He has changed the name?

Question

of his war three times since it has started, from WMD's, then to Iraqi freedom and then to the war on terror. All three of these represent flip flopping, and so if the mission was accomplished four years ago why are we still there re-naming it a different war every year since? With every failure comes a new name for the war, hoping that the American people will continue to buy into this non-sense....... 28% of you are still buying into this.

no I believe that the 1st reason was the "WMD's" that didn't pan out so we thought that we should free the Iraqi people from that dictator, but obviously you can't liberate a country at gun-point, so that didn't work, so now he wants to confuse everybody by telling them that the Iraq war is the war on terror, when clearly it's not.

lizardmama,
Enlighten me, how is the Iraq war, " the global war on terror". We did not enter this war with this mentality. It's was diverted into the war on terror when everything else failed.

and oh ya I do have a clue.....I would say that you are the one that is clueless

He has changed the reason for going to war, not the name.

Answer 1

Well, yes, he keeps changing the name. But it was always about oil and defense contracts. I'm happy that ONLY 28% are still fooled. Back a few years ago, the number was over 50%.

Answer 2

And they will keep buying into it too. I remember when we got attacked on 9/11. How many months did he threaten Iraq before he finally declared war? I remember too that he would say, on national television that he was going to get our people in, get em out as soon as they made Iraq free. Well, it's been over 4 years now. Hmmmmm, what happened with getting our people out? Guess that went down the drain. Talks big, that's about it. Sticks his nose in other countries affairs too. He had to go to his father for "advce" when the conflict first started. Wow, we got our selves a winner here. His popularity rate is lower than Nixon's was when he was involved in Water Gate. I was young when that happened, and ol Tricky Dick was not liked at all. But, his popularity rate at the time he stepped down from office was 30% Go figure. This conflict is nothing but a big waste of time, money, effort and lives.

Answer 3

no everyone has it wrong here, before he stormed the White House while we were suppose to be having a recount of votes? (Gore and Bush)???? Bush was on a talk show and expressed to the Host all of his vendettas, and here is how it went, "I am going after Saddam Hussein, and I am going to show him that no one threatens my Father." And " I am going to show China that we are a force to reckon with!" Dubya is really ignorant! No real warrior reveals his strategies! Especially on International Television! ha ha , But he also said he was going to give us a Televised War? I almost choked at that comment! What is that about? Televised War? A realistic viewing to show us what his failures!? So the first War was named a personal vendetta against Saddam, then it was a TV War. Then War on Terror, then the WMD. Now it is the War in Iraq, like it is something that isn't what he started? Duh? He created all of this as a smoke screen to get to our banks, and then break us for the over throw, and that is the truth! People do not change in midstream and unfortunately he is a very evil man in our White House, and that is the truth as well. We need not compare him, because he is not alone in that description but as he said to focus, well we should do that, focus on him and get him the hell out of there with his VP Cheney too, and the whole kit and kaboodle of them, so we can have a way to survive through this hell he created, there might be a chance for peace someday, but not as long as those power hungrey mongrals are in there. Since it is the most powerful of positions? How did we elect someone with a 2.35 grade average? Because of his Dad's power and that is all! And you best believe it was a conspiracy to get him elected, they pulled that crap with Clinton to discredit Gore, and then they stole votes and then they rigged the judges. And he will continue till he is stopped with an impeachment or he is made to stand down! He needs to disappear in the woodwork he has lost all respect for our government and our people are so ashamed of his ignorance and lies they are disgusted with him entirely. If I were him I would go to my ranch and pray it doesn't come back to haunt his whole family, because he has caused a lot of deaths!

Answer 4

Your president is training troops for a new government just as they did years ago, and look where that lead them... Back to stage 1.

It's such a funny thing... The same country, making the same mistake twice, in the same area of the world. But I'm sure it's not because of the abundance of oil this area may have. No, it must be a simpler reason. I wouldn't rule out ignorance.

Answer 5

This little piece of clumsy marketing died off quickly, but it gave away what many already suspected: the War on Terror will never end, nor is it meant to end. It is designed to be perpetual. As with the War on Drugs, it outlines a goal that can never be fully attained -- as long as there are pissed off people and explosives. The Long War will eternally justify what are ostensibly temporary measures: suspension of civil liberties, military expansion, domestic spying, massive deficit spending and the like. This short-lived moniker told us all, "get used to it. Things aren't going to change any time soon."

Answer 6

I have never bought into this ****, including the OKC bombings. I believe this whole thing was orchestrated to cover up insider trading, and now "false flagging" operations are being used to divert the crimes of these people.

Psychological warfare is the only way to get peoples attention away from the reality of gov't crimes and agendas.

Answer 7

You don't have a clue what you're talking about. WMD's was never the name of ANY mission! It was the original *reason* given to justify taking action in Iraq, after we had already been engaged in Afghanistan. Every military mission has a name. In Afghanistan, it was Operation Enduring Freedom. In Iraq, it's Operation Iraqi Freedom. In either case, these are each individual missions involved in the global war on terror.

The names of missions and acronyms such as WMD have nothing to do with your hopes of catching Bush in a flip-flop. You just have to know what they mean.

FOLLOWUP: Hey Sweetie, you think I'm clueless? At least I understand the basic difference between an outcome and an acronym. Look, I get your point of view about how WMD's aren't there in the amounts we were looking for, but there is a lot of the other side that you're not listening to. There is an alternate viewpoint and base of values for our presence in Iraq at this point. I don't know if you're unaware of that position or just don't want to consider it, but at the moment, we are in Iraq to quell a civil war and to provide security and training to a start-up government. But your initial question stated that you thought Bush had renamed WMD, the War on Terror, and Iraqi Freedom. One is a policy, one is a mission, and one is an object. The fact that 3 different things have 3 different names does not constitute a flip-flop. And I left you a follow-up in response to your nomination. (Thanks for your vote of confidence. Heh! heh!)

Answer 8

It is still all about The Big Lie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Lie
All these years later, while Osama and his "merry men" still roam the hills, Bush is still playing the tune of 9/11 and getting away with it. It is still about bad people attacking us, even though they did not attack us from Iraq. As the Germans pointed out about the lie that you should "follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous." - Joseph Goebbels, 12 January 1941, Die Zeit ohne Beispiel
They discovered that this is the trick, for as Hitler pointed out, if your lie is big enough, no one will believe it is a lie, as they cannot believe anyone would lie on that scale!
These men mean us harm, and they count on us believing their non sense for $12 billion every month out of the US Treasury, until it finally comes time for them to relinquish power. I hope we can at least count on that, but I would not bet on that at this point.

Answer 9

Youve got it backwards.
It was the war on terror first, then we went to iraq for WMD, then we decided to free the iraqis.

Its not really flip-flopping, because techincally, the war in iraq is still a war on terror. So he still has a reason for keeping us there.
