Why do Liberals and Democrats still think the war in Iraq was started illegally?

Question

So then you liberals think that BUSH declared war against Iraq? Our president of the United States declared this?

Of course you don't hear anything about the WMD's in Iraq, that would be devastating to the Democrats argument. Here's link to the article (yes, by FOX News) that has a link to the declassified information on the findings of WMD's.

Answer 1

illegal isn't he word. false pretenses is more apt.
it is the presidents responsibility to be absolutely certain war is the last resort and the intelligence to support the casue for war should be totally solid. these guys, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz, decided to invade Iraq first, then selected the evidence to support the war after the fact. i don't know if that is legal or illegal, but i do know its bullshit.

edit: it's not just liberals and democrats that have serious issues with the reasons and intentions behind the war in iraq. most Americans, most the world, and retired US military generals have even questioned what is going on.

Answer 2

Dude, where hv u been? Bush said there were WMD's. There weren't. The chase for OBL somehow became less important and somehow a ridiculous link of Al Qaeda and Iraq was made (maybe it was the Q's in their names), even though OBL hated Saddam's guts. So that wasn't ture. The irony is Al Qaeda have now moved into Iraq after the invasion. His case was really weak. However props for getting rid of Saddam and giving Shias and Kurds some freedom(but fears for Sunni's). Tht's abt the only good thing. But really served no purpose to the war against Al Qaeda. A very poor case indeed for war.

Answer 3

Well, President Bush stated that we will go to war with Iraq due to Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.
However, he then stated a different reason (to establish democracy) when inspections in Iraq failed to produce weapons of mass destruction.

We should have left Iraq as soon as we found out that Iraq didn't have weapons of mass destruction.

If President Bush really wanted to establish democracy there then that should have been the first reason from the very start of this mess.

Oh, yes. We are going to establish democracy by building a military base there and controlling the oil. Most importantly, implementing a puppet government following only the interests of the U.S.

Edit: Illegal or legal, the war in Iraq is wrong.

Answer 4

while you're relating the financial device, of path it wasn't all Bush's fault. yet end with the Congress majority with the aid of fact it replaced into basically a majority of one. And Bush had veto capability over something that comes from Congress. The sub-best mortgate mess replaced into not the fault of in simple terms one man or woman or one occasion the two. the substantial's undeniable greed of quite quite everyone in contact. i don't bear in mind Pelosi being the domicile Speaker 7 years in the past, yet we are a u . s . of rules and you're very own Presidential candidate, John McCain spoke out against waterboarding. The ACLU isn't the enemy, the 2nd somebody's rights are violated, even the rights of scumbags, that provides precedent to having good human beings's rights violated. unlawful wiretapping is going against the form. attempting to place discrimiation into the Constition is erroneous. attempting to place faith interior the faculties is going against the separation of Church and State. raising the stages of arsenic in our eating water is erroneous. not ending the job in Afghanistan and going into Iraq replaced into the biggest subject Bush did incorrect.

Answer 5

Ok, for those of you who have declared that Bush lied, please take a few seconds to watch the video at the link below. Then tell me if the war was illegal and all those in the video should also be held accountable.

Answer 6

Because they have a disdain for this country... particularly our military. They would much rather treat terrorist acts with a police force as opposed to treating terrorism with military force.

Here's another great couple of articles. I think it explains things well. Also included is a youtube link to a speech on "How Modern Liberals Think" I hope this can answer your question and maybe educate some misinformed libs.

Answer 7

Honestly, I don't know. however, I do know that the authorization to go to war with Iraq was signed by President Clinton in his last term.

Answer 8

Because it is.
Ossoma Bin Ladin was responsible for 9/11. And living in Afghanistan at the time. Iraq had nothing to do with it. Bush only invaded and took over to clean up the mistake his daddy made in 1991. Oops! Looks like he made it worse!

Answer 9

The war was a trick by the many supporters of Israel who are senior White House "advisers". It was an attack against an enemy of Israel by Israelis who manipulated Bush just as they manipulate American political opinion generally.

Iran is next on the list of these same people.

A slightly out of date list of Zionist White House "advisers " is below, please ignore the brash style, the information is in any case public information and no secret

Answer 10

If you repeat a lie enough, it becomes reality.....I believe Marks or Stalin said that...in any case, their blind hatred for our country and President justifies the lie in their mind....the ends always justifies the means to a lib.
