going for as long as he could that Iraq had all these things when he knew differently. They are idiots for trying to blame Democrats for believing their President wouldn't lie to them. At least now, most of us know better.

Answer 4

I, too, am tired of it. It was just Bush's justification no #2 (or was it no #3) for invading Iraq. Since that time, he's had a number of justifications for going into Iraq, and the number of Americans who buy his arguments is shrinking by the day.

It doesn't matter which Republican or which Democrat fell for his arguments then. Bush is the president and as such is obligated to have sound reasoning for sending U.S. troops into a bloody conflict. The fact that his arguments kept changing (and are still changing) means he didn't have solid justifications for starting an offensive war. Shame on Bush!

Answer 5

I'll make you more sick & more tired. The war in Iraq is against terrorism. Saddam provided training & financial support to terrorists.
I'm sick & tired of hearing that it isn't about terrorism.

Answer 6

I am so sick of Bush/Cheney and their war. Cheney said before the election no matter who won, the war is stay the course. Do they not know any other phrase? They bring up the point that, demo. voted to go to war to. What they neglect to say is that all the evidence cited was lies, based on lies, or cherry picked to make the case. How do you expect any one to make a reasonable decision when all is based on lies from people you are suppose to be able to trust( the President). Bush and his cronies don't even have the decency to be ashamed to what they have done to the country of Iraq and its people.

Answer 7

I'm not because most of the democrats in congress agreed!!!!!

"Every nation has to either be with us, or against us. Those who harbor terrorists, or who finance them, are going to pay a price."

Answer 8

Thank you, so much easier to just be obvious as Germany or USSR and take what you want. Don't play the sympathy game on the citizens.

Answer 9

The democrats will pull out the American troops and allow the terrorists or insurgents or anti democracy, Al queda , jihadist , talliban or whatever you want to call them...murder millions of pro west , pro -democracy citizins of Iraq and then the 'terrorist' will rule Iraq and be able to develop weapons to destroy all who oppose them. I am happy to see the Democrats in power so that they can be responsible for the end of democracy in the Middle East. Go democrats

Answer 10

There is a saying that lies told a thousand times becomes truth (at least to a number of population). That applies to all political party of all denomination. It is not the exclusive right of the current administration.

Answer 11

Agree
