How did Bush manage to be 100% wrong about Iraq?

Answer 1

You've got to give him ONE THING

he is consistent


maybe he should have listened to his dad

Did he listen to his father
after Saddam Hussein after Iraqi forces were pushed out of Kuwait in the Gulf War.
"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different--and perhaps barren--outcome."
Seems like besides running the CIA and being a one term president, Bush Sr. was a a fortune teller, for his own kid

Answer 2

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ The Bush family is in the oil business. And guess who they do business with!!!! Bin Landen's family! They only good thing that has come out of the Iraq war is the death of a ruler that murdered, raped, and tortured innocent people. Other than that, I say bring our troops home and let the middle east take care of their own battles. We have been there long enough and lost enough!

Bush and his administration thwarted everyones attention from Bin Landen to Iraq. Amazing how we don't hear much of Bin Landen anymore isn't it.

Watch the movie 9/11 Ferienheight and learn......

It's important. I can't stress that enough. I watched it and already knew quite a bit of the stuff that was in this movie.

But there was more that I didn't know. Now I know why the Osma family plane was the only plane allowed to fly just three days after 911.

Answer 3

While most Americans believe that Bush is wrong based on our assumptions about what America is and stands for, he is 100% successful in what he and the neocon's stand for, create chaos, grab the loot in the confusion. They are Not about values, liberty, freedom or being a "beacon on the hill". Their goal is to control the resources and enslave people with debt and comsumerism. If that won't work with the home population then they will allow an immigrant population, legal or otherwise to come in and fill the void. And if you think the Dems are any better, they represent the same corporate and military/ industrial complex. It's all about the money and power and whatever it takes to get it.

Answer 4

He hasn't but his early decision making had a whole lot of Democratic intellegence that put us in the situation in the first place....

"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"While the distance between the United States and Iraq is great, Saddam Hussein's ability to use his chemical and biological weapons against us is not constrained by geography - it can be accomplished in a number of different ways - which is what makes this threat so real and persuasive." Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), October 10, 2002

Answer 5

He was 100 % right.

Saddam was a tyrant.
His "lovely" sons were cruel torturers.
Saddam was harboring al Qaeda terrorists.
Saddam had WMD and hid it.
Saddam looked goofy in underwear...oh wait, George Bush didn't predict that one. :)

Answer 6

It was based on bad intelligence.
But not just Bush believed it. Just about everyone, including many Democrats, said Saddam was a threat and had WMDs.

Answer 7

Who says he's 100% wrong. CNN? Fox 5 News? The National Enguirer? Your teacher? Do you know for sure everything about Iraq? Have you been over there in every crack and hole and cave and you know more than our government does? Man, since you know it all, you should be our next president!

Answer 8

Listen to the people the previous administration had in place in the FBI, CIA and Justice Department. He fired 8 from the Justice Department and has paid for that too.

Answer 9

Why do you lie 100% of the time?

Answer 10

He misunderestimated the Iraqi people.
