Republicans, if you were to discover, without any doubt, that Bush took the US to war in Iraq strictly for...?

Question

...oil and to enrich the military industrial complex...

...Many of you would support that, wouldn't you? In spite of all the lives lost, many Republicans would still support the war, even for those reasons, wouldn't they?

Andrew, I agree. Bush is just the frontman, and not a very bright one at that.

Answer 1

As a devout Republican I would feel all warm and fuzzy

Plus it is better to kill over 1/2 million Iraqi's and displace over 2, 1/2 million than to fight those WTC bombers in our back yard.

NIMBY Con

EDIT:

OMG I think Vegaswoman just outed herself as a centrist

Answer 2

If that were the case, why in the hell am I paying >$3 for gas? Wars used to be fought over land or religious issues. Only recently (20th century) has it been for the glimmer of "democracy." I bet if the US took over Iraq and their oil wells and gave people $2/gal gas, very few would be "opposed" to the war.

Answer 3

Lamplighter, the question itself is phrased improperly... you use the name Bush as though it were his idea alone.

the PNAC planned to invade Iraq long before Bush ever took office. he may have had his own reasons (revenge?), but it has been made abundantly clear over the last 7 years that he is not in control of his own position.

conservatives have been trying to privatize America for 40 years, and Bush is the perfect figurehead, since he is stubborn, and knows how to sound endearing when he's actually being condescending.

Bush is a pitch man.

Answer 4

however the story did no longer end. It went on for 8 years and Bush even gave up attempting to win saying that it became into as much as the subsequent president. @DouceBag...:: Germany all started international Wars I and II. the international became into in threat of being occupied by making use of Germany and the U. S. Democratic president went to warfare to offer up it. The North Koreans by making use of regularly occurring McArthur violating presidental and UN orders to no longer go north of the thirty 8th parallel. regularly occurring MacArthur became into relieved of duty because of the fact of it. The Bay of Pigs became right into a secret CIA challenge. It failed because of the fact JFK ordered it halted against the objections of the CIA suitable brass. the unquestionably start up of the Vietnam warfare became into interior the Eisenhower administration, JFK became into approximately to withdraw the troops we had there while he became into shot. Johnson and Nixon more desirable the warfare on suggestion of the U. S. militia generals. z

Answer 5

I wonder what that equation would look like?

Let S equal (x)American soldiers killed & wounded + (y)innocent civilians killed by whomever divided by (a)dollars per gallon + (b)stock dividends

Republicans might or might not support a higher S value than the rest of us. It's too late for me to be doing this kind of math.

Answer 6

Gee and when the Democrats passed a resolution supporting both the removal of Saddam and the use of force did you still blame Govenor Bush? Since you provide no evidence to support that claim, its called a THEORY.

Answer 7

We had Saddam by the balls with the UN Oil for Food program. If it was about oil, there would never have been a war.

Answer 8

They might.....
when cutting off heads in the US? LOL at least it's nothing your using. So your safe

Answer 9

Hell no. There are many people who do not identify themselves with either party. You know that, right?

Answer 10

They would support Bush for the exact same reason Neo-Nazi's still support Hitler to this very day.

They are mentally sick psychopaths who - if they cannot be in power as dictators - would rather see all life on earth end.

And that's the truth.
