Why is it that democrates have nothing to tell but lies about George Bush? Like He started an illegal war.?

Answer 1

They think by saying these things, it will excuse them from the fact that they voted for the action taken against Sadam Hussein. And to those that said President Bush attacked the people are just dead wrong. The U.N. are either pansies, where in bed with Hussein, or corrupt as corrupt can be. There was I believe 17 (count them, Seeeeevvvvvvvveeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnteeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnn) resolutions drafted by the U.N. that stated Hussein was not to pursue or use WMDs. So not only did Bush say so, but also the U.N., President Clinton, John Kerry, just to say a few. There were reports that Hussein sent people to Libya to purchase high grade plutonium. I don't think was going use that to upgrade his microwave oven. If anyone had ever heard or read resolution 1441, to paraphrase; "it mentions that Hussein had to report all the weapons and other instruments of war to the inspectors and the U.N. or suffer major repercussions." The U.S. and Bush did what the U.N. pansies were too afraid of doing, oust a rouge dictator that murdered thousands of his own countrymen and stole millions of dollars for his and his sons own personal use while millions of people lived in squalor. He had rape rooms and the U.S. military uncovered mass graves. So, to those who think that this is an illegal war, what was the alternative, talking? Neville Chamberlain had that much success talking to Hitler and appeasing to his demands. Oh wait, WWII still happened and 6 million Jews died for that capitulation.

Answer 2

What short memories people have!

Doesn't anyone remember that the UN issued not one, not two, not even ten, but SEVENTEEN harshly worded resolutions against Iraq over the course of a decade. Saddam smugly laughed at it all. He knew the UN has no cojones, and just to hedge his bets, he systematically bribed the UN Security Council members of France, Germany and Russia. That is why they ultimately did not agree to armed conflict. The resolutions they freely signed threatened military intervention, but Saddam had bought them off in the Oil For Food scandal.

Oh wait, maybe most of the populace never read about this huge scandal. They were too busy reading the 47 front page NYT articles about Abu Ghraib. Ya gotta love that Liberal press. They're all about fair, balanced, responsible journalism (oh wait, that's Fox News. Sometimes I get confused.)

There was nothing illegal about the decision to remove the "Butcher of Baghdad". He was making a mockery of the UN, essentially reducing it to irrelevancy. Bush simply honored the seventeen UN Resolutions. All UN Security Council members are on record as saying that Saddam is breaking international treaties and law, and by constituting such a threat to the region and to his own people must be stopped. However, the UN did nothing.

The UN is really good at that. They have a lot of practice.

Answer 3

That's not a lie! He did in fact start an illegal war. This war in Iraq will go down in history as the only US involved war fought due a sitting President's personal agenda.

Bush will go down in history as the worst President ever, even Richard Nixon was a better President and that's not saying much is it? Watch the Republican Presidential debate tonight and see how many of the 10 candidates jump on Bush's bandwagon.

No they'll stay away from being identified with him, if he is so great [in your opinion] then they would bring his name up numerous times tonight, but I doubt if his name will be mentioned even once.

Answer 4

Is that the ONLY "lie" "democrates" (sic) are telling about him?

Bush is actually batting .500 on the Illegal War front.
The Afghanistan War to remove the Taliban and capture and prosecute Osama bin Laden was not only a legal war, but one fully supported by the American people. The problem is, 5 years later, the Taliban is not gone, we still don't have Osama bin Laden, and our Commander in Chief, who appeared on TV every night after the attacks on Sept 11, saying how we were gonna "smoke bin Laden outa his cave" has not spared a thought for bin Laden in years, literally spitting on the memories of those who died on September 11, 2001.

The invasion of Iraq was not sanctioned by the UN, none of the terrorists in the 9/11 attacks came from Iraq (they mostly came from Saudi Arabia, who employ President Bush's daddy), Al-Qaeda and the Taliban had no assets in Iraq, Hussein had never attacked America, had never THREATENED to attack America. Our President went on National TV and swore Hussein was building WMDs. No problem there, WMDs could be Chemical or Biological as well as nuclear. The LIE was, that Saddam had NUCLEAR weapons, when he didn't. This was the whole justification for invasion and it was a bald faced lie designed to foster support from the people.

