Bill Clinton signed legislation passed by the GOP congress on Iraq.

It didn't result in the 2003 invasion. Matter of fact, Clinton was out of office for over two years by the time Dubya let Chicken Dick Cheney boss him around and demand that he start the stupid war that benefited Cheney's Halliburton so well.

That's the unpleasant reality for Dubya apologists who are in deep denial.

Of course, you're free to continue denying.

As would most of us. I would die to have James Webb over Hillary.

Don't worry if crooked Hillary is elected many more people will have the opportunity to die.
She never gets tired of seeing the people around her die.
She may have sent an email asking Trump if he had any cemetery plots for sale but it likely was deleted. She plans for the future alright.

Try super beets. They are saying amazing things about it but I don't know if it helps suicidal depression.
What have you got to loose.

Actually, it did. Which other law passed by Congress and signed by a POTUS specifically authorized the liberation of Iraq?

Watch and learn...

Actually, it didn't. All the 1998 law did was say that it should be the POLICY of the United States to support efforts to remove Saddam Hussein from power. If it did what you claim, then there would have been no need to pass further legislation in 2002 authorizing military force. And yet the government did need the Iraq Resolution.

Read it a little more carefully. It authorizes the use of Dept of Defense assets to achieve the liberation of Iraq.

About the Department of Defense - DoD 101

And yet no military operations occurred. Until the Iraq Resolution in 2002 that specifically authorized military intervention. If this authorized military intervention, why the Iraq Resolution in 2002?

Laws are funny things. Just as the 14th amend was written to ensure the rights of former slaves and their descendants and never meant to provide birth right citizenship to illegals, it has been twisted into something else.

The fact that Bill Clinton elected not to attack Iraq doesn't mean that it wasn't within his power to do. Just as he had several opportunities to take care of Bin Laden and choose not to.

First of all Hillary called all Trump's supporters deplorable and uneducated how is that different from what Trumps says .She has no better qualities than what he has according to what you are saying .


It is the democrats who look for the minority every 4 years with empty promises to keep them dependent on government aide programs . Then they don't know care about them until the next election when they need their votes . Why are they still in poverty and need government help ?


Trump will bring REAL encomic change and not false hope like Obama gave . Wake up Trump Lovessss his country unlike the lying pathetic woman .


I can't wait until silent voters come out in force and give Trump the victory he needs .
