Bush had to go into Iraq for the following reasons:
1.) The US had just suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history;
2.) Saddam had already shown he was not afraid to wipe out an entire populace using chemical, biological, and weapons of mass destruction (gassing over 30,000 Kurds)
3.) Saddam utterly detested the US after we forced him out of Kuwait during the first Iraq war; and with his repeated attacks on US aircraft, he was clearly an enemy of the US
4.) Saddam thumbed his nose at virtually every international treaty he was a party to, kicking UN weapons inspectors out of his country.
5.) Our own intel said that he was acquiring WMDs. Reports from at least 7 other countries corroborated this.
Now..if you knew one of your enemies was not afraid to wipe out thousands of civilians with chemical weapons, and your own intel told you he was currently acquiring weapons of mass destruction, you knew he was your enemy, and you had just suffered the worst terrorist attack in the nation's history on U.S. soil, causing the nation to demand increases in security, would you have stood by idly?
Come on. Bush doesn't know where bin laden is. It's an embarassment to his administration every day bin laden is at large... it is further reason why people think his administration is inept. The nazi analogy is really a terrible fit because the US stood up to the nazis using military might... the nazis never attacked the US directly, japan brought us into that war...
I'm no fan of the Bush administration; in fact, I wish he would leave, but I think what you are saying warrants some reconsideration.

each conflict is fought for some aims set earlier hand. The conflict in Iraq replaced into additionally began with 2 aims and those have been (a million) removal of weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) and (2) removing of Saddam government because of the fact of its help for terrorists. the 1st objective could not be finished because of the fact there have been NO WMDs what so ever and 2nd objective replaced into not great adequate to relatively salary a conflict. US could do away with Saddam with different ability like a coup, inner stream with the aid of Iraqis etc (as US has executed it in different international places in the previous), so it incredibly is risk-free to assert that the relatively objective replaced into to have actual administration over the oil wells and that has been finished. conflict against Terror is a commercial slogan thats why neither UN nor majority of the international locations participated/ supported the conflict. the sole international places that actively participated have been people who had direct challenge with the oil. The harmless civilians and US infantrymen being killed in Iraq is infact an act of terrorism and could provide up. In all the fairness all the foreign places forces could be sent lower back from iraq and Iraqis could be permit loose to % upon formation of their government and how they like to stay. No u . s . has any marvelous to intrude in yet another u . s .'s inner affairs as all the international locations in the international are equivalent and function the excellent to stay freely and independently.

Well, if he broke the law, wouldn't the democrats be the first to press charges and try to impeach him? Don't understand what Bin Laden has to do with Iraq? I don't think our country in this day and age would have supported our government in the World War II under same conditions no matter who was President. Could you imagine if the daily death toll were on CNN and Fox news each night? Thousands dead in a day!!! We don't hold the same values we did during the 1940's.

How the hell do you know that Bush knows where Ladin is and when the fuc% did we have WW11? Do you mean WWII? Of course you do. You're just dense. Do you suggest that the way to end this war is nuclear weapons or are you just another ignorant SOB whose veiw of the world consists of the inside of your rectum and you don't have a clue about history?
In what way did he break the law, oh wise one, when he single handedly started this war? I guess you're one of the brainless twits who believe that he sent Katrina to New Orleans.
Yes Bush has profited so much from this war. Why he's just the Belle of the ball now! He's so popular and has so much clout now that he just can't afford to wave his magic wand and let the war end.
I'll be glad when school starts back.

President Bush broke no laws during his invasion of Iraq. He went to Congress and received Congressional support for the war in the Fall of 2002. Once Congress approves the use of military action, it is up to the President, as Commander-in-Chief, how and when the military is used

What law would that be?
Do you know what your talking about?
How would Bush know where bin Laden is? Did you tell him? Why didn't YOU kill bin Laden when you had the chance?
World War 11???? You need to go back to high school and get your diploma before you can eat at the grownups table, Skippy.
As for the 2000 election, the Supreme Court ruled in his favor, making his victory lawful.

He hasn't broken any laws at all. If Bush knew where Bin Laden was he would produce him in a hearbeat, then watch that popularity soar. Congress voted to approve military action in Iraq. It is alright to have an opinion, but at least make sure it is an educated and informed one.

In that line of thought, Hillary should be kicked out of the government cause she and many other democrats agreed to this so called war that is only a skirmish. Congress voted for it and the UN voted for it NOW, what law was broken?

He does?! How do you know this? Did he tell you he knows where Bin Laden is or did you see him, accidentally, before he hid again? Exactly, how did he break the law with Iraq, but the Democrats who voted for it did not? Finally, you really should learn how to spell and use proper punctuation marks, though I guess I'm not surprised.
