Who should I trust on IRAQ?

Question

Two back to back Presidents of the United States who say Iraq was a threat and support the War. One Democrat & One Republican.

Or Should I listen to MoveOn.org, Al Qaida, Daily Kos, Sean Penn and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who say the war is 'illegal' and blame America?

(CNN) -- 2004 -- Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq but chastised the administration over the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

"People can quarrel with whether we should have more troops in Afghanistan or internationalize Iraq or whatever, but it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there were unaccounted for stocks of biological and chemical weapons."

-Bill Clinton on "Larry King Live" 07/23/2003

Answer 1

Listen to the left. They'll tell you what most people dont want to hear...the ugly truth.

Answer 2

Well, if it didn't put an unbearable strain on your cranium, I'd suggest you use your own powers of reason.

Sorry, just had a moment of silliness there.

As a backup, you could trust those who DON'T have a vested interest in your believing this or that, but use credible sources.

Given that Bush has lied several million times, I certainly don't buy whatever he says without confirmation from an actual human.

If you want to know why our attack on Iraq was illegal, you would consult international law.

But you don't, so you won't.

Like Bush you think that what is true is whatever you FEEL like believing, whatever evidence and reason say.

Uh, who do YOU blame Bush's War of Choice on? He is, after all, the decider.

Although the press and Congress caved, and refused to listen to reason, or seek evidence, it was Bush who wanted it and pushed it through. He wanted to be known as a Great President, by being a War President.

He has refused to listen to reason all along.

And thus, has murdered a million people, and counting.

And you think that's a GOOD thing.

Answer 3

The real answer and why we have free press is so you can figure it out on your own! You take the two sides break down the Bias' and discover the truth. But 2nd Clinton quote is General just so you know. As a member o the military that knows that kind of stuff you can find all over the internet info on countries with BIO/CHEM weapons. Iraq has had them since the 80's... You should know things like that... However, Iraq did NOT have the capability to produce nukes. The military actually knew that going in... We knew Iran was trying and NK was almost there but did we do anything to them? no... Sadamm a bad ruler? tortureer? Maybe... but look at the Burmese Junta, Darfur, Somalia, atrocities across the globe and we go into Iraq? Also, in your half-a$$ed Bias research did you not come across the video of Cheney discuccing how Attacking Iraq was "Not a decision I would make"; three years prior to the invasion. And finally OF COURSE Clinton says afganistan was a good decision because he bombed it before he left... He knew what was up... However, Bushes complacency and laziness led us to where we are today....

Answer 4

why wouldn't Clinton support the war at the time. He was lied to just like everyone else.

trust the truth. sit down and write out five very good reasons, legitimate reasons why we should have invaded Iraq.

I won't wait. There aren't five legitimate reasons. When we go to war at the whim of a President, this country suffers.

Answer 5

I would listen to ANYONE except MoveOn.org, Al Qaida, Daily Kos, Sean Penn, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Baghdad Rosie, and any LIBERAL PROGRESSIVE (yeah - I laugh at the name too).

Answer 6

Should we trust the people who said this war would only take 6 months, that the case for WMD's was a "slam dunk", that the insurgency was in it's last throes, that we're making progress, etc.?

Or do we trust the people who said the opposite of that and... were (GASP!) RIGHT 100% of the time?

Answer 7

I think first off, no one should listen to you

And second, context dear, taking out of context is a neocon smear.

Peace

Answer 8

Who should you trust? Contact your friends or family who are there fighting and ask them who to trust. I think you'll be changing your tune in a hurry.

Answer 9

You know the answer to that Penny :). The far left has know answers at all on anything. Peace
