Maybe before those that voted for the war in Iraq are trusted to vote again they should pay the tab for their mistake.

Bush declaired war?

Would seem your math isn't nearly as bad as your history or civics.

Take it up with Biden and Hilary, and while you're at it give bubba a swift kick for not solving the Al Qaeda problem after the first WTC attack in 1993.

Noticed you didn't challenge any of the information.

Exactly what did I post that is not believable?
And are you going to tell me how Bush "lied us into war?"

It is like argueing that the earth is round. It is such an established fact that you don't have to continue to prove it. For educational purposes since you don't seem to have access to anything other than faux news, here is a cite. There is a lot of info in here. Please take the time to read it. It will get you up to date since you appear to be four years behind on current events.

Here's another...

Press Release of Intelligence Committee
Senate Intelligence Committee Unveils Final Phase II Reports on Prewar Iraq Intelligence

-- Two Bipartisan Reports Detail Administration Misstatements on Prewar Iraq Intelligence, and Inappropriate Intelligence Activities by Pentagon Policy Office --


Thursday, June 5, 2008 [/b]Washington, DC -- The Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, John D. (Jay) Rockefeller IV, and a bipartisan majority of the Committee (10-5), today unveiled the final two sections of its Phase II report on prewar intelligence. The first report details Administration prewar statements that, on numerous occasions, misrepresented the intelligence and the threat from Iraq. The second report details inappropriate, sensitive intelligence activities conducted by the DoD’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, without the knowledge of the Intelligence Community or the State Department.

I'm okay with that. But Obama voters have to pay the same amount. And until either side has paid off their debts, they can't vote. We'd have a golden age renaissance of elected officials. Just imagine all the third party/independant candidates taking office.

No sweat. I can probably scrape that up from the loose change in the couch. But you Demmies have to pay for the trillions Obama is going to add to the debt. Deal?

I said they should pay for Bush's MISTAKE WITH the war in Iraq. I am not aware of any major legislation that so far is a mistake and has cost the country billions. There has been a lot of proposals and projections but that is about it.
