<<<<<<<<<"I am not very impressed with Prez Bush but I am thankful he had the courage to at last stand up against radical islam and not worry about political fallout...if Iraq was the place to make a stand against islam ..so be it.... IMO it was necessary and long over due.".....>>>>>>>>>> So new we've went from wmd's to to chemical weapons, to saddam was involved with 9-11, to killing his fellow citizens, to promoting democracy by liberating the Iraqis to all of the other reason which were given for the invasion, each has been proven to be bogus one by one. Now we're at standing up to radical islam. The war on terror was a war against al quida and the taliban by their compliance with bin laden. No more no less. Junior knows his legacy is riding on the outcome in iraq and he has stayed the course long past the time he should have. The time for him to finally admit iraq was possibly the biggest blunder ever made by any president has long passed. He is now just hoping for the impossible or staying the course so his think tank library can do their job to convince the public junior was right. It will be an impossible job. If we were responding to 9-11 we should have took the fight into pakistan or saudi arabia before iraq. It was a pre 9-11 planned war, when 9-11 happened they grabbed the opportunity to falsely connect saddam to it and the results so far have been horrific. Junior is fully to blame for this. Even if we were able to pull out right now and iraq stood as a democracy I don't feel we employed out troops in the correct way to respond to 9-11. The chances of this happening are almost nil anyway. Every person in junior's cabinet had their own personal reason which allowed them to be talked into approving the invasion. None of them rose to the level of worthiness for us to spend 2 trillion to achieve the result which is very much in doubt right now. This doesn't even take into account all of the lives lost and lives ruined. Junior is a failure, the biggest failure ever to hold his office.
