Should George Bush be blamed for the war in iraq?

Question

If george is to be blamed for the war , why do you blame him. If you say he is not to be blamed, why not?

Answer 1

HMmmmmmmmmm............ Let me see. Did Arnold Schwarzenegger send our troops over there? No.. I don't THINK he did.

Did Al Sharpton send the troops to invade Iraq? No....... I don't think he did either.

Let's see..... Did Saddam say, "Hey U.S. I want to start a war over here in Iraq!" "Come over here and blow my country and people to hell!" I don't think he did that.

Did Georgie W Porgie say, "And he tried to kill my dad too". Yup........ He did. I guess he just has to take credit for so many American and British soldiers being killed, along with thousands of Iraqi women and children.

Who do YOU think should shoulder the blame? Santa Clause?

Answer 2

I also blame Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and the entire War cabinet leadership. I also blame faulty intelligence. Saddam was no immediate threat to the US, as we all now know. He also was a buffer between our interests in the region and Iran, because his government and Iran had an intense hatred for one another. Now in Iraq we really don't know who is going to be in charge of their leadership. It may take another facist fundamentalist dictator to get things back under control. Bush made the decisions to go to war since he's the Commander-in-Chief, he also rebuked the UN, and world opinion, even that from our long-time allies. Now the next president has a lot of mending to do from a diplomatic front. Bush and his administration deserves the blame at the expense of a possible regional war.

Answer 3

Umm...I appreciate your question. You see, we gotta go get those terrorists that did 9/11. If we don't they might tell someone the truth about what we did and then we would all look really stupid for believing the bulls**t story they gave us. So, No, George Bush is not to be blamed for 9/11, I mean, the war in Iraq. Blame God, for creating militant Islam.

Answer 4

Yes he is to blame....

The United Nations charter has a provision which was agreed to by the United States formulated by the United States in fact, after World War II. It says that from now on, no nation can use armed force without the permission of the U.N. Security Council. They can use force in connection with self-defense, but a country can't use force in anticipation of self-defense. Regarding Iraq, the last Security Council resolution essentially said, 'Look, send the weapons inspectors out to Iraq, have them come back and tell us what they've found -- then we'll figure out what we're going to do. The U.S. was impatient, and decided to invade Iraq -- which was all pre-arranged of course. So, the United States went to war, in violation of the charter.

Also Bush lied about Saddam's addiction to WMD.

Answer 5

bush is responsible for invading Iraq. who else is there? most of us knew that Saddam had no nuclear weapons. it was a ridiculous assertion from the start. any other weapons are irrelevant, since they can't hit us from the other side of the planet, and there was no reason to think that Saddam would even try. The Zionist/Christian neocons wanted permanent u.s. military bases in the region.period.unfortunately for us, the koran commands arabs to fight foriegn troops (crusaders) on arab soil and doesn't allow any exceptions to the rule. al qaida did nothing to our troops in iraq for the first year, but finally decided we weren't planning on leaving and they were correct. so the sectarian civil war is also the responsibilty of george bush since leaving by 2003 would have averted the civil war and migration of terrorists into iraq. but bush WANTED the terrorists to come to iraq so we could 'fight them there instead of here'. sheer nonsense. 9/11 was in retaliation for 8 u.s. military bases in saudi arabia from the first gulf war. we simply never closed the bases. now that those bases are closed, if we left the mideast, the terrorists would leave us alone. but how does that make money for haliburton and friends?

Answer 6

The war in IRAQ is a sham!

We were looking ofr Al Queda, and ended up in IRAQ, when all Intel -- all True Intel we find out now, showed that Al Queda and Iraq were not linked like Bush administration made it seem.

Thats what took us into IRAQ.

FIRST BIG PROBLEM!

BUSH refused to listen to his advisors when they recommended an after war plan. Hes long fired all them by now FYI.

Billions of dollars have gone to waste, given to civilian contractors that were supporters or friends of Bush administration, not to mention the 12 billion in cash that disappeared that was sent on a ship in 100 dollar bills.

25000 casualties for a war we should not have been led into.

Bush has consistenty said he will listen to the experts on the ground, yet has fired all his past generals, or they stepped down because they wouldnt agree to his policy.

Do you really need me to go on???

And for 6 years republicans have allowed bush to do whatever he wanted with no opposition because thy were in power, and didnt allow the real investigations to be pursued like they should have.

Now they are blocking any attempts to bring a justice to this false war, the republicans are blocking any of the democratic efforts.

Lets not forget the Libby scandal, that could link V.P. chenney to falsifying intel that led us into the war.

So you asked whos responsible?
The entire bush administration, and the republicans.

My only hope is that everyone will remember how the republicans are accoutnable for this war as much as bush is

Answer 7

Yes! He is to blame in large part because dissenting voices familiar with the data told administration officials that the intelligence did not reflect their conclusions, and they refused to listen, or deliberately ignored them. This conflict has been a huge waste of human life and financial resources. America will never forgive Bush and Company for perpetrating this fraud upon us and the world.

Answer 8

of course president dipsh!t is to blame. and any congressmen and women (including hillary obama and john edwards) i also blame the new world order (international bankers and world elite) whose objective is world domination. the middle east is the only thing standing in their way. and venezuela, n korea and iran. i agree w/ nonfat.

one republican who doidn't votge to go to war, didn't vote for the patriot act, has a good record of voting with the constitution is D, Ron Paul. You can bet that this 2008 Candidate is the answer to the problems that bush has caused.

Answer 9

I blame many people... congress, Bush, CIA... and on and on... but it really comes down to this...

Bush was basically like a used car salesman trying to sell a car (except he was trying to sell a war)... now, some people may call you a fool for believing what a used car salesman tells you about a car... and the fact is, you may be one if you believe him... but ultimately, he shouldn't have been lying in the first place...

so I blame congress for being so gullible, but the President for both lying and taking advantage of a gullible congress...

he went on talk shows, administration members went on every news show, in front of congress, in front of the UN... talking about how the war was needed... and lie after lie about how easy, cheap and necessary the war is...

and Republicans... Bush himself flat out said this wasn't about terror when we started this war? was he lying about that too?

Answer 10

Interesting question, and several interesting answers. People such as jazmine hate the United States, hate its sovreignity, and want to let others decide what happens with the US. The u.n. means nothing, and is nothing. The US is a sovreign nation, and only the US governs the US, period.

Roshni also obviously hates the United States. Geniuses like you will end up getting hundreds of thousands of REAL innocent people killed when the US gets nuked on US soil because those weapons "didnt exist".

Those that I mentioned are simply domestic terrorists. They are the enemy within.
