Two questions regarding Neocons.?

Question

1) Why do most of the Neocons make excuses when they know Bush lied?
The reason to go to war in Iraq was WMD, but neocons seem to move away from the subject of WMD, like they never said it. why?

2) Why do most of the neocons go into offence and dont admit they made a mistake in Iraq? The war was illegal and complete misrepresentation. Why cant they swallow that fact?

BRET,

you are full of ****, and i dont mean what you eat.

FACT NUMBER 1:

IRAQ WAR WAS ILLEGAL. WHY DONT YOU READ MORE BOOKS ON IRAQ.

FACT NUMBER 2:

BUSH SAID: SADDAM, POSSES WMD, NOT PREVENT. YOU ARE CHANGING THE MATERIAL.

PLEASE READ BOOK. YOU ARE SO ILL-INFORMED! UNBELIEVABLE!

Answer 1

First of all, I believe we went to Iraq to PREVENT Iraq from ever getting WMD's, in particular nuclear weapons. Certainly that goal has been achieved. All the non-existent chemical weapons were entirely secondary issues. And we didn't think he had nuclear weapons, YET. So of course there were none to be found.

Liberals are the only ones pretending THAT issue was about existing chemical weapons. It was about not yet existent nuclear weapons, which will now never exist. Success!

2) If the war in Iraq was illegal, as you say, why has no one pressed charges? U.N.?? Congress?? And who would congress press charges against, since they approved the war themselves?? The war was legal, friend. Even if they decide Bush lied, and that THAT was illegal, the war itself is legal, since they voted FOR it.

EDIT: Wow, an angry liberal on a tirade rant. What a shock.
Sorry to upset you so much. I hope you have a nice day, think happy thoughts, friend.

We will eventually attack Iran as well. And so we are clear: NOT because they HAVE WMD's, but to prevent their aquiring them. The same reason we went to Iraq. Nuclear proliferation.

Answer 2

1) George Bush did not lie! Joe Wilson lied though. The report he gave congress was the exact opposite what he said in his NT Times Op-ed piece.
There were many reasons given for going in to Iraq, WMDs was one of them. Iraq did have WMDs, they were used on Kurds and on Iran in the 8 year war. They have been found since we have been in Iraq. We have pictures of Russian trucks taking them by convoy to Syria and are probably right now in the Bacca Valley of Lebanon.

We have found terrorist training camps in Iraq, including one where they were using a 747 for training.

We did NOT make a mistake going into Iraq, we did the right thing.

1) closed rape rooms
2) closed torture chambers
3) stopped the mass killings therefore the mass graves.
4) We ended the chance of Saddam gassing more of his people.

The Kurds are elated we are there. The Iraqis outside the Sunni Triangle are elated we are there

Try opening your mind and swallowing that!

Answer 3

I'm thinking this is a counter-response to a narrow-minded "neo-con" question. In any case, please stop stereotyping.

1) Fine, I'm admitting it now. But it didn't seem so far-fetched to the Democrat party either. I never hear about people complaining that along with a mis-guided administration, both Republicans AND Democrats agreed to the theory. It's not like they purposely LIED. C'mon. WMD's+Saddam=logical.

2) For the latter part of this question, there is no such thing as an "Illegal" war. How on earth can something like war be 'legal'? I'm sure many Concentration Camp Officers thought WWII was "Illegal" too, then.

Tell me if I misinterpreted this question.

Answer 4

Well David,he didnt lie,(why do you think their conducting withchunts for any grounds for impeachment,that they cant find)The same info on Wmds was offered to the demoncrats and they voted it in also
..But you lefties always seem to forget that part.
Also Syria gave up a bunch of weapons and material after 9/11 and I dont believe Momar Quaddaffi was planning a war with the munitions he gave up to us...hmmm where did they come from?
And there was no mistake in Iraq,but then again I guess not enforcing the no fly zones and weapons inspections didnt mean a thing against the sanctions we placed On Iraq that were constantly being ignored by Hussein as he thumbed his nose at the UN(what a joke) and the US placed sanctions was nothing,or the numerous warnings by Bush to let us in..PEACEFULLY and were denied with malicious intent and threats of attack to us was nothing

Answer 5

I don't agree with your assessment of both of your questions. Regarding the first question of WMDs, the question is "where are they" rather than "did they exist?" We knew he had them, we sold them to Saddam, he used them on the Iranians and the Kurds, and he never gave anyone any evidence that he destroyed them. Maybe you forgot the year and a half run up to the war. Do you remember the weapons inspectors getting kicked out? Saddam had over a year and half to move them somewhere. They're probably in Syria, here's one article about this possibility:

There are many other articles and news stories on the possibility of Iraq's WMDs going to Syria. Just type in WMDs in Syria on a search engine. Also the democrats all had the same conclusion of this as well. Here is video showing you what all the dems were saying before the war:

The fact is that Iraq was not a mistake. It is vital to US interests to a have free democratic and friendly Iraq. You obviously are against the war and nothing i can say will change your mind, but if you do want to hear me out, please read and watch those two links i showed you.

Answer 6

You need to understand that people who have newconservative beliefs see everyone in the political sphere as either good or evil. If someone is evil they must be done away with before they cause trouble. They wanted Suddam out period and Bush has done that because Suddam was clearly evil.

PS. The war in Iraq was not illegal, there are no real laws in dictating if a war is legal or not. States tend to act as if they are in an archtit system.

Answer 7

1. You need to look up the definition of a lie.
2. The war is legal and was overwhelmingly approved by congress when they passed public law 107-243 in September 2002 giving Bush the authority to invade.

Look it up idiot!

Answer 8

the "stated" reason was wmds. The was never the reason that neocons had for going to war. they were going to repair the whole region by bringing democracy to Iraq and watch it spread throughout the middle east. Doesn't seem to be going so well, but neocons are idealogues and true believers. Many will admit errors in tactics but continue to believe in the underlying idea like some religious tenet. Great guys to have in charge.

Answer 9

I would say the answer resides in the personality traits of the influential neocons or any other group of very influential political advisors: they tend to be narcissistic, dogmatic, and have a well-honed conscious or unconscious attribute of denial. While most people--even CEO's--will admit to mistakes--by their job title, they are RESPONSIBLE for the economic health of their companies--political consultants, on the other hand,have nothing BUT their opinions to maintain their reputations, credibility, and job security. After all, they don't produce anything but opinion. However, you may find that years later perhaps 20 or more, those who lied by self-deception or to put forth a political agenda, regardless of the truth, will confess their sins, as Robert McNamara did thirty years after the Vietnam War--at which time he finally admitted Vietnam was one big mistake based on false premises and highly inaccurate intelligence (sound familiar)?

Answer 10

you must read al frankin and belive his word to be trus find more than one source before you tell people to read books and learn something your self like a war you claim to be illigal was voted on by congress and the senant you are a IDIOT