Answer 5

Congress approved President Bush's decision to invade Iraq. Congress approval included that of the majority of Democrats. Are the Democrats liars too?

As for UN approval, forgetaboutit. Kofi Annan's son Kojo was in bed with Saddam to the tune of $500,000 profits from the Oil-for-food scam. Germany, and France were selling arms to Saddam. Russia was the main source of Saddam's WMD's. All this came to a halt with the US invasion of Iraq.

Answer 6

I am not a Democrat, but I, too, believe that George W. Bush started an unconstitutional, illegal, unjustifiable and immoral war against another sovereign nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the U.S.A. I believe the Bush administration intended from its very first day in office to invade Iraq for three terribly 'lame' reasons:
1) The Bush family has a personal vendetta against Saddam Hussein ever since the days of Desert Storm when George H.W. Bush was criticized, ridiculed and humiliated for 'not finishing the job' and ousting Hussein at that time;
2) Dick Cheney and his buddies at Exxon-Mobil wanted all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so they could all get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap, easily-accessible foreign OIL;
3) Ever since World War II, the giant U.S. military-industrial complex (which Eisenhower warned us about) recognized how profitable 'war' could be so. So, it bought up all the politicians, hired pricey lobbyists and formed special interest groups to encourage and promote more 'war'. Thus, the U.S.A. became embroiled in the Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; Vietnam and, of course, Desert Storm - all to help boost the profits of firms like McDonnell-Douglass, Lockheed-Martin and Sikorsky.
Now a new 'war' was necessary to help boost those sagging profits and provide billions of dollars for the two newest government contractors: the Carlyle Group and Halliburton, both of whom have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House.
This so-called 'war' was started for OIL and WAR PROFITEERING - it has nothing to do with 9/11; nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction or destroying the 'evil empire'; nothing to do with bringing democracy to Iraq.
It's a sin that our U.S. soldiers have been conned into believing they're fighting for God and their country, when in fact they're DYING for a few wealthy elitists' enormous avarice and arrogance.
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all 535 members of the most arrogant, incompetent, cowardly, contemptible, corrupt Republican-led Congress in U.S. history [who stood by and allowed Bush to run rampant over the law of the land and our Constitution] deserve to be tried in an international tribunal for high crimes against humanity, and - if convicted - must be hanged just as they arranged to hang Hussein.
Surely Satan has reserved a special oil-soaked blood-stained corner of Hell for these 538 cretins where they can spend their eternal damnation for all the destruction they have caused and the hundreds of thousands of lives they have taken for no justifiable reason. -RKO- 06/05/07

Answer 7

The left has banked their entire campaign for 08 on a Blame Bush, Defeat Platform.... George Soros and Moveon.org has spent Billions on talking points that deflect attention from what does threaten the US to play to emotions of the left..... Unfortunately things are beginning to back fire... as the far left power grab of the 06 election is fracturing the party as "Middle of the Road Democrats" are distancing them selves from the Palosi gang.

Answer 8

Illegal war is such a harsh word. The dems were not lying when they said he started a stupid war. Let's see, no wmds, iraq worse off than before the war, bin ladin still on the lamb, after troop surge only one-third of iraq controlled. Must I go on. So these aren't lies unless you know where bin ladin is or where there are wmds and if you have a plan to control iraq.

Answer 9

How about this one - just today, I learned Cheney thinks
it's "our obligation" to make sure the terrorists at GITMO
are getting health care, while the volunteers of 9/11
are getting none, because they weren't gov. employed.

The war - I believe it was Al Qaeda who attacked us, not Iraq.
There is a difference. Bush, Cheney, Rove - despicable.

Answer 10

The war was not illegal, and even if it was, what's so bad about removing a genocidal dictator and rebuilding Iraq?
