70% of the country thought invading Iraq was a good plan 4 years ago. (But they also believed the President when he said they were a danger to the USA).
Now 75% think it was wrong. Was Bush more wrong then or now or both?

Bush is as equally wrong now as he was then by selecting to occupy Iraq.
Bush knew the intelligence was fabricated. I don't blame congress at all because they were seeing that fabricated intelligence.
Quite a few are now on record stating they informed or overheard Bush being informed of the false intelligence.

I was saying 4 years ago, as now, that the USA does NOT have an elected president. After the 1-20-01 Tragedy NO good could POSSIBLY follow. Sadly I was right about the lies and crimes that have been and continue to be the daily occurrence at the White House. The Dumbya Big Lie Iraqi Crusade is a cover for the largest possible theft from the American and Iraqi people, which is why the NEW Dumbya policy is "Stay the course II PLUS with vitamins".

He was as wrong to invade Iraq as the Russians were to invade Chechnya, and even more wrong to "stay the course". He has gotten us into this quagmire without cause much as Russia did in their war.
The Soviet solution was to send more troops and more weapons. It only made the situation worse. Now that seems to be Bush's plan. This will only lead to greater disaster in a war which had no justification to begin with.

well first off, who's to say it was wrong..most people polled have less than 1% of the total information, therefore their judgement is invalidated. It is also believed that "W" did not in fact create this lie, but base his decisins on the available information that had existed since the early 90's , much of it confirmed with human intel..AFTER the fact. War is never a good thing, but sometimes it becomes the only necessary option to deter further attacks upon one's soil. Iraq itself isnt truly a separate war from afghanistan, but merely another front opened up..and has successfully drawn teh majority of all terrorist resources there. By forcing them to concentrate their efforts elsewhere it makes it harder to carry out tactical operations on American Soil.

Both. He lied to us to get us into this war.
Now Bush The Arrogant is snubbing his nose at everyone's advise to get out, and trying to send more troops to Iraq.

Bush lied! Most people take a president at their word, until the truth comes out. Now we find out he lies about everything. He wants to take their oil, it's as simple as that. Too bad they just didn't say ok.

He was wrong back then too. Remember, he has faulty intelligence and did not reflect reality when it came to weapons of mass destruction

Iraq war is an Israeli lobby war. Most Americans are not allowed to think so period.
