Answer 1

Democratic support of the war was based on false intelligence knowingly given by the president and vice president before congress that Iraq was producing wmd's, knowing now that those claims were false the Democrats no longer support the presidents criminal actions in Iraq

Answer 2

They are desperate for a Fall guy.They need someone else to take the blame for their grievous errors. I am sure many Republicans wish they could undo the past four years in Iraq. I support their wishes, but that doesn't make them so. They must be willing to concede that during their "watch" America was severely undermined by their decisions.

Answer 3

Whatever...

Answer 4

The same neocon ideologues behind the Iraq war have been using the same tactics—alliances with shady exiles, dubious intelligence on W.M.D.—to push for the bombing of Iran. As President Bush ups the pressure on Tehran, is he planning to double his Middle East bet?

In the weeks leading up to George W. Bush's January 10 speech on the war in Iraq, there was a brief but heady moment when it seemed that the president might finally accept the failure of his Middle East policy and try something new. Rising anti-war sentiment had swept congressional Republicans out of power. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had been tossed overboard. And the Iraq Study Group (I.S.G.), chaired by former secretary of state James Baker and former congressman Lee Hamilton, had put together a bipartisan report that offered a face-saving strategy to exit Iraq. Who better than Baker, the Bush family's longtime friend and consigliere, to talk some sense into the president?

By the time the president finished his speech from the White House library, however, all those hopes had vanished. It wasn't just that Bush was doubling down on an extravagantly costly bet by sending 21,500 more American troops to Iraq; there were also indications that he was upping the ante by an order of magnitude. The most conspicuous clue was a four-letter word that Bush uttered six times in the course of his speech: Iran.

In a clear reference to the Islamic Republic and its sometime ally Syria, Bush vowed to "seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies." At about the same time his speech was taking place, U.S. troops stormed an Iranian liaison office in Erbil, a Kurdish-controlled city in northern Iraq, and arrested and detained five Iranians working there.

the story of how neoconservatives hijacked American foreign policy is a familiar one. With Vice President Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld leading the way, neocons working out of the office of the vice president and the Department of Defense orchestrated a spectacular disinformation operation, asserting that Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction posed a grave and immediate threat to the U.S. Veteran analysts who disagreed were circumvented. Dubious information from known fabricators was hyped. Forged documents showing phony yellowcake-uranium sales to Iraq were promoted.

What's less understood is that the same tactics have been in play with Iran. Once again, neocon ideologues have been flogging questionable intelligence about W.M.D. Once again, dubious Middle East exile groups are making the rounds in Washington—this time urging regime change in Syria and Iran. Once again, heroic new exile leaders are promising freedom.

Meanwhile, a series of recent moves by the military have lent credence to widespread reports that the U.S. is secretly preparing for a massive air attack against Iran. (No one is suggesting a ground invasion.) First came the deployment order of U.S. Navy ships to the Persian Gulf. Then came high-level personnel shifts signaling a new focus on naval and air operations rather than the ground combat that predominates in Iraq. In his January 10 speech, Bush announced that he was sending Patriot missiles to the Middle East to defend U.S. allies—presumably from Iran. And he pointedly asserted that Iran was "providing material support for attacks on American troops," a charge that could easily evolve into a casus belli.

"It is absolutely parallel," says Philip Giraldi, a former C.I.A. counterterrorism specialist. "They're using the same dance steps—demonize the bad guys, the pretext of diplomacy, keep out of negotiations, use proxies. It is Iraq redux."

Answer 5

Nobody is trying to pass blame! Democrats voted for this war as well as Republicans. The difference is that Republicans stand by the decision & the Democrats are now pulling out because it's not the popular vote any longer!

Answer 6

Because they are citizens of America too. We cant just go to Norway and blame them right? They aren't a part of America. The DEMS are.

Answer 7

Two reasons

1. We deserve some for voting with the president.

2. The party of personal responsibility cannot accept any.

Answer 8

the REAL dems never once voted for the president due to the fact that we knew he wouldn't succeed from the get go.

Answer 9

I don't really know, but repuglicans that is what they do, they are still blaming Bill Clinton for 9/11 and the minority Dem's in Congress for voting for the war. It is in their make up, like character assassinations done dirt cheap.

Answer 10

The Democrats were all okay with invading Iraq too you know, with very few exceptions. Changing their tune is something the Democrats do very well and often.

The Democrats changed their tune only to get elected to gain majority control of the house and senate. We'll see what wonderful things are in store for all of us now that their ploy worked. The truth will out.
