Bush admin lied to both parties about the evidence on WMDs, and links to al Qaeda. It was corruption and dishonesty of massive proportions.

That is correct. They invented the reasons for it, they sold it to the American people, and they ordered its commencement. They own it, lock, stock and barrel.

Apparently the Republicans know the Iraq war was such a bad mistake, that they are now trying to blame the democrats. You don't hear of any Republicans stepping up and taking credit for what was accomplished there. They are defecting blame and hiding!

Wasn't the warning "if you pull out like you're suggesting we'll have to come back again to fight the same thing in a few years"?
I seem to remember those warnings from some generals and others. Who'd of guessed they'd be correct?
I don't recall, but if someone said it, they were (and are) wrong because we don't ever HAVE TO go back in there again. Only an idiot would stay there forever policing a country we have nothing to do with.

40% of House D's and 60% of Senate D's voted for the War resolution. Including a bunch of their so-called 'leaders.' That's support.

"When you were a candidate, I called you a corporation running for the Presidency masquerading as a human being. In time you turned a metaphor into a reality. As a corporation, you express no remorse, no shame, no compassion and a resistance to admit anything other than that you have done nothing wrong."- Ralph

Actually Bush managed to do severe damage to two countries at the same time: the US and Iraq!

Why are you perpetuating a falsity that has already been debunked here multiple times?

We have been there for over 11 years, spent trillions on that useless war, and lost over 4500 lives?
