Why is everyone blaming Bush for the Iraq war ? I remember very clear that everyone wanted that war !?

Question

The media was beating the war drums and blaming Sadam of all evils and the US should invade. Almost every American was for it and excited to go and show the whole world what a cowboy nation we are and how we kick a$$e$. The Congress was for it too. Now EVERYONE playing "the not me game", when things are bad, but if the war have went well, EVERYONE would have been batting his or her shoulder saying ..bravo..i told u we kick a$$,..didn^t i ?

The whole world were against it so do not bullshit^^^ me, except the Americans. Even u started making fun of the French calling them cowards .

Answer 1

I have to agree with you. It seemed like everyone was for it and wanted to get ride of the weapons. Now even the people in congress who voted for the war act like they didnt vote for it. Its not all bushes fault and he should get the balme. Ill tell you who should get the blame, congress needs to take the blame becasue they voted to go to war. If they had voted no then we wouldnt be in the war. So people shouldnt balme bush they should blame all the congress people who voted yes.
I defeintly agree with you

Answer 2

It was bush who wanted to start this war. I was all about oil! Simple as that. It has even come out, that they knew that there was no weapons of Mass Destruction, but It was a great excuse to get his hands on oil. And why does everybody blame Saddam Hussein for 9/11 when he had nothing at all got to do with it? It has got to do with a bad business deal between Osama Bin Laden and the US Government. By the way, Nobody in the rest of the world agreed to this invasion. This was Propeganda by US Media which is fuelled by the US Government. And also, Freedom of Speach does not exist in the USA. Been there for myself to witness the hidden Communist agenda!

Answer 3

The bogus Intel that BUSH "The Decider" pawned off onto congress would not have ANYTHING to do with why they were wanting war now WOULD IT?

Who gave Saddam the Chemical bombs that Saddam used? Oh, that is right, Rummy and Bush Sr. during the 80s!

Everyone who was anyone who knew the history of Iraq and actually CARED was warning Bush Jr. not to do what he did. They KNEW that civil war would be the end result, and guess what? They were RIGHT! Why do you think that Bush Sr. stopped in 1991? The Iraq war is all Jr. doing. There were many people who WARNED Jr. before he went in what would happened.

Answer 4

Everyone wants to take credit when things work according to plan. Standing up in the face of adversity when things are not going well takes moral strength and conviction that politicians whose political aspirations come before their duty to their constituents cannot comprehend. In an effort to back-pedal, they will offer what they perceive to be valid and logical "excuses" for their thinking at that time, or blaming their decision on someone else. You can't just vote to give the President the ability to pursue war - listing the numerous reasons backing up that decision - and then go back on that decision and try to claim you were "mislead". How many people remember President Reagan duering the Cold War? He was not looked at very fondly while the problems were happening - he was viewed as inept and putting our country in a precarious position. Now, in the historical scope of his presidency - we view him as a leader whose ideas and refusal to bow at the altar of political pandering established him firmly in American history as one of our best leaders.
Hindsight is 20/20 for a reason - there is no crystal ball - so when the media wants to point the blame finger - it is easier to use the figurehead of our country as a scapegoat instead of standing tall. And the many uninformed people across the country find it easier to accept him as a scapegoat rather than taking the time to educate themselves on the issues surrounding the war.

United we stand - divided we fall. Think about it...

Answer 5

Listen, when the war started, and I mean the war in Afghanistan ok, America was behind Bush 110%. His approval rating skyrocketed. But what's happened since? Well, Bush had Osama trapped at Tora Bora, and let him go. Then instead of completely wiping out the Taliban, he decides to invade Iraq, and commit the single biggest blunder in American history. And its been all down hill since then. I'm sorry if you see it differently, but thats the truth.

Answer 6

Sweetie,

You've been mislead. United Nations considered the war to be illegal. It's an oil war and has nothing to do with 911. Perhaps you should stop watching American media and watch other international news, say the BBC for example. Then you'll see more than just one side of the story.

Now there's speculation to take on Iran. It's all for oil.

Answer 7

As yousal, you neocons conveniently leave out the crucial fact: everyone was for the Iraq war based on Bush's lie that Iraq had WMD. If Bush had told the truth, no one (except the right-wing kooks) would have supported the invasion of Iraq. Therefore, the war is Bush's fault--no one elses.

Answer 8

a truthful question and that i'll attempt to respond to it.i'm a sparkling Zealander residing in Australia and it must be pronounced that through fact of that the question isn't correct to me.despite the fact that it fairly is through fact our top minister has committed Australian troops to Iraq.Iraq replaced into invaded through fact of very suspect intelligence,there have been no weapons of mass destruction.Saddam replaced into no longer a danger to something of the international.He replaced right into a danger to three of his human beings yet that replaced into an inner count and replaced into incredibly no concern of the u . s . a ..the international isn't a safer place through invasion,this is regretably far much less secure.Australia isn't a safer place through fact of our involvement in Iraq,it has made us a objective for terrorism.thinking peoople might agree that Iraq replaced into no longer a haven for terrorists,so why take the conflict on terror there?there will be no winners in this one,anymore than in Vietnam.So in answer on your question,human beings blame him through fact he's in charge.Wars consistently make enormous quantities of funds for weapon manufacturers.i've got faith that the Bush relatives have considerable hobbies in hands companys.in line with hazard there's a link there.

Answer 9

I totally don't agree about what people are saying. We did want to go to war. We shouldn't be denying it and blaming it on Bush. You got to give him some slack cause right now Bush is in a lose lose situation. So stop blaming it on Bush. Shes right if it would have turned out good all of you would be saying that it was a good decision for us to go to war. So suck it up and stop blaming it on others.

Answer 10

I can't remember to many that didn't want to get the terrorest that blew up the Twin Towers but I don't remember to many that wanted to go to Iraq at the the time. We pretty much went there based on lies told to us by Bush so that he could make daddy proud of him. Not because the people thought we should be there. Where were you at that time??
