"LOL.....I was thinking the same thing Plane This is at least the 4th thread today, that Xo felt the need to clarify his position on how he feels about Bush (& Cheney)"
I think truth is truth...no matter how many times one speaks it.: Yeah, he sure taught those Iraqis to amass WMDs. Or did he teach them not to bomb the WTC? good point, Xavier.....cheep shot against XO, imo ....especially in response o a thread of genuine disgust for the loss of so many lives in the war that was probably not worth it in the end.
Miss Cynthia.....seriously, I think you're (IMO) beginning to let your emotions get the better of you. You don't like Bush, fine. You think he made a terrible mistake going into Iraq, fine. I have no problem with that. Xo has been letting his hatred of Bush permeate in nearly every thread, which is also fine...but doesn't make him immune to anyone that points that out
EVERY life lost,
and let me repeat EVERY life, (be it innocent civilians, or coalition military) lost in this war is absolutely tragic, and mourned. One can only wonder that if Saddam had fully complied as he was mandated to do, how many of these lives would have not been lost. War is sometimes a necessary evil, and it WAS the last avenue Bush opted for, as diplomacy and heavy handed sanctions weren't getting the cooperation necessary from Saddam, and following the events of 911, Bush could no longer wait endlessly. It would have been irresponsible of him, as my President, had he.
That said, if you want to jump ito the egregious and asanine distortions used by the left, such as from Xo, Brass, & Tee, implying that we went after Saddam because he supposedly had something to do with 911, or even worse, we went in for the oil garbage, don't. It'll make you look as idiotic as when they perpetuate those lies. You know why we went into Iraq, and it was NOT because Iraq was behind or even had something to do with 911. We went in becasue there was documented connections both direct and indirect that Iraq had with terrorists, much like those that pepetrated 911. And if those terrorists could do what they did with just some boxcutters, God knows what they might be able to accomplish with the use of one of Iraq's WMD, that nearly EVERYONE thought he had, including the prior Presidential administration, and nearly every foreign leader, outside of those Arab countries directly connected to the Middle East. We (as in most rational people) all thought he had them. It was perfectly logical to assume such given not just the intel, but the time he had with no inspectors, and the fact he's used them before
Now, as I said, feel free to hate Bush for what you perceive was a grave wrong. But I emplore you not to fall down the path of the idiotic left, with the asanine mantra of how Bush supposedly lied us into war. That's the branch that belongs to those who believe Bush stole the election. I call it the Elvis faction
