I tried to tell NJM, but he wouldn't listen. It gets very tiring reading all of the revisionist history liberals try to throw around. Its as if they forget that they can be proven wrong with a few simple mouse clicks. Liberalism is a mental disease. How else do you explain the idiocy?

Our current POTUS can also say he was against it, nice job of conveniently forgetting that fact.
What's actually pathetic is that hundreds of American's blood was spilled, and trillions of dollars were blown for naught. Because Bush had a higher calling, like from Jesus or God?
It's actually thousands. Your ignorance is shining through again. What calling lead the Dems to vote for it? Jesus? God?
Clinton was SO concerned about Iraq's WMDs that he signed the Iraq Liberation Act during his presidency, the goal of which was regime change in Iraq. The Bush Admin merely accomplished the Act's goal.
We're sort of discussing the Iraq war here, the invasion of Iraq by US troops for WMD's, (none found) (faulty intelligence?) and a possible return to that country to mop us Bush's mess and stabilize it, please do try to keep up.
One of the main problems with that invasion was the lack of command/control, the first thing the military should have done was to seize and secure all weaponry, which was the reason/mission for the invasion in the first place, big mistake. Whose fault was that? the generals running the show on the ground, or was it Bush's order to just track down and dispose of the dictator? What was the real mission?
US soldiers made a beeline for the oil ministry building, ignoring alleged WMD depots. Make of that what you will.

Seems I do recall some Bush regime lap dogs stating Iraqi oil was going to pay for the war the US started, but I can't find the video of it anymore. I wonder why?
I hope Obama doesn't give the Maliki government anything other than money and advice to just go away and ask some other nation with a bleeding heart to help them. He should go ask the Brits for help, where the doctored intelligence came from.
It wasn't a democrat that got up on podiums and proclaimed that America was threatened by the use of WMD's, democrats, like all Americans were sold a package containing bull feces.
At least we all acknowledge that the Iraq war was a huge mistake. Up until a few years ago, the war actually still had a group of strident defenders who claimed that peace and democracy were ready to flourish in Iraq, but we just had to give it "more time." But as 2013 comes to an end, and Iraq is still in a state of civil war, most of them have given up.
The real lesson is not to repeat the same mistakes elsewhere - we almost got involved in the Syrian civil war a few weeks ago (even more than we already are, behind-the-scenes...). And there are quite a few warmongers who think that invading Iran would be a great idea even today.
There is a one-word rejoinder to them - "Iraq." They have no real response to that anymore.
