Re: Dems for the War in iraq
if you make a decision based on the information given to you and later find the information was a lie are you wrong to alter that decision later ?
however you would have thought the average person with average intelligence could have seen it was misinformation.
I dont think I ever voted for a democrat, sometimes I have penciled in micky mouse, if the secretary of defense was an elected official I would pencil in marvin the martian, at least he had a plan.
so I cannot fault either party for,after finding out the decision was based on half truths, for altering their positions.
thats not a flip flop its a realization.
#4 and 5,patently false and can be refuted by the IG website and the actual letters written by the new world order folks in 98-99. the blather about saddam harboring and funding terror was just that,blather, he was a two bit thug who didnt do much of anything, however saudi arabia perfectly fit Bush's own statement about harboring,training and financing yet not a single troop, in fact we pulled most our troops out of saudi and turned the bases over to the house of saud.
as far as harboring terrorists now that is something the US has never done, unless it was to our advantage. Posada is only one example.
if ya wanna say stuff from 93 is valid can we trot out some US-Iraqi aids from republicans in the late 80's?
the rest of it just rambles to much, its as bad as reading some of the left wing blogs.
about the only pertainat facts left are we have been in afghanistan 5 years,Iraq just over 3 and both are rapidly deteriorating yet the course has been stayed.
it really no longer mattered how much truth got cherry picked or who lied about what intel.
it matters that the drug money from afghanistan is fueling the taliban, we are blaming pakistan for a NATO problem and the field commander on the TV the other night all but said we have lost the anbar province.
its not particularly Bush's personal fault, I believe he had great intentions, he just choose the wrong cabinet members to implement them and refuses to correct the mistake.
can ya show me where the overall stratagy and course staying has made great strides in the past 5 years and could it have actually been done in 3 months like Rumsfeld promised ?
asnd if its ok to go back to the early 90's can we go back to the 80's,70's,60's and late 50's in that reagion ?
or is that entirely to much history?
The US has terribly bloody hands in the past 4 decades because most our policies were driven by two things, oil and keeping the commies from obtaining any of our oil from the reagion directly.
nothing more.
so how far can we go back ?
