Bush: Iraq Invasion My Responsibility

50 millions lives were lost because after WW I the nation of Germany was not rebuilt. That mistake was not made after WW II, and it should never be made again.

Iraq will be one of America's and Freedom's strongest ally. As would Iran or any people that are enabled to successfully live in Freedom.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

If this is Rove's genius, I'd let him go.

[Loud Mime]

It isn't Bush's fault. The intelligence agencies were guessing wrong, but they were guessing in favor of defending this country's person.

Notice how people have forgotten about UN Resolution 1441?

The event leading into the war are complex and intertwined. It isn't the just a coin flip.

[Loud Mime]

As that Iraqi lady said, anybody who doesn't appreciate what our nation has done, and President Bush, can go to hell.

[billbears]

Don't worry about it. The Constitution goes right out the window as long as a Republican as in office because 'we' are in control or some nonsense.

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said.

How long did that take? Three years?

[Normal4me]

I was actually agreeing with you.....been a long day. Sorry if you mistook my post. Merry Christmas.

[jwalsh07]

My sincere apologies.

I wish you and yours the very best Christmas.

God bless ya and get some rest. :-}

Just to remind everybody. Throw away the intelligence and let's go to what's reported in the papers. Before the war Saddam was shooting at our planes everyday in the no fly zone. He had thrown the UN Inspectors out of Iraq. Why? When they went back in, Saddam could not account for his Weapons of Mass Destruction. Also, after 911, were we going to let Saddam exist? A physcopath with a history on mass executions and a documented (PBS Frontline) lust for WMDs. I have complained about President Bush before but he was right to take us into Iraq, and Congress was right for voting to do it as well.

[Normal4me]

Ask anyone today why we went to war. The usual answer is "Bush lied"....."WMD's".....blah blah blah. Then tell them that it was because of UN res 1441 in which ALL 15 Security council members votes yes on it. We "Rushed" to war taking only 16+ months to do so and we went in "Unilateraly" with only 40+ countries backing us.

How is it possible that you can "Invade" a country and take it over for more than 2 1/2 years and lose 2150 soldiers? Can you even IMAGINE what would have been said if President Bush would have predicted this before the start of this?

Look at the facts, ignore the media.

"President George W. Bush took the blame for going to war in Iraq over faulty intelligence but said he was right to topple Saddam and urged Americans to be patient as Iraqis vote."

-Reuters

Holy connotations. That's not what he said!

We have to do something about these people. I have some hope, though. Fox news radio has replaced CNN radio and ABC radio on many stations I listen to. The NYT and LA Times and Tribune Co. are in the toilet. CNN TV is hurting. Capitalism, as long as we still have it, is our best weapon. Reuters seems to go untouched, and they are one of the worst.
They control most of the headlines it seems, and, at least in this country, most people don't get past the headlines.
It is time to bring them down.
How? Maybe launch a campaign to let the news providers know that if they use Reuters, they will share the fate of CNN etc.
Email FOX, MSN, Yahoo, your local media etc. and demand they bag Reuters.

"If they win a lot of seats next year... this will be part of the evidence for impeachment"

You think the Dems are really looking forward to having Cheney as President?

[AmeriBrit]

Thanks ....bookmarked for future reference.

[rightinthemiddle]

I'm with you...or, we could just put our heads in the sand.

I can't even get the Sidebar Moderator to post this so Freepers can see the bias from the AP.

All we get is stories posted from obscure websites parroting what we say on FR.

Activism? I wish we could. I e-mailed everybody I could think of...perhaps it'll make "Grapevine" on Hume's show.

[HankReardon]

Much of the intelligence turned out to be right. The Iraq War was right. Iraq had WMD components and programs. If I have pieces of a gun scattered about I technically do not have a gun. Should we have waited on iron clad intelligence that Saddam's Iraq had put his WMD pieces togther. HELL NO! Saddam had used what WMD's he had in the past already, he would use them again or hand them off to his Al Qaeda cohorts.

Good catch, and one might have added, a congress apparently unwilling, or unable to do their job properly and so placing additional burden on the executive branch of government to get the job done that congress said needed to be done but just couldn't muster the courage to issue the declaration. What a bunch of petunia's.

[wita]

Smack dab in the middle of mine this morning, so I got a double dose. Once there, once here, however is anyone surprise d by what they read from AP. I still haven't come up with a good acronym for AP. Anyone? Have to remember that name jennifer loven. Too bad she isn't ... instead of writing BS for AP.

[rightinthemiddle]

Jennifer Loven, AP writer, Liberal Liar. We are watching you.


AP: Amateur Propaganda

[pissant]

these are not amateurs, rather professional seditionists.

But the power of the truth will win the day. I just want to find a way to hold these pukes criminally liable for their treason.

[Sybeck1]

It's one man's fault we are there. Saddam Hussein.

When the bias is so obvious, it's pretty amateurish. I'm working on something for Jennifer Loven right now. I'll keep you informed.
