because he is the President - the Commander in Chief of our armed forces. The Congressional resolution merely authorized the use of force against Iraq if the President deemed it necessary. The final decision to attack Iraq was his.

It is the United States war whether people like it or not. We went into Iraq and removed their government, now it is our duty and obligation to get them standing on their own two feet again through support. Colin Powell said it best, "You broke it, you own it." How would the world view us if we just went in destroyed the place and left? Worse than they do now. So lets send in the troops to make training go faster, and get the hell out!

They were given the same "faulty" information as the rest of us. It is also interesting to note, that after 9/11, Dick Cheney created his own intelligence organization using a civilian office in the pentagon. This is the source of the "faulty" intelligence.
To those "thumbs down" guys, do a little research, Bill Oreilly can't think for you all the time

Why can't Bush do anything but fail repeatedly and blame others for his own shortcomings?
It was Bush who gave the order to attack Iraq, Bush who ignored the generals, Bush who pranced around like a sissy in his little fly boy costume, and Bush who continues to deny the reality of what is happening in Iraq.

There were many democrats that voted for the war. Congress holds the power and they overwhelmingly voted for the war, both democrats and republicans. The president does not have the sole power to do this, hence a congressional vote

And of course, we know that neither Hillary nor Kerry were in Washington before Bush was.
Blaming Bush is all the rage. Democrats were the cool kids in school.

Since Bush, the cohorts and the neocons manufactured falty intelligence documents to mislead the congress and the American people, everybody blames Bush.

They didn't vote for the War! The Republicans held them at gunpoint and made them vote for it!!!!!
You should watch CNN and get the truth!!!!!!!
We all know that CNN, Comedy Central, and Al Franken are the only true and honest news sources out there!!!!!!!!
Everything that happens is the President's fault...including the extinction of Dinosaurs! He prayed to "God" to go back in time and make them disappear!!!!!!!!!!
