How did America allow Bush and "pals" to lead us into a unjust and senseless war?

Question

The real culprits were not in Iraq. Now thanks to Bush they flood Iraq. Even the Pope says nothing good comes out of Iraq.

Answer 1

You will have to understand that some 27% of the Nation are sheep and incapable of independent thought and can be led anywhere by anyone.

A sizable number however, rightly some might say, placed enough faith in the leader of our country to do the right thing and not lie and dissemble to fool us.

In the event, too many were unquestioning and didn't join the dots in the picture. Hence the disjointed view of Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.

You have to remember many Americans have not even left their States. They are easily fooled by all the jingoistic talk about flags and loving the country.. when you have a scenario like that you will understand how it was possible to have killed so many Jews in WWII, and how it was possible to maintain Slavery up until the 1960s in The USA.

Answer 2

Slow down there, pal. This isn't ancient history. It was only a few years ago. The Congress voted almost unanimously to send the troops into Iraq. That included the democrats.

It was only when the insurgency emerged that he democrats began to undermine the war effort and seek political advantage.

Honestly, do you think the enemy is not encouraged by the messages attacking the president and the war effort that the democrats have been spewing?

Pick one: Democrats vote to send in the troops then maintain a high level of support and send a strong message that we are in it until victory no matter the cost.

Democrats vote to send in the troops then maintain a high level of disapproval for the president and the war and demand the withdrawal of the troops.


Which would the terrorists prefer?

Answer 3

The pope is not a temporal ruler. As a spiritual ruler, he has to admit that the loss of life is terrible. However, we live in a temporal society. I can't say the war in Iraq is unjust or senseless. It might have been a mistake, but there were and still are very legitimate reasons for going in there.

Now, we have to finish what we started or run the risk of injustice.

Answer 4

heavily, you're the two 10 years previous or the main ignorant person in the rustic. Bush did get us into an "unjust conflict", in Iraq. Troop ranges there have been gradually reducing. And all and sundry with a strategies is conscious you will not be able to take each soldier out of Iraq in one day till we help freshen up the mess we created. there is, notwithstanding, a "only conflict", and that's the conflict we are struggling with that we actually have a reason to combat. Obama accelerated operations in Afghanistan, precisely what he stated whilst he replaced into campaigning. indignant little hypocrites?? LOL

Answer 5

The Pope also doesn't believe in using contraception...

The government took (created?) an event that made us vulnerable and exploited it to start a war that is "unjust and senseless." (debatable). I have never been to Iraq, and I get mixed answers from my brothers and friends in the military - so I can not condemn or defend the war effort entirely. But I can condemn the government for using propaganda and dishonesty to gain support for a war that has a greater agenda (one that isn't for the benefit of the American people).

Answer 6

Right. We just allowed it.

What can we do once he's been elected. Many, many of us fought with everything we had to try to make sure anyone but him was elected. Unfortunatly, those that elect clowns like that always have much more resources than any one of the rest of us, and there's too much division for us to come together and get someone else elected until it gets as bad as it is now.

There's a good chance a Democrat will be elected the next time around, but it will be a tough race between the Democrats. A woman and a non-white frontrunners. Divison already among those wanting change... Those with money always stick together, they have a common motive. Everyone else wants different things and actually attempt to elect someone that is representative of their beliefs, not just someone who will protect their cash.

Answer 7

Politics.

Answer 8

through a campign of manipulation and fear. if there was any dissent or question about the motives of invading Iraq at the time, four years ago, they would call you anti-american, supporting the enemy. many members of the administration and the military were fired or resigned because they weren't going along with this criminal war. even the great Colin Powell resigned.
too late now, we have to deal with the consequences.

Answer 9

His "pals" included the corporate media, a lot of Democrats, and the whole foreign policy establishment. That's how. They all signed up for imperial war on shaky evidence.

Answer 10

WOW, even a great military mind like the Pope agrees with you, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Unjust and senseless HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Boy you libs crack me up with these jokes.

I have to assume by "pals" you mean, both Clintons, Pelosi, Kerry, Berger, Howard Dean, Harry Reid and a whole host of others who all made it very clear that Iraq was the problem and had to be dealt with. I really don't think that President Bush would be pals with that bunch of hypocritical flip-floppers.
