More shock and awe would have gotten these Shiites and Sunnis to be a little more agreeable. The entire Iraqi populace should have been treated like enemy combatants.
Some public hangings by American military tribunals would have done wonders as would the complete destruction of Fallujah (move the people after having segregated the women and children from men and terrorist from peaceful citizenry... then level Fallujah!) for the atrocities committed against Blackwater Americans.

Bet we would have been out of there by now and Iraq would be a damned sight more peacful and friendly.
If Hans Blix and crew had been allowed to finish their jobs it would have been summer and all but impossible to invade due to the heat in the desert. Bush had to act immediately due to the momentum he had built up with the constant drumbeat for war, or risk losing the attention and consent of the American people.

That is why Blix was pulled out and the attack started.

Trixie Blixie left on his own accord to accomodate Saddam and frustrate U.S. and U.N. sanctions!
Thank Bush for not putting up with this feces and giving him a taste of Unilateral, congressionally approved Shock and Awe!

How long is the world and ObaMao going to let the Iran nuclear WMD fester.
Hopefully Israel will act unilaterally and put the Ayathollas and AkmadJihad in the same well the 12th imam is currently residing in.

None of the hijackers had guns. Just box cutters which were easy to conceal.

How do you know they weren't based off what Carter gave them?
And, again, the U.S. never supplied Iraq with WMD.

But, hey - when you're on vacation, you don't want to think about the office, huh?
How do you know what was done?
Do you realize how many threats there are each year?
Picking out one (the 9/11 hijackers) out of hundreds of thousands would be impossible... especially in pre-9/11 times.

If you want to know about vacations... ask Obama- he has taken plenty of them already!

It was the first thing he did.
If it was the first thing he did, why did it take over 1 year and 4 months to invade Iraq?

Obama has quite a ways to go to equal Bush's 800+ days in eight years.

Can you say Jamie Goerlich and her stupid separation of sharing intelligence between the FBI and CIA?

Yeah, let's try foreign terrorist combatants as civilians in our courts with full Constitutional Rights of citizens?? Let's NOT!
LOL. Your history is even worse than your spelling. Jamie Gorelick did not create the so-called "wall" (see FISA, 1978), the "wall" is a very, very short one, and nearly all of the occasions on which you have ever heard of the "wall", it has happened simply as part of PR campaigns designed to cover up pre-9/11 bureaucratic failings at both the FBI and CIA. If you would like to peruse a respected overview of the situation, try this one...

Hello?

I'm so tired of hearing liberals use this as the reason why we shouldn't have gone into Iraq, and using it as an excuse to call Bush a "liar".

Problem is that liberals begin to beleive their own lies, do they not?
Oh wait .. was it Clinton that sent troops to Iraq?
