Why all the suddent views change on Iraq???

Question

Okay I just have to get other opinions on this. How come probably 75 percent believe we need to get out of Iraq and say George Bush is doing such a bad job. Although right after the 9/11 attacks 3/4 of the population wanted to go to Iraq after that sad day. Now everyone is saying we should never have been there. I just wanna know how everyone can change there stories over just a few years.

Answer 1

because the Dems" the ones that voted to go to war" are now afraid they will get booted out of office so the changfe their views to appease the voting base.


A common DNC tactic.

Its why they are the party of the jackass

Answer 2

Personally I believed the President of the United states of America. I am not a republican.
I along with the entire world was behind George w Bush in bringing to justice those that did that very cowardly deed on 9/11.
Unfortunately GWB has morphed that situation into a war with Iraq.
You are right, I should have NEVER believed him in the first place.
WE ARE ALL SORRY NOW

President Bush and his vice president conceded Thursday in the clearest terms yet that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, even as they tried to shift the Iraq war debate to a new issue — whether the invasion was justified because Saddam was abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.

Answer 3

Because its an election time (people are running early this year, because the Republican and Democratic nominees will be decided around the first of March). If things were made out to be all rosey, the Republicans would never loose. Since much of the media and half the voters are Democrats, they have to bash Bush and the war in Iraq, because they don't have much else to bash him on. If Iraq was never attacked, they would be wanting to bring the soldiers home from Afganistan.

Answer 4

Two things:
1. People become bored and tired of the same old thing: when it first happened, it was "new" and "exciting".
2. The Media. The great American media and all the media around the world is controlled by about 5 different groups. I mean ALL of the media ... your local radio stations, TV stations, newspaper, what have you, all over the world. So, they have tremendous clout. If they want, they keep a "story" on front page; if it doesn's suit them, the "story" is killed.
Also, amazingly, people cannot remember things from even a year ago. That is how the Feds keep claiming that inflation is only 1, 2 or 3 per cent for the past 22 years; people can't remember how much they paid for things even a year ago and can't do the simple math required to compute the percent increase. The same for news. They can't remember, don't care.

Answer 5

We didn't want to go to war with Iraq, we wanted to find Usama Bin Laden, you know? The one who took credit for the 9/11 attacks. Of course, we were all shooken up about the whole thing. Honestly, the Patriot Act would have never been passed if it were not for the terrorist attack. People don't think rationally when things like that happen.
Also, Bush waged war on Iraq after failing to capture Usama. I think it was to help distract the public of his failure to capture him. Or maybe this whole thing was an inevitable lead up to the war in Iraq, I really don't know.

Still, about all Presidents are given a horrible rating by it's citizens. They can never please everyone, especially when you think about how much of the country voted for them, you already can presume half of the country already has their biases against the president.

Answer 6

It might have something to do with the no-holds-barred onslaught of negative press that has been put out by the mainstream media from Day One. The media has been criminally negligent in its reporting of this war. They say no WMDs were found -- LIE (ask any soldier, sailor, airman or marine who has actually done a tour in Iraq and they'll tell you that there were a heck of a lot more WMDs found in Iraq than CNN or CBS has reported), they say that Bush is a hypocrite because this was supposed to be a war on terror and over 600,000 innocent Iraqis have died at the hands of the U.S. Armed Forces -- LIE (for starters, over 400 al-Qaeda operatives have been captured or killed in Iraq; the death toll of innocent Iraqis is nowhere near 600,000; and the vast majority of now dead innocent Iraqi citizens were killed at the hands of their own people in factional fighting), and they also say that the Iraqi people want us out of their country -- LIE (again, ask a troop who has actually been to Iraq and they'll tell you that your average Iraqi citizen is grateful that we liberated them from a tyrannical ruler and they're glad we're still there helping them keep the factional fighting from getting out of control). The liberals are anti-war and anti-Bush, and their lap-dogs in the mainstream media are doing everything they can to make Bush and the war in Iraq look bad.

Answer 7

the single biggest reason American citizens who have changed their view over the years have changed becasue the war has dragged on for so long. We want the solution and we want it yesterday.
As for the policitians....always keep in mind that policitians want to get elected. They will say what they need to say to get elected. If a large vocal voting block cries "get out of Iraq" policitians will say that they will get us out of Iraq. The truth is that we will not get out of Iraq no matter who the president is. Listen closely over the next several weeks and you wil hear policiticians who once called for getting out (samw ones who voted to go in), saying that we need to be cautious about an early withdrawal, we need to ensure teh Iraqis can self govern, etc. They will essentially say we need to stay in Iraq while trying not to sound like it.

Answer 8

He desires to win the election first and then decide for a speedy withdrawl. Democrats do no longer care in the event that they mislead independents and conservatives. Liberals will vote for Obama no count what Obama says. that's the moderates and conservatives he's attempting to win over.

Answer 9

Alot can change in a couple of years. There are too many answers to this question, I'm only on a lunch break.

Answer 10

5 years of IED, car bombs,Abu Ghraib and Since war began 3464 Casualties and counting.. that's how 75 percent believe we need to get out of Iraq..

Answer 11

Dude, that was five years ago! I know it's a new concept but when people see something is not working they normally change tactics.
